Oncology

Modern oncology studies the cause, development and treatment of tumor processes and covers a wide range of medical and biological problems. Oncology diseases occur during degeneration and overgrowth of tissues and appears as various tumors.

Cancer diseases have become more common, but oncology treatment in foreign specialized medical centers in 90% of cases gives a good result, and many types of malignant tumors are completely cured.

Many patients prefer foreign hospital for the treatment of cancer. Medical centers in Germany, Israel, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand and Japan have proven effective treatment of the most common types of cancer such as:

Breast cancer;
Stomach cancer;
Rectal and colon cancer;
Cervical cancer;
Liver and kidney cancer;
Prostate cancer;
Lung cancer;
Skin cancer;
Brain tumor;
Thyroid cancer;
Pediatric oncology
Blood Oncology

Treatment efficacy of oncology diseases in Asian countries is based on accurate diagnostics and high professionalism of specialists who regularly undergo training in leading cancer centers in the United States and Europe, equipment of medical centers with the most modern diagnostic facilities that allow conducting research at the cellular and molecular level and timely detection of cancer

Foreign specialists use various methods of cancer treatment, including minimally invasive procedures, which are the least traumatic for patients. The effective course of treatment for each patient is selected individually. The safety and reliability of treatment is confirmed by permits and certificates.

Medical centers in Germany, Israel, South Korea and Singapore are actively using stem cell transplantation as a new method of treating cancer, using laser therapy and radiology.

The treatment of children's oncological diseases has its own characteristics, as a rule, well-proven methods are used: sparing chemotherapy, bone marrow transplantation, and rehabilitation.

Foreign oncologists not only save the lives of many patients, but also return them to their normal lifestyle, thanks to the rapid introduction of advanced technologies. In the field of Oncology, one of the latest achievements is radiation therapy devices that allow precise control of the direction and dose of radiation. For example, the latest RAPIDARC equipment from Varian Medical Systems, a leading manufacturer of medical equipment and software for the treatment of cancer and other diseases, giving new hope to many patients suffering from cancer, is actively used today in South Korea. The device is based on the use of high-precision linear accelerators in conjunction with computer tomography, performed in real time, which direct radiation to the cancer 10 times more powerful than the previous generation of devices, without affecting healthy organs. RAPIDARC saves the patient from surgery, reduces treatment time, reduces side effects, and extends the patient's life span.

Treatment of Oncology abroad is carried out by the latest methods of high-dose chemotherapy, the use of a unique method of treating brain tumors - "Gamma knife" and "Cyber knife", immunotherapy, local hyperthermia and cryotherapy.

The price of cancer treatment in medical centers in South Korea, Singapore and Thailand is on average 40-50% less than in the USA, Germany and the UK. Affordable prices, professional staff and a high level of service in Cancer Centers in Asia make them attractive to residents of many countries.

Treatment of breast cancer

Mastectomy is a surgery to remove breast tissue that is affected by a malignant tumor or is in a precancerous state. There are several different mastectomy procedures:

Partial mastectomy or lumpectomy-removes the tumor and a small supply of surrounding breast tissue;
Simple mastectomy, when the entire breast is removed;
Modified radical mastectomy - the entire breast and some lymph nodes in the armpit area will be removed, and the chest muscles remain in place;
Radical mastectomy-remove the entire breast, lymph nodes, and chest muscles (performed rarely).

In the surgical treatment of breast cancer, one of the main tasks is to reduce the scale of the operation, without reducing its effectiveness and the chances of complete healing. Throughout the history of the development of methods of treatment for this disease, doctors have always attached great importance to the psychological side of the issue, given the emotional vulnerability of women.

The surgery involves removal of the enlarged mammary gland of infected and adjacent axillary lymph nodes. Currently, "breast-preserving surgery" is being performed without complete amputation, and the scale of surgery to remove neoplasms in the axillary lymph nodes is being reduced in most patients with minimal risk of further complications.

Nowadays this surgical procedure involves the removal of up to 95% of breast tissue, including the skin of the areola of the nipple and usually does not include the removal of the chest muscles. Willing patients can undergo plastic surgery to restore the breast, which is performed either during the removal of the tumor or at another designated time, by agreement.

Stomach cancer is a malignant tumor that develops from the gastric mucosa. Stomach cancer is one of the most common types of cancer

Currently, the main method of radical treatment of stomach cancer is surgery. Gastric resection also provides the best palliative treatment: the cause of dysphagia, bleeding and pain is eliminated, the number of tumor cells in the body is reduced, which contributes to an increase in life expectancy and significant relief of the patient's condition.

Types of surgical treatment for stomach cancer:

Removal of part of the gaster - gastrectomy (distal - removal of the output portion, the proximal - removal of closest to the esophagus) and is performed when exophytic tumours antral or cardiac departments of the stomach, respectively.
Gastrectomy - removal of the entire stomach, followed by the formation of a "reservoir" of loops of the small intestine, is performed for tumors of the stomach body (the middle part).
Combined advanced operations - removal of parts of nearby organs involved in the tumor - the pancreas, liver, and others.
Removal of gastrostoma - the formation of a hole in the stomach on the abdomen, is performed for undetectable tumors that violate the passage of food, to feed patients, in order to ease the patient's condition and prolong life.
Forming a bypass joint between the stomach and intestinal loops-creating a bypass path for the passage of food, used for non-removable tumors in order to prolong the life of patients.

