Cancer treatment aims to eliminate your cancer and give you an average life expectancy. Depending on your particular circumstances, this might or might not be doable. If a cure is not achievable, your treatments may reduce the size of the cancer or halt its growth to prolong your symptom-free living. Several people worldwide face the disease of cancer, and the sole thing that keeps them helping is their purpose of living. The will and power of such cancer survivors give people the sense of battling the disease. A classic example of this is the coveted cancer survivor Tauqeer Imran.
Tauqeer holds a doctorate, is an investor, and is an entrepreneur. In 2017, he was given a terminal diagnosis, which made him want to give up. But he resisted accepting his fate and opted for life.
He fought cancer against the odds after undergoing 12 rounds of chemotherapy, six rounds of radiation therapy, and numerous other operations. He is passionate about sharing this motivational story with others so they can find the fortitude to fight through their challenges with him as an experienced healthcare practitioner with first-hand experience. The will and fighting ability inspire millions to understand the significance of having cancer treated.
There are numerous cancer therapies available. Your cancer type and stage, overall health, and personal preferences are just a few variables that will affect your treatment options. You can assess the advantages and disadvantages of each cancer treatment with the help of your doctor to decide which is best for you.
Surgery
Surgery’s main objective is to remove the malignancy.
Chemotherapy.
Drugs are used in chemotherapy to kill cancer cells.
Radiation treatment
High-powered energy beams, such as X-rays or protons, are used in radiation therapy to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy can be administered internally (brachytherapy) or externally (external beam radiation) from a machine.
Transplant of bone marrow.
The substance inside your bones, called bone marrow, is where blood cells are created from blood stem cells. Your bone marrow stem cells, or those from a donor, can be used in a bone marrow transplant, often known as a stem cell transplant.
Immunotherapy
The biological therapy known as immunotherapy uses the immune system to treat cancer. Because your immune system does not see cancer as an outside invader, it can thrive unchecked inside your body. Your immune system can “see” the cancer and fight it with immunotherapy.
Hormone treatment.
Your body’s hormones can fuel certain cancers. Breast cancer and prostate cancer are two examples. It may be possible to inhibit the growth of cancer cells by eliminating those hormones from the body or blocking their effects.
Specific Pharmacological Therapy.
Targeted medication therapy focuses on specific cancer cell defects that enable cancer cells to survive.
Cryoablation
With this procedure, cancer cells are frozen to death. A slender, wand-like needle (cryoprobe) used in cryoablation is introduced into the malignant tumor through your skin. The cryoprobe is pumped with gas to freeze the tissue. The tissue is then given time to defrost. During the same therapy session, the freezing and thawing procedure is performed numerous times to destroy the cancer cells.
