Cancer Treatment

Cancer treatment involves a variety of approaches tailored to the specific type, stage, and location of the cancer, as well as the patient's overall health and preferences. The primary goal is to remove or destroy cancer cells, prevent recurrence, and minimize side effects.

The main treatment modalities include surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy.

Cancer treatment often involves a combination of these therapies, known as multimodal therapy. The choice of treatment depends on various factors, including the benefits and risks of each approach, the patients' overall health, and the potential impact on their quality of life. Treatment plans are developed by a multidisciplinary team of specialists, including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, pathologists, and radiologists, among others.

 

 


 

Organ transplant

Organ transplant is a medical procedure where an organ is extracted from the body of the same or different person to replace a diseased or damaged organ. 
The most common transplanted organs include the kidney, heart, pancreas, lungs, thymus, intestines, and uterus. Also, body tissues such as the bones, skin, tendons or musculoskeletal grafts, heart valves, cornea, veins, and nerves can be transplanted. 
Organ transplantation is an effective and life-saving mode of treatment, especially for patients whose organs do not function properly for some reason. The critical factor for organ transplant success is tissue compatibility between the organ donor and the recipient.
