Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is one of the common treatment options for many types of cancer. Chemotherapy uses drugs to destroy the developing cancer cells. Chemotherapy is planned to perform several functions. It helps treat cancer, repetition, stops its spread, or slows its growth. It can shrink large tumors and help relieve pain and other cancer-related symptoms. As a cancer treatment, chemotherapy may be used alone or in combination with other options. Other cancer treatments are often used along with chemotherapy.

Chemotherapy drugs kill cancer cells, but they also damage healthy cells in the process. Hence chemotherapy has side effects such as fatigue, chapped lips, stomach problems, and hair loss.

Types of Chemotherapy for Cancer treatment

• Alkalizing agent
• Antimetabolites
• Plant alkaloids
• Antitumor Antibiotics

Chemotherapy Injection

This is the most common way of doing chemotherapy when patients are given injections of chemotherapy drugs during treatment. Such injections are given either intravenously or through a chemo port, where the drug enters the bloodstream directly.

Benefits of Chemotherapy for Cancer treatment

• It can reduce or slow down the effects of cancer.
• Chemotherapy after surgery may reduce the risk of cancer recurrence.
• The patient remains in touch with the doctor for regular check-ups, and tests and is assured by this,
• In some people, in the early stages of cancer, chemotherapy can shrink cancer so much that it can be completely removed with surgery.

 Side Effects of chemotherapy

• Headache
• Muscle pain
• Abdominal pain
• Pain from nerve damage, such as burning, numbness, and severe pain in the fingers or toes.

Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Its goal is to destroy or damage cancer without harming healthy cells. At low doses, X-rays use radiotherapy (radiation) to look inside your body, as is done for X-rays of your teeth or broken bones.

Cancer cells whose DNA is damaged stop dividing and die. When damaged cells die, they break down and are removed by the body.

Radiation therapy does not kill cancer cells immediately. It takes several days or weeks for the DNA to be damaged enough for cancer cells to die. Then, cancer cells continue to die for weeks or months after radiation therapy ends.

Radiation therapy can be used during different stages of cancer treatment and for different outcomes. Radiation therapy can be used to:

• To reduce symptoms in an advanced stage, last-stage cancer
• As a primary treatment for cancer
• In combination with other cancer treatments
• To shrink the tumor before surgery
• To kill any remaining cancer cells after surgery

Types of Radiation Therapy

There are two main types of radiation therapy:-

External beam radiation therapy

External beam radiation therapy is a machine that targets radiation at your cancer. The machine is large and can be quite noisy. It doesn't touch you, but moves around you, sending radiation from multiple directions to one part of your body.

External beam radiation therapy is a local treatment, which means it treats a specific part of your body. For example, if you have cancer in your lungs, you will only have radiation to your chest, not your entire body.

Internal radiation therapy

Internal radiation therapy is a treatment in which a source of radiation is injected inside your body. The radiation source can be solid or liquid.

Internal radiation therapy with a solid source is called brachytherapy. In this type of treatment, seeds, ribbons, or capsules containing a radiation source are placed in or near the tumor in your body. Like external beam radiation therapy, brachytherapy is a local treatment and only treats a specific part of your body.

Benefits of radiation therapy for cancer treatment -

The most prominent benefit is that this therapy can help stop the growth of cancer.

In some people who have pancreatic cancer or an early stage of cancer, radiotherapy makes surgery possible.

Each stage of treatment lasts 10 to 30 minutes and doesn't require you to stay in the hospital.

If you wish, you can continue with your normal lifestyle, such as going to work, etc.

If you have advanced-stage cancer, radiotherapy can work to control symptoms and relieve pain.

Side Effects of Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy is used on a certain organ, so its harmful effects also depend on the organ that is being treated. However, most people have very few side effects, the effect can vary from person to person.

You may experience one or more of the following effects during your cancer treatment -

Nausea 

Depending on which part of your body is being treated, you may feel nauseous. It doesn't happen with everyone. Tell your best medical oncologist if you feel this, as it can be controlled with medicine or diet. 

