Chemotherapy is the milestone of cancer therapy in the past decades. Next-generation chemotherapy introduces innovative methods that enhance existing drugs and develop new therapeutic platforms aimed at improving effectiveness and reducing side effects by precisely targeting cancer cells.
Hematology is a highly complex, multifaceted and precise specialty involving a Multidisciplinary Team (MDTs) for diagnosis and treatment. We coordinate with Oncologists, Radiologists, Pathologists, Radiation Therapists, Transplant Specialists, Palliative Care Teams, and even financial advisors.
Immunotherapy is a treatment to stimulate the immune system, which normally defends the body from infection, to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. Malignancy is a disease that can evade the immune system by hiding from the immune system, the checkpoints of the T-cells and B-cells lymphocytes.
Target therapy, either orally, intravenously, or subcutaneously, is widely used nowadays, driven by advances in molecular biology to treat various malignancies. The milestones were Trastuzumab, Rituximab & Imatinib targeting breast, B-cell lymphoma & lung cancer respectively in the 1990s.
Hormonal therapy, once seen as supplementary, has now taken center stage, providing robust strategies to disrupt the signals that promote cancer growth. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) has long been a fundamental approach in managing prostate cancer by targeting the male hormones that stimulate tumor growth.
Brachytherapy is a kind of radiotherapy using radioactive sources placed inside the body or near the tumour sites. It has the advantage of delivering a higher radiation dose to the tumour while minimising radiation damage to normal organs or tissues adjacent to the tumour sites.
Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is an advanced technique that integrates imaging, such as X-rays, CT, or MRI scans, into radiotherapy to improve localization accuracy and precision of treatment. IGRT allows clinicians to adjust the patient’s position and the treatment plan in real time.
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is an advanced form of radiation treatment that uses computer-controlled radiation beams to precisely conform to a tumor's shape, varying the intensity of the beams to deliver a high dose to the cancer while minimizing radiation to surrounding critical normal structures.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a recent advanced radiotherapy technique. Compared with conventional radiotherapy, it aims to deliver high-dose radiation to treat tumours in fewer treatment fractions.
Tomotherapy is a special technology of image-guided and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IGRT/IMRT) that precisely targets tumors while minimizing side effects to surrounding healthy tissues.
