Best Cancer Treatment in Bangalore

Surgery is the primary treatment for most tumors. It is generally combined with other treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation to manage cancer effectively.

With the help of surgery, the surgical oncologist will remove the tumor and nearby healthy tissues from the body to completely eliminate cancer.

Cancer surgery is either performed through open surgery or minimally invasive surgery, including laparoscopic, robotic, and endoscopic surgery.

At MACS Clinic, we offer all types of surgical approaches. Our Chief of Surgical Oncology, Dr. Sandeep Nayak, is considered one of the best surgical oncologist in India. He specializes in robotic and laparoscopic surgery and has an excellent track record.

Chemotherapy is used to target and kill cancer cells all over the body. It is a drug-based treatment that inhibits cancer cells from growing, dividing, and making more cells. For this, the medical oncologist will use powerful drugs that can also harm the healthy cells.

Depending on the type of cancer and its stage, chemotherapy is given either to cure, control, or ease cancer symptoms. It is generally given in cycles with a rest period between them to allow the body to make new healthy cells.

The medical oncologist can give chemo in different ways, such as oral, intravenous, injection, topical, intrathecal, intraperitoneal, and intra-arterial. They will decide the way it will be administered depending on your cancer.

Radiation therapy is a standard treatment for cancer where high-energy waves or particles like electron beams, x-rays, gamma rays, or protons are used to destroy cancer cells or shrink the tumor.

Radiation works by damaging the DNA that regulates how the cells grow and divide. This treatment is scheduled to be given over a specific number of days. Depending on cancer type, size, and location, the radiation oncologist may provide it before or after surgery.

When radiation is given through machines outside the body, it is called external beam radiation, and it includes 3D-CTR, IMRT, proton beam therapy, IGRT, and SRT.

Internal radiation therapy is referred to as brachytherapy. Here, radioactive materials are kept permanently or temporarily in cancer or the surrounding tissues. Intrabeam-IORT is one such devise which is mainly used in breast cancer.

The radiation oncologist at MACS Clinic, Dr Nisha Vishnu, has years of experience in this field and is proficient in advanced techniques. They have handled many complex cases with expertise and precision.

Immunotherapy is a cancer treatment that stimulates the body’s natural defences in order to fight cancer. It improves how your immune system finds and destroys cancer cells by using substances produced in the body or a laboratory.

Your immune system, which comprises white blood cells, tissues, and organs, is a complex system that helps your body fight disease. Many of the immune system’s natural defences are frequently bypassed by cancer, allowing it to thrive.

Some immunotherapy treatments work by assisting the immune system in halting or slowing cancer cell development. Others aid the immune system in destroying cancer cells or preventing the spread of cancer to other parts of the body.

We at MACS Clinic offer immunotherapy cancer treatment in Bangalore. We keep ourselves abreast with the latest advancement in immunotherapy so that our patients can benefit from it.

A bone marrow transplant, also called stem cell transplant, transfuses healthy bone marrow cells into a patient either from their own body or a donor.

It is used to treat certain cancers that affect the bone marrow, such as myeloma, leukemia, lymphoma, and other blood and immune system disorders.

Sometimes heavy doses of chemotherapy and radiation that successfully kill cancer cells may also destroy the bone marrow, where blood cells are produced.

After undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, the oncologist may perform a bone marrow transplant to restore the bone marrow. It will start producing new healthy blood cells, which can attack and destroy any remaining cancer cells.

Bone marrow transplant is a complex procedure that requires an experienced oncologist and advanced technology, both available at MACS Clinic.

Hormones are substances or proteins produced by the body that aid in regulating specific cell functions.Some types of cancers, such as prostate, and breast cancers,require hormones to grow. As a result, hormone-blocking or altering medicines may be able to help delay or stop the progression of certain tumors.

Hormone therapy, also known as endocrine therapy or hormonal therapy, is used in conjunction with other cancer treatments, but it can also relieve cancer symptoms.

It is a systematic treatment that locates and targets specific hormones all over the body. It either prevents your body from producing certain hormones or from functioning normally. It also can prevent them from attaching to cancer cells.

Hormone therapy is administered through oral medication, injection, or implant. Even surgery can be performed to remove the hormone-producing organs such as your testicles or ovaries.

Targeted cancer therapy uses drugs that target specific components of cancer cells, such as proteins or genes, that aid in the growth and spread of cancer. Targeted therapy may be more effective than standard treatments for certain cancers.

The FDA has approved targeted medicines for over 15 cancers, including prostate, colon, breast, and lung cancers.

However, researchers must first detect the genetic modifications that help a tumor grow and evolve in order to design targeted medicines. A protein found in cancer cells but not healthy ones could be a potential target for this therapy.

Once a mutation has been recognized, researchers create a medication that specifically targets that mutation. Targeted therapy includes small-molecule drugs and monoclonal.

We at MACS Clinic offer this new age cancer treatment in Bangalore. Many of our cancer patients have benefited from targeted therapy.
