In simpler words the uncontrolled growth of cells ends up forming a mass of cells and that can spread to the other parts of body is termed as cancer. It is an uncommon malignancy that starts in anus; American cancer society estimated about 8,200 cases of anal cancer in year 2017 in US. More than often say, about 75-80%is diagnosed in primary stage making it easy to treat. Advancement in cancer studies has evolved cancer treatment in the past few years enormously and has helped the best surgical oncologists across the globe to serve their patients in the best possible way.
Several types of surgery are helpful to people with cancer. Some surgeries are used in combination with other types of treatment for the optimum results. Some of the mostly practiced cancer surgeries are as follows:
Stem Cell Transplant: Also referred to as Bone Marrow Transplant, this procedure is implemented to replace the unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy ones. Stem-cell treatment gives the doctors, chance to give huge doses of Chemotherapy or Radiation Therapy to boost the chance of removing Blood Cancer and other forms of Cancer.
Allotransplants: This is the transplantation of tissues, cells, or organs to a recipient from a genetically non-identical donor and the transplant is known as an Allogeneic Transplant, Allograft Transplant, or Homograft. Allotransplantation is very commonly used in the cure of end-stage Liver, Lung, Kidney and Heart diseases.
Paediatric Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy is one of the most matured forms of Cancer treatment and thus can safely be used for the treatment of Cancer in children. The number of drugs used varies as per the type of Leukaemia or Cancer the child is suffering from. This may be used alone or with other treatments like surgery or Radiation. It interferes into the Cancer cell’s ability to grow or multiply.
Palliative Bio-chemotherapy: This is Chemotherapy administered in the non-curative setting to lower the burden of Cancer-related symptoms, enhance the quality of life, and also, to improve survival chances. This has shown very positive results for patients suffering from high risk Cancers.
Concurrent Bio-Radiotherapy: Dr. Raina is especially efficient in implementation of this therapy in the treatment of Head and Neck Cancers. This treatment technique has been observed to enhance the overall condition of the patients.
Systemic chemotherapy: Usually, Chemotherapy is given Systemically, where the Cancer drugs are pass in the body via the mouth, veins, or muscles and reach the bloodstream. This way the medicine reaches the Cancerous cells. At the same time, the medicine also reaches the healthy cells because of which there can be side-effects.
Regional Chemotherapy : In this form of treatment, the medicine is administered in such a way that it stays or is limited to only a section of the body, that is the area affected by Cancer. Owing to this major benefit, the Cancer specialists can administer higher doses of Cancer drug without being worried about the healthy cells getting affected. Dr. Vinod Raina emphasizes the use of Regional Chemotherapy in the treatment of Liver Cancer. Also, for curing Peritoneal Mesothelioma Cancer, T-cell Lymphoma, AIDS–related Lymphoma, Breast Cancer, Oesophageal Cancer, Ovarian Cancer, and Prostate Cancer.
Hormonal Therapy : Hormone Therapy is particularly very effective in the cure of Breast Cancer and Dr. Raina being highly proficient in handling multiple cases of Breast Cancer, strongly favours this therapy. This form of treatment stops or slows down the development of Cancer, which uses the hormones to grow. Hormone Therapy is also referred to as Endocrine Therapy, or Hormonal Therapy. Most often, Hormone Therapy is used in combination with other types of Cancer treatment. When used like this, Hormone Therapy reduces the size of the tumour before Radiation Therapy or surgery and this is known as Neo-adjuvant Therapy. Also, it lowers the chances of the Cancer relapsing after the completion of the primary treatment and this is known as Adjuvant Therapy. Hormone Therapy also destroys the Cancer cells that have come back or invaded into other areas of the body.
Targeted Therapy : Cancer researches and experts have observed and found than there are some differences in the Cancer cells or even the cells surrounding them, which cause the Cancer cells to thrive and grow further. To diminish these differences, there are some drugs available today that particularly target these and this form of treatment is known as Targeted Therapy. What separates the drugs used in Targeted Therapy is, that these drugs attack the inner workings of Cancer cells. More specifically, the programming which makes these cells different from the healthy and normal cells. However, the healthy ones are left alone in this process. Some of the Targeted Drugs are more focused and can attack many different changes in the Cancer cells.
