TREATMENT AND SERVICES

treatment and services

• Colo-Rectal Surgery: This surgery is done to remove the infected part only within the colon. It removes the cancerous tissues, tumours, and affected lymph nodes to prevent cancer from spreading to other organs of the body. Though in most cases the colorectal surgeons may reconnect the bowel after removing the infected areas, sometimes they may be required to create a temporary stoma for drainage into a colostomy bag. 
• Radiation Therapy: Also known as External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT), Radiationis common to treat colorectal cancer. The radiation beam is aimed or targeted at the cancer-detected spot. The precise treatments of radiation ensure that fewer healthy tissues are exposed to radiation. Some of these technologies include 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy, Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy. Apart from this, the experts also used Interventional Radiology, which is a minimally invasive technique to target cancer cells. 
• Colorectal Chemotherapy: Systematic Chemotherapy and Regional Chemotherapy are the two ways by which Colorectal Chemotherapy is performed. During this process, anti-cancer drugs are injected into the bloodstream to destroy the cancer cells in the body. 
• Immunotherapy: The treatment allows the body’s immune system to fight the cancerous cells. T-cell transfer therapy, immune checkpoint inhibitors, monoclonal antibodies, treatment vaccines, and immune system modulators are certain types of immunotherapies that are used to treat colorectal cancer.
• Adjuvant Thermal Ablation: This involves using microwaves, radio frequencies, ethanol, or cryosurgery to destroy cancerous tissues or their functions. It is used in the treatment of oligometastatic colon cancer and liver diseases and offers improved oncologic results.
