Interventional Therapy is a new substitute of traditional chemotherapy, which means that a physician introduces instruments such as needles or catheters (long, thin tubes) into the body through tiny(1-2 mm) incisions in the skin. The instruments are then guided by an imaging technique called fluoroscopy to the cancer tumor. In this way, the physician can deliver cancer medicine directly to the tumor.[ Read More ]

Particle knife (also called 125I Seed Implantation) is a new substitute of traditional radiation therapy. With the help of computer Treatment Planning System (TPS), radioactive particles will be implanted into tumors. The particles which release γ-rays can continuously kill tumor and cause destruction targeting tumor cells. With time, the radiation amount would accumulate to be large enough to destroy the DNA double strands of tumor cells.[ Read More ]

Cryosurgery Therapy, also known as "Argon-Helium Knife Cryotherapy", is a new substitute of traditional physical therapy. Practically speaking it is "extreme cold + extreme heat" cancer treatment. Generally, a minimum of 10-15 minutes is required to achieve an extreme analgesic (pain relieving) effect while lowering the temperature to the injured area, thus reducing the metabolic rate and swelling associated with tissue injury.[ Read More ]

Biological therapy (also called Immunotherapy) uses the body's immune system to fight cancer. The cells, antibodies, and organs of the immune system work to protect and defend the body against foreign invaders, such as bacteria or viruses. Physicians in MCHG have found that the immune system might also be able to both determine the difference between healthy cells and cancer cells in the body, and to eliminate the cancer cells.[ Read More ]

Photon Knife is also named Three Dimensional Conformal Radiotherapy - Multiple Fields, Non-coplane, and Conformal Therapy. Photon Knife is a technique that radiation beams used in treatment are shaped to match the tumor. Previously, radiation treatment matches the height and width of the tumor, meaning that healthy tissue was also exposed to the beams. Now advanced imaging technology has made it possible to locate and treat tumors precisely.[ Read More ]

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT) is a treatment that uses a drug, called a photosensitizer or photosensitizing agent, and a particular type of light. When photosensitizers are exposed to a specific wavelength of light, they produce a form of oxygen that kills nearby cells. Each photosensitizer is activated by light of a specific wavelength，which determines how far the light can travel into the body. Thus, doctors can use them to treat different areas of the body.[ Read More ]

Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) involves applying heat to certain nerve pathways to "shut off" the transmission of pain signals to the brain. It is performed on an outpatient basis and requires only local anesthetic and mild sedation, alleviating the possible complications of open surgery and general anesthesia. It has a high success rate low complication rate.[ Read More ]

A new secret weapon to kill breast cancer cells by roasting has been widely used. It kills breast cancer cells in a very short time with high-intensity focused ultrasound. During the treatment, patients do not need anesthesia or surgery and won’t suffer any skin burn. Thermal therapy is an advanced treatment for breast cancer.[ Read More ]

Targeted Therapy is to research and choose medications according to different types of gene mutation. It reduces the side effect of drugs on human body. Gene Therapy is a supplementary therapy which replaces cancer genes by normal genes. It aims at the root of tumors. In MCHG, we use Targeted Gene Therapy to treat cancer from its fundamental level.[ Read More ]

Positron emission tomography, also called PET imaging or a PET scan, is a kind of nuclear medicine imaging. PET scan measures important body functions, such as blood flow, oxygen use, and sugar (glucose) metabolism to help doctors evaluate how well organs and tissues are functioning.[ Read More ]

Nanoknife is the latest, most advanced cancer treatment. Nanoknife is suitable for pancreatic cancer treatment, which can raise the survival rate to more than 2 times for them.[ Read More ]

In microwave ablation, a probe will be inserted into tumors, and micro electromagnetic waves will be released to destroy and ablate the cancerous tissues directly. Targeting clearly and affecting intensely on the tumor, MWA won’t produce obvious side effects to normal tissues.[ Read More ]