One of the best medical centers for the treatment of stomach cancer is the National University Hospital of Singapore (Singapore). The advantage of the Cancer Center is a multidisciplinary approach that allows you to develop a comprehensive and individual treatment plan for each patient. Specialists of various fields are actively involved in the treatment process.

Treatment of rectal and colon cancer

The main thing in the treatment of rectal cancer is certainly a surgical method-the removal of the organ affected by the tumor. Any other treatment gives a supportive, temporary effect.

There are various options for the surgery:

Organ-preserving - that is, removing the affected intestine as low as possible and forming a sealed intestinal tube at a lower level in the depth of the pelvis.
Removal of the entire rectum with the movement of part of the overlying healthy sections in its bed and the formation of an" artificial " rectum with the preservation of the sphincter.
A combination of several operations-removal of the rectum with part or completely with other organs when they germinate with a tumor (removal of the wall of the bladder, uterus, vagina), single metastases to the liver.

In addition, radiation therapy is successfully used for rectal tumors.

Radiation treatment is radiation exposure on a special device in a small dose daily for about 1 month, which has a detrimental effect on tumor cells. This method can be used both before surgery to reduce the size of the tumor and transfer the failed tumor to a removable state, and after surgery for detected metastases to the nearby lymph nodes in order to prevent the return of the disease. It can be used as external irradiation and internal (insertion of the sensor into the rectum) or a combination of them.

Samsung Medical Center (Seoul, South Korea) is one of the world leaders in the treatment of cancer, including cancer of the rectum and colon. Samsung Cancer Center is a huge separate building where highly qualified specialists will conduct accurate diagnostics and provide the most effective treatment for cancer patients.

Treatment of lung cancer

Surgical intervention is divided into:

radical
conditional radical
palliative care

Radiation treatment of lung cancer is performed in the postoperative period on the bed of the tumor and the pathway of regional lymph flow. In inoperable forms of cancer, if the patient refuses surgical treatment or if there are serious contraindications to surgery, radiation therapy can be performed as an independent method of treatment.

In non-small cell lung cancer, chemotherapy is performed if there are contraindications to surgical and radiation treatment. The following drugs are prescribed: doxorubicin, cisplatin, vincristine, etoposide, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, bleomycin, nitrosyl urea, vinorelbin, paclitaxel, docetaxel, gemcetabine, etc., used in courses at intervals of 3-4 weeks (up to 6-7 courses).

Palliative treatment of lung cancer is used when the possibilities of antitumor treatment are limited or exhausted. This treatment is aimed at improving the quality of life (reducing the severity of symptoms) and increasing the life expectancy of incurable patients.

Treatment of prostate cancer

Treatment depends on the stage of the disease and includes surgery (removal of the prostate), radiation therapy (radiotherapy), as well as hormone treatment and chemotherapy.

Surgical methods of treatment are used only when the tumor has not yet metastasized. In this case, the prostate is removed. If the operation is performed successfully, it almost guarantees a complete cure from prostate cancer without any health consequences.

In recent years, due to effective results, robotic prostatectomy using a robot (daVinci Robot) has become popular abroad.

The DaVinci Robot

The DaVinci robot allows the operating urologist to hold instruments and a video camera, which significantly improves the accuracy of the operation, improves the visibility of the operating field. This allows the urologist to remove the prostate gland with seminal vesicles, while preserving intact the muscles and nerves of the pelvic floor, and thus avoid the occurrence of urinary incontinence, feces and significantly reduce the risk of developing sexual weakness.

The advantages of laparoscopic prostatectomy using the DaVinci robot are:

the radicality of the surgery with laparoscopic access using the DaVinci robot is the same as when performing the operation using the usual open method. This is indicated by the "negative edge" of the removed organ, i.e. the absence of cancer cells on the borders of the tissues of the removed prostate.
significant reduction in blood loss and no need for blood transfusion (blood transfusion);
minimal pain in the early postoperative period, which practically does not require analgesia;
the average patient stays in the hospital for 23 hours;
the patient can return to normal activity within a day;
retention of urine occurs several weeks after surgery
the surgery gives excellent results breaking minimally the erectile function at the expense of the minimum trauma of sexual nerves;
excellent cosmetic effect-minimal scar from surgery;

Laparoscopic radical prostatectomy using the DaVinci robot is the latest technology and medicine in the treatment of prostate cancer. The use of this technique allows not only to improve the radical treatment of prostate cancer, but also to improve the quality of life of the patient due to the minimum number of complications and the duration of stay in the hospital.

Treatment of pediatric oncology

Treatment methods for pediatric Oncology are similar to those for adult patients and include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. But the treatment of children has its own characteristics.

So, in the first place, they have chemotherapy, which, thanks to the Protocol method of treating diseases and its constant improvement in all economically developed countries, becomes as sparing and as effective as possible

Radiation therapy in children should have a strict justification, because it can have consequences for the normal growth and development of irradiated organs.

Surgical treatment today usually complements chemotherapy and only precedes it in neuroblastomas.

New low-trauma surgical techniques are widely used (embolization of tumor vessels, isolated vascular perfusion, etc.), as well as some other methods: cryotherapy, hyperthermia, laser therapy.

A separate type of intervention is stem cell transplantation, which has its own list of conditions, indications and contraindications, as well as hemocomponent therapy.

After the main course of treatment, patients need rehabilitation, which is carried out in specialized centers, as well as further monitoring, the appointment of supportive therapy and the implementation of medical recommendations, which together makes it possible to achieve success in treatment in most cases.