 Diarrhea 

You may get diarrhea, if this happens, tell your doctor so that he can give you some medicine for it. He can also give you suggestions on how to change your diet. 

 Frequent urination problem

If this treatment is being done in your lower abdomen, then you may have problems with frequent urination. If this happens, tell your doctor so that you can have a urine test done to see if you have an infection. (Read more: Burning in urine treatment)

 Mouth Cancer

This problem occurs only when the treatment is done around the mouth and throat. (Read more - Mouth cancer)

Hair fall 

This problem also occurs in the same part of the body where the treatment is done. For example, if you are being treated for your scalp, you may have hair loss on your scalp, and if you are being treated for your chest, then you will have only chest hair loss.

Whether your hair will regrow or not depends on the level of radiation. Your doctor can tell exactly how quickly your hair will or will not regrow.

Targeted Therapy

Cancer is a deadly disease. Due to negligence in the treatment of this disease, the patient loses his life. Only if the symptoms of a life-threatening disease like cancer are seen, the patient should be treated only after consulting a doctor. You can meet the best medical oncologist Dr. Sajjan Rajpurohit for this. Apart from chemotherapy, many other treatments are also used to treat cancer. Targeted therapy is used in the treatment of many types of cancer. Targeted therapy is done to control and cure cancer cells. This therapy is done to stop the growth and development of cancer cells. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has also approved the use of targeted therapy for the treatment of several types of cancer. This therapy is designed to match the changes in DNA and the growth of cancer cells.

How Does Targeted Therapy Work?

When cancer cells develop in the body, the cells form tissues in the body. For example, in your blood cells, brain cells and skin cells, cancer cells are formed. All types of cells work in the body. Cancer cells build up in the body due to genetic mutations and many other reasons. These cells of the body are inactivated by targeted therapy. In this therapy, cancer cells are also stopped from growing and dividing. Through this therapy, only cancer cells in the body are targeted. This therapy is given after identifying the genetic changes that help the tumor to grow and transform. Through this, the proteins present in the cancer cells are targeted. In targeted therapy, cancer cells are blocked and destroyed, so the patient's healthy cells are saved in this therapy. Cancer cells are different from healthy cells. This therapy is designed in such a way that it allows cancer cells to be detected separately and they can be destroyed in such a safe way that there is no harm to healthy cells.

Types of Targeted Therapy:-

• Kinase inhibitor
• Angiogenesis Inhibitors
• Monoclonal antibody
• Radioimmunotherapy

Benefits of Targeted Therapy:-

Different targeted therapies offer various advantages. Contingent upon your treatment objectives, your drug(s) might be utilized to:

• Square or mood killer flags that advise disease cells to develop or duplicate.
• Change proteins inside malignant growth cells that make those cells pass on.
• Keep fresh blood vessels from framing, which removes blood supply to your cancer.
• Advise your invulnerable framework to go after the disease cells.
• Convey poisons that kill disease cells without hurting solid cells.

Side effects of Targeted Therapy:-

• Acne-like rash on the scalp, face, neck, chest, and back.
• Itching and burning problem.
• Extreme sensitivity to sunlight.
• Dry skin problem.
• Swollen, painful sores on your fingernails and toes.
• Problems with the scalp and hair loss or baldness.
• Redness of eyelids and problems related to eyes.

Robotic Surgery

Robot-Assisted Surgery refers to such surgery, which is performed by a robotic arm or manually. Its procedure is very similar to that of laparoscopic surgery, but the only difference is that this surgery is done with the help of a computer.

Types of Robotic Surgery

Robotic Gynecologic Surgery- For some women, Robotic Gynecologic Surgery may prove to be a good alternative to open surgery or standard laparoscopic procedures.

Open Gynecological Surgery, in which a large incision is made in the abdomen so that surgeons can treat the uterus or its surrounding organs.

Robotic Prostate Surgery – Numerous studies have shown that radical prostatectomy is one of the most effective treatments for prostate cancer.

