Treatment Modalities

Hormone Therapy

Therapy that blocks hormones driving cancer growth. Used for hormone receptor-positive breast cancer and prostate cancer.

Immunotherapy

Treatment that harnesses the immune system to fight cancer. Includes checkpoint inhibitors, cytokines, and adoptive cell therapy.

IMRT

Integrative Oncology

Evidence-based complementary therapies (acupuncture, mind-body practices, nutrition) combined with conventional cancer care to support wellbeing.

Microwave Ablation

Minimally Invasive Surgery

Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic surgical techniques using small incisions. Reduces recovery time compared to open surgery.

Monoclonal Antibodies

NK Cell Therapy

Nutrition Support

Oncolytic Virus Therapy

Genetically engineered viruses that selectively replicate in and destroy cancer cells. T-VEC (talimogene laherparepvec) approved for melanoma.

Pain Management

Palliative Care

Specialized medical care focused on relieving symptoms and improving quality of life for patients with serious illness. Appropriate at any cancer stage.

Photodynamic Therapy

Proton Therapy

Advanced radiation using proton beams. Spares more healthy tissue than conventional photon therapy. Particularly valuable for pediatric cancers, brain tumors, and tumors near critical organs.

Psycho-Oncology

Radiofrequency Ablation

Image-guided ablation using radiofrequency energy to destroy small tumors. Used for liver, kidney, and lung tumors.

Radiopharmaceuticals

Targeted radioactive drugs delivering radiation directly to cancer cells. Includes Lu-177 DOTATATE for NETs and Lu-177 PSMA for prostate cancer.

Rehabilitation Oncology

Robotic Surgery

Computer-assisted surgical platform (e.g., da Vinci) enabling precise minimally invasive procedures, especially for prostate, gynecologic, and colorectal cancers.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

Precise high-dose radiation delivered in few fractions to small targets. Used for early-stage lung, liver, and prostate cancers and oligometastatic disease.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery

Single-fraction high-dose radiation for brain tumors. Delivered via Gamma Knife, CyberKnife, or LINAC platforms.

TACE

Transarterial Chemoembolization. Catheter-delivered chemotherapy plus embolization of the tumor's blood supply. Standard intermediate-stage HCC treatment.

TARE / Y-90

Transarterial Radioembolization with Yttrium-90 microspheres. Targeted internal radiation for primary and metastatic liver tumors.

Targeted Therapy

Drugs that target specific molecular alterations driving cancer growth. Includes tyrosine kinase inhibitors, PARP inhibitors, CDK4/6 inhibitors, and many others.
