Treatment Methods Used in Oncology

In modern oncology, various treatment methods are employed to manage and combat cancer. These approaches are often tailored to each patient's specific type of cancer, stage, and overall health. Below are the key treatment methods commonly used today:

• Surgery. One of the most common treatments for solid tumors, surgery involves the physical removal of the cancerous tissue. Depending on the case, it can be combined with other treatments like chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
• Chemotherapy. Chemotherapy uses powerful drugs to kill rapidly dividing cancer cells. It can be administered orally or through intravenous (IV) infusion, and is often combined with other therapies to maximize effectiveness.
• Radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors. Techniques like external beam radiation, stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), and advanced methods like Gamma Knife and CyberKnife offer precise targeting to minimize damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
• Targeted therapy. Targeted therapy involves drugs that specifically target cancer cells' unique proteins or genes, interfering with cancer cell growth and spread while sparing healthy cells.
• Immunotherapy. A cutting-edge approach, immunotherapy harnesses the body’s immune system to fight cancer. It includes therapies like checkpoint inhibitors and CAR-T cell therapy, which enhance or modify the immune response to target cancer cells.
• Hormone therapy. For cancers such as breast or prostate cancer, hormone therapy can block the body's natural hormones, slowing or stopping cancer growth.
• Proton therapy. Proton therapy is a form of radiation therapy that uses protons instead of traditional x-rays to target tumors with high precision, particularly beneficial for certain types of cancer.
• Cryoablation. A minimally invasive technique, cryoablation uses extreme cold to destroy cancerous tissues. It is often used for localized cancers.

These treatment methods form the core of modern oncology, and our partner clinics specialize in personalizing these approaches to each patient's unique needs.

Diagnostic Methods Used in Oncology

Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective cancer treatment, and modern oncology relies on advanced diagnostic methods to detect cancer early, determine its extent, and guide personalized treatment plans. Below are some of the most important diagnostic tools and technologies used in oncology today:

• Biopsy. A biopsy involves taking a small sample of tissue from a suspicious area and examining it under a microscope. It is the gold standard for confirming a cancer diagnosis. Types of biopsies include needle biopsies, surgical biopsies, and minimally invasive procedures like fine needle aspiration and core needle biopsy.
• Molecular and genetic testing. Molecular profiling and genetic testing analyze the DNA, RNA, and proteins of cancer cells. These tests can help determine mutations and other genetic changes, providing crucial information for targeted therapies and personalized treatment plans.
• Imaging technologies. Modern imaging techniques are essential for diagnosing cancer, staging it, and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment. These include:
• Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan. PET scans provide detailed images of cancerous tissues and help detect cancer spread (metastasis).
• Computed Tomography (CT) scan. CT scans use X-rays to create cross-sectional images of the body, allowing doctors to visualize tumors and evaluate their size and location.
• Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues, helping to detect brain, spinal cord, and other soft tissue cancers.
• Ultrasound. Ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of organs and tissues, often used to guide biopsies or assess tumors in areas like the liver or ovaries.
• Mammography. A specialized X-ray for detecting breast cancer, mammography is an essential tool for early detection and screening of breast tumors.
• Endoscopy. Endoscopy involves using a thin, flexible tube with a camera to visualize the inside of the body. Common endoscopic procedures include colonoscopy (for colon cancer) and bronchoscopy (for lung cancer), allowing for both visualization and biopsy.
• Liquid biopsy. A liquid biopsy is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive test that analyzes small fragments of tumor DNA circulating in the blood. This technique is used to detect cancer, monitor its progression, and identify genetic mutations that can guide treatment decisions, particularly in cases where traditional tissue biopsy is challenging.
• Pathology and histopathology. After tissue samples are taken through a biopsy, they are examined by a pathologist to determine the presence of cancer cells. Histopathology involves examining tissues under a microscope, and specialized staining techniques are used to identify specific cancer types and subtypes.
• Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS). This advanced genomic testing method allows for the analysis of multiple cancer-related genes simultaneously. It provides a comprehensive overview of genetic alterations that could be driving cancer, helping doctors choose the most appropriate targeted therapies.
• Tumor markers and blood tests. Blood tests can detect tumor markers—substances produced by cancer cells that enter the bloodstream. Tumor marker tests, such as CA-125 for ovarian cancer or PSA for prostate cancer, can be used to help diagnose specific cancers and monitor treatment progress.
• Bone marrow aspiration and biopsy. These tests are used to diagnose blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma. A sample of bone marrow is taken to assess the number and types of cells in the bone marrow.

Each of these diagnostic methods plays a crucial role in identifying the presence of cancer, determining its stage, and guiding the best course of treatment. Early and accurate diagnosis ensures that treatment can be targeted effectively, maximizing the chances of success and improving patient outcomes.
