New Developments in Chemotherapy

CHEMOTHERAPY IS PAINLESS NOW…..With the advent of new techniques like Chemoports and PICC Lines, we have eliminated  hazards like extravasation, thrombophlebitis and discolouration of veins and yes, chemotherapy can now be administered in a virtually painless way.

CHEMOTHRAPY IS MORE TOLRABLE NOW:-
With skilful and meticulous planning of premedication and post chemo prophylaxis, there are minimised chances of allergic reactions and post chemoneutropenia which otherwise have taken a toll of lives in the past.
NANO PARTICLE CHEMO : SMALLER IS BETTER
With the advent of newer technologies, so have we evolved by incorporating the best of science.# Nanoparticle Based Chemotherapy# New delivery vehicles bound chemotherapy agents – ensuring delivery at target site in higher concentration and at the same time, minimising systemic toxicity# 3rd Generation Molecules# Immunotherapy

• TARGETED THERAPY – AN EDGE OVER CONVENTIONAL CHEMOTHERAPY :-
• Unlike chemotherapy which kills both good and bad cells – targeted agents are used to target specific cancer cells, thus giving better results and less toxicity.
• 
  
• PERSONALISED CANCER   MEDICATION ? YOU READ  IT  RIGHT  TAILORED CHEMOTHARAPY FOR YOU  IS  POSSIBLE :-
• With advent of genetic testing, we are able to eliminate drug toxicity and predict familial trend. Also the prognostic and risk factors are well evaluated with Genetic testing.
• 
  
• MUTATION TESTING :- A  REALITY  TESTING  GOES  TECH  :-
• Yes,  sparing  chemotherapy   is  possible  now.
• Advanced mutation testing and gene testing help in predicting patients who may do as well or better with oral pills and thus saved from chemotherapy.
• 
  
• NOW REGIONAL CHEMOTHRAPY TOO :-
• Highly specialised regional chemotherapy with HIPEC and through Omaya reservoir has further strengthened our hands in combat against cancer.
