Small Trauma, Accurately Kill Cancer Cells

Interventional therapy is a minimally invasive therapy under the guidance of medical image equipment. It is divided into two parts: anticancer drugs injection and transarterial embolization. Anticancer drugs are injected to accurate tumors and the drugs concentration increases 2-8 times to kill cancer cell effectively without damage to normal tissues. Transarterial embolization is to cut off the tumor blood vessels so that the tumor dies out of blood supply. Patients who undergo this therapy do not need to have invasive surgery but just open 0.5-1.0mm incision in the blood vessel and skin. It causes only small trauma but can kill cancer cells accurately.

Radiotherapy will kill both cancer cells and normal cells at the same time, which damages patient’s immune system. So, radiotherapy has great limitation.

Few Side Effects, Targeting to Kill Cancer Cells

Targeted gene therapy is using corresponding medicines against the specific carcinogenic sites (those sites could be a protein molecule or a genetic segment in tumor cells). The medicine would take effect by specially combining carcinogenic sites after entering human body, thus tumor cells would die specifically without affecting normal cells around. Briefly, targeted gene therapy aims at a specific gene and then eliminating it. Targeted gene therapy is against disease roots: abnormal genes, this is the fundamental solution for cancer.

Minimize Side Effects, Maximize Therapy Efficacy

Chemotherapy is a milestone in cancer treatments. It applies chemo drugs to kill tumor cells, suppresses the growth and proliferation of cancer cells. It is currently considered as a main therapy for cancer; however, conventional chemotherapy can result in decreased immunity and normal tissue cells damage. Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou modified conventional chemotherapy with means, minimizing its side effects while maximizing the efficacy, which is believed to be a new chemical weapon to treat cancer. With the advantages of reducing side effects greatly, those chemotherapies applied in the hospital are considered as green chemotherapies.