Radical prostatectomy refers to a procedure in which the prostate and its surrounding cancerous tissue are removed.

Robotic kidney surgery- Kidneys can get damaged mainly in many conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, stones etc.

In such a situation, doctors recommend kidney dialysis or kidney transplant surgery, these surgeries are also known as robotic kidney surgery.

Robotic colorectal surgery- During robotic colectomy surgery, surgeons remove cancerous portions of the colon and rectum.

With the help of a robot, surgeons are able to reconnect the two ends after removing cancer.

Robotic Spine Surgery- As the name suggests, Robotic Spine Surgery refers to such surgery, which is taken to reduce back pain.

Benefits of Robotic Surgery:-

Accuracy – The major advantage of robotic surgery is that it is very precise.

With this, the person gets rid of the disease, for which he had come to get this surgery done.

Less pain- Since, this surgery is done with the help of a robot, due to the person does not feel any kind of pain during this.

Making small cuts – Robotic surgery involves making a much smaller cut as compared to other surgeries.

These cuts fill up on their own over time.

Less wound- The person doing this surgery does not face any kind of problem during this surgery and with this he does not have any kind of wound in this whole process.

Rapid improvement in health- Another advantage of robotic surgery is that after this the person's health gets rest in a very short time.

CAR-T Cell Therapy

(CAR) stands for chimeric antigen receptor. CAR T cells therapy activates a person's immune system to fight cancer. The unique treatment is a type of immunotherapy called engineered cell therapy or effector cell therapy. Immunotherapy is still new but it works for adults and children for whom other treatments have stopped working.

The T cell is the central component of the immune system. In CAR T cell therapy, the doctor collects T cells from the patient's blood, then takes them to the laboratory and researches the T cells and tries to destroy any cells found to be effective against cancer.

The modified cells are then injected back into the patient's body. If the test is successful, the newly modified T cells will help a person's immune system kill the cancer cells, thereby curing the disease.

Advantages of CAR-T cell therapy

One of the major advantages of CAR-T-cell therapy is the shorter recovery time required - with a single infusion that has been incorrectly observed for a maximum of two weeks and is true. Is. Why invasion chemotherapy is not used, patients with advanced stem cell transplantation have a more rapid recovery than those with aggressive chemotherapy. At some point in the future, care T-cell therapy may replace most types of transplants, but at the present time, care T-cell therapy is approved to treat patients who are or have been patients after transplantation. Rest.

Clinical trials in blood cancer have shown that even patients who came back after zinc cancer was undergoing C-cell therapy to help with those years of contagion. Some people can live a long time without their cancer getting worse, and in some cases, a stem cell transplant is a way to go.

T-cell therapy is also a "living claim" and its benefits can last for years. Selective cells can remain in stock for long periods of time, so they can recognize and attack cancer cells as and when a recurrence occurs. DETA is still evolving, but after 15 months, 42% of diametrical lymphoma patients who received T-cell therapy were still infectious when given seed 19. And two-thirds of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients were still in remission months later. These are the patients whose reason was assumed to be overwhelming and whose lies thwarted any standard of perception.

Side effects of CAR-T therapy 

The most common side effect of CAR-T therapy is said to be the effect of Cytokine release syndrome. Also known as "Cytokine Storm". About 70-90% of karate patients experience it, but it usually lasts only 5 to 7 days. Appropriate patients treat it in the form of severe cases of fruit. This causes high fever, chills, and strain pain. It usually starts around the 2nd or 3rd day after the infusion. This happens because T cells proliferate and attack cancer, triggering an immune response in the body. There is a very effective remedy called Sears Lie Sirizumib. This undoes side effects much faster in the right patient. The drug was originally used to treat rheumatoid arthritis but was subsequently approved by the Khadi Ivan Drug Administration (Effadi) in the United States.

The second hostility is known as "Cilice". This means "see T cell-related encephalopathy syndrome." It usually begins 5 days after infusion. Patients are confused and drowsy, sometimes not speaking at all for several days. SERIES can be annoying to patients and their families, but it is usually completely reversible.
