Cancer is one of the most serious diseases that can afflict
a person. With over 200 different types of cancer that can occur within the
human body, there are numerous treatment options available. Patients who decide
to go abroad for cancer treatment often have more considerations to deal with
than most other types of treatments.
Some of the most
common cancer treatments that can be found in India include : -
Bone Marrow Transplant : - Bone marrow is a spongy tissue
found inside bones. The bone marrow in the breast bone, skull, hips, ribs and
spine contains stem cells that produce the body's blood cells.
Brachytherapy : -
Brachytherapy
treatment in India is radiation that is given inside the patient, as close
to the cancer as possible. The radiation is delivered inside the body with
radioactive isotopes (chemical elements), inside delivery devices such as
wires, seeds, or rods. These devices are called implants.
Breast Cancer
Treatment : - The term breast cancer refers to a malignant tumor that has
developed from cells in the breast. The breast is composed of two main types of
tissues: glandular tissues and stromal (supporting) tissues.
Chemotherapy
Treatment : - Chemotherapy is a general term for treatments that use
chemical agents (drugs) to kill cancer cells. Many different kinds of drugs are
used, either alone or in combination, to treat different cancers.
IMRT : -
Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a powerful cancer-fighting
technology. Annually, Mayo Clinic radiation oncologists treat more than 200
patients using IMRT.
Lung Cancer Treatment
: - Lung cancer starts in the cells of the lung .The lungs are in the chest
on either side of the heart. The right lung has 3components or lobes and the
left lung 2 lobes. Air is inhaled through the nose and throat and flows past
the voice box (larynx) into the windpipe (Trachea).
Prostate Cancer Treatment in India
: - Prostate cancer is the leading malignancy in men over the age of 50. It is
due to the abnormal proliferation of prostatic tissue cells. It is often a
slow-growing cancer and remains localized at first. Later, it may extend as it
spreads to nearby tissues and organs and then metastasizes to other more
distant organs (lymph nodes, bones, lungs, etc.) via the bloodstream and the
lymphatic system.
Radiation Therapy : -
Tumors are made up of cells that are reproducing at abnormally high rates.
Radiation therapy specifically acts against cells that are reproducing rapidly.
Normal cells are programmed to stop reproducing (or dividing) when they come
into contact with other cells.
Stereotactic
Radiosurgery and Radiotherapy : - Stereotactic radiosurgery is a highly
precise form of radiation therapy used primarily to treat tumors and other
abnormalities of the brain. Despite its name, stereotactic radiosurgery is a
non-surgical procedure that uses highly focused x-rays to treat certain types
of tumors, inoperable lesions and as a post-operative treatment to eliminate
any leftover tumor tissue or to obliterate abnormal blood vessels in congenital
arteriovernous malformations.

The aim of cancer treatment is to completely remove
cancerous tissue from the patient without causing significant damage to the
rest of the body. Cancer occurs when cancerous cells in the body multiply
uncontrollably and accumulate in tumorous masses.
