The Latest Advances in Cancer Treatment and Care

Almost 46% of people who die after age 70 have cancer. For years, people have wondered why, with all the emerging advancements, there are problems in eradicating cancer. Cancer care has dramatically changed over the past decade in India and abroad. The various advancements in radiology, surgery, and medical oncology have all contributed to more cancer patients being treated today than ever before. Chemotherapy treatment has emerged as a haven for many

clients; however, its application is a perplexing concept that only some can adequately execute.

Most Common Forms Of Cancers: 

  1. Carcinomas: One of the most common types of cancers, these are caused by epithelial cells covering the body's outside and inside surfaces.
  2. Sarcomas: Sarcoma is a rare cancer that starts in the tissue or bone. It can also develop inside blood vessels, nerves, deep skin, and fibrous tissues. 
  3. Leukemia: Is a blood and bone marrow cancer characterized by the rapid production of abnormal white blood cells. There are many forms of leukemia that one can contract.
  4. Lymphoma: A cancer that starts in cells of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system (lymph nodes). Hodgkin lymphoma and non-Hodgkin lymphoma are the two main types.  
  5. Lung cancer: Arises from the cells in the lungs and is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths globally. Patients contract lung cancer through smoking, second-hand smoke, genetics, and exposure to harmful toxins.

Advancements in Cancer Therapy That Are Paving The Way

 

  1. Immunotherapy: Immunotherapy has emerged as a powerful treatment for various types of cancers. It works by stimulating the body's immune system capacity and amplifying it to fight cancer cells. Immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy, and therapeutic cancer vaccines are some immunotherapies showing remarkable results in clinical trials.

 

  1. Precision Medicine: Genomics and molecular biology advances have allowed researchers to understand cancer at a genetic level. This knowledge has led to the development of targeted therapies focusing on specific genetic mutations or proteins involved in cancer growth. Targeted therapies are often more effective and cause fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy. While precision medicine is more costly, certain Cancer treatment hospitals provide more affordable alternatives.

 

  1. Minimally Invasive Surgery: Robotics and other advanced surgical techniques have made cancer surgeries less invasive. This reduces recovery times and complications, making treatment more tolerable for patients. These surgeries also used advanced equipment, such as laparoscopic, that reduced tissue damage and bleeding. However, these minimally invasive surgeries must be executed by skilled cancer specialists. 

 

  1. Liquid Radiation: This experimental therapy involves injecting radioactive substances directly into tumors. It's a localized treatment that aims to minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissues. The 2 most common forms of liquid radiation are external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and internal radiation therapy.
