Our team’s approach means better support for patients. They get care that’s right for them. This boosts their chances of a good outcome.
Immunotherapy uses the body’s immune system to fight cancer. It boosts the body’s defenses to better attack cancer cells.
Immunotherapy strengthens the immune system to fight cancer better. It does this in several ways, including:
These methods have shown great promise in fighting cancer in clinical trials.
Immunotherapy works well on many cancers, such as:
The success of immunotherapy depends on the cancer type and the patient’s health.
Immunotherapy is usually safe but can have side effects. These can range from mild to severe. Common side effects include:
It’s important for patients to work closely with their healthcare team to manage these side effects and adjust treatment plans as needed.
Recent studies have shown great results for immunotherapy in treating different cancers. We are dedicated to providing the latest immunotherapy treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Targeted therapy is a big step forward in fighting cancer. It’s more precise than traditional chemotherapy. This method focuses on cancer cells, not healthy ones.
Targeted therapy attacks cancer cells by targeting specific genes or proteins. Advanced genetic and molecular tests help us understand a patient’s cancer. This way, we can stop cancer cells from growing and dividing.
Key aspects of targeted therapy include:
Many targeted therapy medications have been created to fight different cancers. Some target proteins on cancer cells, while others block growth signals. Examples include:
Not every cancer patient can use targeted therapy. It depends on the cancer’s genetic and molecular makeup. Advanced tests help find targetable markers.
It’s important for patients to talk to their healthcare provider about treatment options. This helps decide if targeted therapy is right for them.
For patients with hormone-sensitive cancers, hormone therapy is a targeted treatment. It focuses on the hormonal influences on certain cancers. The goal is to disrupt the growth signals that fuel tumor development.
Hormones are key in the growth of some cancers. For example, estrogen can make breast cancer cells grow. Testosterone can do the same for prostate cancer cells. Knowing how hormones affect cancer growth helps us find effective treatments.
There are several hormone therapy treatments. Each works in a different way. Here are a few:
Hormone therapy can be effective but has side effects. Common ones include hot flashes, fatigue, and mood changes. We help our patients manage these side effects to improve their quality of life.
Understanding hormones’ role in cancer growth and using hormone therapy can help. At our institution, we aim to provide care that meets each patient’s unique needs.
We use radiation therapy as a key part of our fight against cancer. It’s a powerful tool that uses high-energy waves to kill cancer cells. This stops them from growing and spreading.
New technologies have made radiation therapy more precise and effective. Techniques like Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) focus radiation on tumors. This reduces harm to healthy tissues.
Our center has the latest technology, including advanced linear accelerators. These tools help us give our patients the best treatment possible.
Radiation therapy comes in two main types: external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) and internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy). EBRT sends radiation from outside the body to the tumor. Brachytherapy places a radioactive source close to the tumor.
Choosing between EBRT and brachytherapy depends on the tumor’s type, size, and location. Our team decides the best option for each patient.
Radiation therapy can cause side effects like fatigue and skin reactions. The severity depends on the dose and where the radiation is aimed.
We focus on managing these side effects. This includes nutritional advice, pain management, and other support. Our goal is to help patients tolerate treatment and keep their quality of life high.
Modern surgery has changed how we treat cancer. It’s now more precise and less invasive. Surgery is key in fighting many cancers, giving patients a chance to be cured.
New tools and methods have improved cancer surgery a lot. Better imaging, planning, and instruments mean less harm and faster healing. This leads to better results for patients.
Minimally invasive surgery has changed cancer treatment a lot. It’s less harsh on patients and leads to quicker recovery and fewer problems.
Surgery is often part of a bigger treatment plan. It’s usually paired with chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy for the best results.
Photodynamic therapy is a new way to fight cancer. It uses light to kill cancer cells. This method is promising for treating some cancers and pre-cancerous conditions.
This therapy uses a light-sensitive compound called a photosensitizer. It’s activated by specific light, usually from a laser. When it’s activated, it reacts with oxygen to kill cancer cells.
This process is very precise. It helps avoid harming healthy tissues nearby. The success of photodynamic therapy depends on the cancer type, its stage, and the patient’s health. Key advantages include precise targeting and fewer side effects than traditional treatments.
Photodynamic therapy is best for treating certain skin cancers, esophageal cancer, and lung cancer. It’s ideal for early-stage cancers or pre-cancerous lesions. We assess each patient to see if this therapy is right for them.
Photodynamic therapy has its limits. The light can’t penetrate very deep, making it less effective for thick or deep tumors. Patients also need to avoid sunlight and certain lights after treatment to prevent reactions.
We think about these points when deciding if photodynamic therapy is right for patients. We make sure they know the benefits and limitations of this treatment.
Laser therapy is a new way to fight cancer. It uses light to kill cancer cells. This method is getting attention for its ability to treat cancer with fewer side effects.
Laser therapy is used in many ways to treat cancer. It can remove tumors and ease cancer symptoms. This technology targets cancer cells, protecting healthy tissue.
Laser therapy is used in many ways, from easing symptoms to curing cancer. For example, it can:
Laser therapy is precise, unlike traditional surgery. It targets cancer cells better, reducing risks and healing faster.
Patients often feel less pain and have fewer problems with laser therapy. It’s less invasive, causing less damage and smaller scars.
| Benefits | Laser Therapy | Traditional Surgery |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | High | Variable |
| Recovery Time | Faster | Longer |
| Complications | Fewer | More |
Laser therapy works well with other cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. We tailor treatments to each patient’s needs.
Using laser therapy with other treatments offers a better way to fight cancer. For instance, it can shrink tumors before chemotherapy or radiation, making these treatments more effective.
The way we treat cancer is changing fast. Now, we have many options other than chemotherapy. Immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy are giving patients new hope. These treatments are showing great results, like the combination of anti-TIGIT domvanalimab with anti-PD-1 zimberelimab and chemotherapy.
This combo was tested in a Phase 2 EDGE Gastric study. It showed a median overall survival of 26.7 months for patients with unresectable or advanced gastroesophageal adenocarcinomas.
We at our institution are dedicated to leading these advancements. We aim to give patients the most effective and caring treatment. The future of cancer treatment is all about personalizing care and improving patient outcomes. We’re always looking for new ways to treat cancer, ensuring our patients get the best care possible.
We offer many alternative cancer treatments. These include immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy. We also have radiation therapy, surgery, photodynamic therapy, and laser therapy.
Immunotherapy boosts your body’s immune system. It helps your body fight cancer by making it better at recognizing and attacking cancer cells.
Targeted therapy uses medications to target specific cancer cells. This approach is gentler on healthy tissues. Chemotherapy, on the other hand, affects both cancerous and healthy cells.
Hormone therapy disrupts the hormonal influences on certain cancers. It slows or stops the growth of cancer cells that are sensitive to hormones.
We use both external and internal radiation approaches. We also use modern techniques and technologies for precise and effective radiation therapy.
Our surgical teams use minimally invasive surgical options. They also use other advancements in cancer surgery techniques. This helps remove tumors while minimizing recovery time and scarring.
Photodynamic therapy is a light-activated treatment that targets cancer cells. It is effective for certain types of cancer. But, it may not be suitable for all patients or cancer types.
Laser therapy offers a precise and innovative approach to cancer treatment. It uses light to target and destroy cancer cells. Often, it has fewer side effects than traditional surgical approaches.
Our team of oncologists, surgeons, and other healthcare professionals work together. They develop personalized treatment plans. They consider the patient’s unique needs and the type and stage of their cancer.
