Cancer Treatment in Raipur

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy uses medicines that destroy rapidly dividing cells. It may be given before surgery to shrink a tumour, after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence, or as the main treatment in advanced disease. Cycles are usually given every two to three weeks in a day-care setting, with blood counts checked before each cycle.

Immunotherapy and targeted therapy

Immunotherapy helps the body's own immune system recognise cancer cells, and is used in selected lung, kidney, bladder, head and neck and other cancers where testing supports it. Targeted therapy blocks a specific molecular change inside the tumour — for example EGFR or ALK in lung cancer, or HER2 in breast cancer — and is only prescribed when the relevant test is positive.

Hormonal therapy

Hormone-sensitive cancers, mainly breast and prostate cancer, respond to medicines that lower hormone levels or block hormone receptors. These are usually oral tablets or periodic injections taken over several years, with monitoring of bone health and other side effects.

Bone marrow transplant

For selected blood cancers such as multiple myeloma, leukaemia and some lymphomas, a bone marrow or stem cell transplant can offer longer disease control than chemotherapy alone. Eligibility depends on age, organ function, disease response and donor availability, and is assessed carefully before the transplant pathway begins.

Precision oncology and molecular testing

Where it can change the treatment decision, tumour tissue or blood is tested for specific mutations and biomarkers. This avoids drugs that are unlikely to work and identifies patients who will benefit from newer targeted or immune therapies.

Supportive and palliative care

Nausea, low blood counts, infection risk, mouth ulcers, fatigue and pain are managed alongside the main treatment, not afterwards. For advanced disease, symptom control and quality of life are treated as goals in their own right, with pain and palliative care support available at the clinic.
