Introduction
Dr. Tushar Patil, a cancer specialist at Sahyadri Hospital, Pune, provides a broad overview of cancer treatments. Depending on the stage of cancer, different treatment options are available. Surgery is often the primary treatment for early-stage cancers, followed by additional therapies as required.
Surgical Treatment For Cancer
Surgery is a crucial treatment for various cancers, particularly in the early stages. For instance:
- Lung cancer in stage one
- Breast cancer in stage one
- Colon cancer in stage one or two
If surgery is possible, it is performed first. Post-surgery, some patients may require chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormonal treatments, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy.
Advancements In Cancer Surgery
Cancer surgery has significantly advanced in recent years. Traditional open surgeries have evolved into:
- Laparoscopic surgery – A minimally invasive procedure
- Minimally invasive surgery – Removing only a small part of the affected organ
- Robotic surgery – A highly precise and effective option available at Sahyadri Hospital
One notable advancement is breast-conserving surgery, where only a small part of the breast is removed while achieving successful treatment outcomes.
Chemotherapy And Radiation Therapy
For patients requiring chemotherapy, modern advancements have made the treatment more effective with minimal side effects. Most patients now receive chemotherapy on a day-care basis without the need for extended hospitalization.
Radiation therapy has also seen significant progress. Advanced radiation machines enhance precision and effectiveness. Sahyadri Hospital will soon introduce TomoTherapy, a revolutionary radiation technology that improves accuracy and treatment quality.
