Cancer Treatment Methods

 Surgery aims to physically remove the tumor from the body. It is commonly used in the early stages of solid tumors. Post-operative treatment may include chemotherapy or radiotherapy depending on the case. 

Chemotherapy uses drugs that target rapidly dividing cells, aiming to stop or slow the growth of cancer. It affects the entire body and may cause side effects such as hair loss and nausea. Despite its impact on healthy tissues, it remains a key component in many treatment plans.

Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells. It is often applied locally to a specific area and can be used in combination with surgery or chemotherapy for enhanced effectiveness.

Immunotherapy boosts the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer. It activates or enhances the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells. This method is increasingly used in treating cancers like melanoma, lung cancer, and kidney cancer.

This modern approach uses drugs that specifically target genetic or molecular markers found in cancer cells. It minimizes damage to healthy cells and may result in fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.

 ECCT (Electro-Capacitive Cancer Therapy) is a novel, non-invasive approach that uses electric fields to disrupt the division and membrane stability of cancer cells. Through capacitive garments, the patient is exposed to carefully tuned electric fields. This therapy is designed to selectively affect cancer cells while preserving healthy tissue.
