Generally hospitals don't explain and people don't
come to know about many of the effective treatments of Cancer listed by
the Aerican Cancer Society of USA and other International Cancer
associations. this is because these are given by doctos having expertise
in that area and are available at few places in the world.
Treatments which are established to be
effective: 1. Surgery
2. Dendritic cell Immunotherapy
3. Antiangiogenic treatment
4. Immunomodulator therapy
5. Radiotherapy or radiation therapy
6. Chemotherapy
The American Cancer Society Recognizes
them. You can visit their site at
www.cancer.org for details
In any case of cancer, the treatment should start with therapies in
points 1, 2, 3 and 4 because they don't have side effects. Other
treatments have serious side effects. Then if there is not much benefit,
we can try Chemotherapy and radiotherapy too.
Dendritic cell
immunotherapy It is the
best way to prevent the spread of Cancer. This is because the spread of
cancer to other parts of the body is called Metastasis.
Metastasis is initiated first by a process called micro-metastasis which
is the movement of few cancer cells to other part of body.
Micro-metastasis are not detectable by any scan until they become a
large enough mass to be seen in a scan. Dendritic cell vaccine searches
and destroys cells of Micro-metastais. Existing cancer tumours are
visible by scan methods but new places of spread of cancer may not be
visible through powerful scanning methods like PET scan, MRI and CT but
they are easily identified by trained immune cells and destroyed.
Anti-angiogenesis therapy
It uses drugs or other substances to stop
tumors from making new blood vessels. For the tumor to go on growing, it
must have new blood vessels. Without new blood vessels, a tumor can't
grow larger than about the size of a pin head (about 1 to 2 cubic
millimeters).
These medicines are harmless and effectively stop or retard cancer
growth. Many patients given only this treatment have successfully been
treated and are now free of symptoms.
Phytochemicals like Ginsenoside, Cucermin and Lectins are given to stop
the rapid growth of blood vessels in cancer tumour.
This treatment is less expensive as compared to other treatments. It
costs about $200 for a 21 day course.