Immunotherapy : This is also referred to as Biotherapy or Biologic Therapy. In this form of treatment, the patient’s own immune system is stimulated to work harder and smarter so that the Cancer cells can be attacked. Also, immune system components are given, like man-made immune system proteins. This treatment is used either alone or in combination with other Cancer treatment. It has proved very effective for curing advanced Lung Cancer, Lymphoma (Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma).
Pain Management : In Cancer, the pain can result from the ailment itself, or from the treatment that the patient is undergoing or sometimes, the patients who have been cured, can continue suffering from the pain. In order to help such patients, there are many pain relief medications, Narcotic pain relievers, anti-depressants, anti-seizure medications or anticonvulsants, and other kinds of drugs. There are pain relief injections as well that are given in or near the nerve or spine.
More specifically, when it comes to Breast Cancer, Dr. Raina endorses the BRCA Test. This is gene test that uses DNA analysis to locate harmful mutations or changes, in any of the two Breast Cancer susceptibility genes, which are BRCA1 and BRCA2. Dr. Raina recommends this test for patients, who have inherited mutation, based on personal or family history. Even those, who have a particular type of Breast Cancer. If the test is positive, then a Preventive Prophylactic Mastectomy is suggested because this lowers the chance of recurrence of Breach Cancer by almost 85-90 percent. However, not every patient needs to under this procedure as there is an option, where the patient can be under meticulous screening that includes frequent MRIs (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), Mammograms and Ultrasounds.
Considering his expertise in handling this wide array of Cancer treatments, Dr. Vinod Raina has also been a member of Multi-disciplinary Tumour Board, which conducts reviews and meets to discuss complicated cases of Cancer. In this group, there are many Cancer experts discuss and decide on which course of treatment is the best for a particular patient or which are the feasible treatment options.
Furthermore, with the voluminous and extensive kind of knowledge in Medical Oncology, Dr. Vinod Raina has been actively involved in doing immense research associated with this field. Also, he has chaired over 50 research projects at AIIMS and has over 200 research publications to his credit, in national as well as international journals.
Debulking surgery: This surgery removes a portion from the cancerous portion and thereafter other types of cancer treatment, such as chemotherapy and radiation can be performed.
Palliative surgery: This procedure is administered in aggressive and advance stage cancer. It doesn’t work to cure cancer, but to relieve discomfort or to correct other problems that cancer or the treatment may have created.
What does the word ‘Cancer’ bring to our minds? Obviously, it is the feelings like shock, grief, trauma, etc. According to WHO (World Health Organization), Cancer is the second foremost cause behind the continually rising mortality rates across the globe.
There is an extreme amount of strain on the medical experts and researchers across the globe to find out more updated and innovative ways to bring this grave health issue under control. More specifically, the field of Oncology has witnessed a drastic up gradation owing to the fast-paced and unfortunate growth of Cancer patients. India has very laudably kept up with this growth and Indian hospitals are regularly investing a lot to keep their infrastructure most updated so that they can cater to the patients in the best way possible. In India, every type of Cancer is tackled very stringently and by keeping the treatment outcome highest and at par with international standards.
Furthermore, not just the hospitals but the Cancer experts associated with these hospitals, are putting in the best efforts to attend to as many patients as possible. Thanks to the knowledge and skills of the Oncologists, there are countless success stories to their credit. No wonder, the footfalls of international patients has gone up majorly. Like India, not every country is fortunate enough to have such progressive Cancer cure and when it comes to Cancer, it doesn’t give much time for the patients to wait for the right. On top of it, if the specific country doesn’t have the needed cure then it further delays the treatment. For such patients, India offers assured and major ray of hope to such patients by providing timely Cancer treatment.
