A couple of years ago, the diagnosis of cancer sounded like a verdict, but today the latest drugs and treatment methods can cure cancer patients. Highly qualified oncologists of the European Medical Center use the most modern equipment and effective European methods based on evidence-based medicine for treatment. In addition, an individual cancer treatment method is selected for each patient, which depends on its type, stage, and a number of other factors, including the patient's age and health status. This approach increases the chance of recovery and reduces the possibility of side effects during therapy.
To date, there are several ways to treat cancer, but it is worth remembering that tumors respond differently to different techniques, so you should first conduct a full diagnostic examination to select the most effective therapy.
For the treatment of oncological diseases, various drugs are used, the action of which is aimed at destroying/the displacement of cancer cells or the deprivation of cell division signals, which eventually leads to their death. The drugs are divided into several groups according to the mode of action and are used simultaneously, sequentially or in combination.
The Institute of Oncology uses various cancer treatment methods:
-
Surgery is the initial stage in the treatment of cancer. If cancer is detected at an early stage, surgery is often sufficient to remove all cancer cells. Benign tumors are usually removed surgically.
-
Chemotherapy involves the treatment of cancer with drugs that damage and prevent further division of cancer cells.
-
Radiation is often used with surgery or drug treatment. The essence of the method is that high-energy rays hit and kill cancer cells.
-
Hormonal treatment is primarily used to treat breast cancer with hormonal drugs that prevent the growth of cancer cells.
-
Special inhibitors are a relatively new word in oncology. This treatment method affects specific proteins or processes, mainly localized in cancer cells, and affects cell division and growth.
-
Immunotherapy is a treatment that restores the body's immune system's ability to fight various diseases. Immune therapy uses antibodies that attack cancer cells and vaccines that stimulate the body's defenses. In certain cases, immunotherapy can be used alone, or combined with radiation, chemotherapy, or surgical treatment.
The cancer treatment method is chosen after a thorough examination of the patient. For this purpose, the EMC Cancer Clinic has modern diagnostic tools: a multispiral computed tomograph (64 slices) and a magnetic resonance imaging (1.5 tesla) capable of detecting even incipient pathology.
