Top Procedures and Treatments

Bone Marrow Transplant

Bone marrow transplant is a critical procedure for patients with certain blood disorders. By replacing damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells, this transplant can restore normal marrow function. It's essential in treating conditions like leukemia, lymphoma, and aplastic anemia. Advanced techniques ensure high compatibility and successful engraftment, minimizing the risk of complications. You undergo a series of pre-transplant tests to confirm suitability, followed by a regimen of chemotherapy or radiation to eradicate diseased cells. The transplanted cells then migrate to the bone marrow to produce new, healthy blood cells, potentially leading to a cure or significant remission.

CAR-T Cell Therapy

Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell (CARTT) Therapy is a revolutionary approach in treating certain types of cancers, particularly blood cancers. It involves reprogramming your T-cells, a kind of immune cell, to recognize and attack cancer cells. This personalized treatment is developed specifically for you by extracting your T-cells, genetically modifying them, and proliferating them in a lab before re-introducing them into your body. CARTT therapy has shown remarkable success, offering hope where other treatments have failed. It's a sophisticated procedure that requires diligent monitoring and management of potential side effects. 

Learn More
Target Cell Therapy

Target cell therapy focuses on precision in cancer treatment, attacking cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. By identifying specific markers on cancer cells, biologically-designed drugs can bind and disrupt cancer activity. This approach minimizes collateral damage to your normal cells, reducing side effects and enhancing quality of life. Target therapies are a boon for cancers that have specific genetic mutations, and they often play a crucial role when conventional therapies are ineffective. Regular monitoring ensures treatment is on track and adaptable to your changing needs. 

Learn More
Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy harnesses your immune system's power to fight cancer by either stimulating it to work harder or smarter, or by supplementing it with artificial proteins. This treatment is pivotal for cancers not responding to traditional treatments. Offering personalized treatment, immunotherapy targets your unique cancer markers, potentially reducing recurrence chances. Advances in this field have led to breakthrough therapies that exhibit better tolerability and efficacy. Your treatment plan is thoroughly outlined to include checks for side effects and consistent evaluation of progress. 

Learn More
HIPEC

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) is an innovative treatment combining surgery and heated chemotherapy. After tumor removal from your abdominal cavity, heated chemo is circulated directly, targeting remaining cancer cells. This method is crucial for peritoneal cancers, allowing higher drug concentrations with reduced systemic exposure. HIPEC requires meticulous surgical planning and post-operative care, enhancing treatment effectiveness and improving survival rates. It's a highly specialized treatment option that our experienced team is equipped to deliver. 

Learn More
Intrathecal Chemotherapy

Intrathecal chemotherapy involves delivering drugs directly into the spinal fluid, bypassing the blood-brain barrier, to manage cancers like leukemia and lymphomas that involve the central nervous system. This targeted approach helps prevent or treat cancer spread in areas traditional IV chemotherapy may not reach. You undergo precise dosing to avoid co-lateral damage while maximizing efficacy. This method is integral in comprehensive cancer care, requiring skilled administration and continuous monitoring by our expert team.

Diagnostics and Tests

PET Scan

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scan provides a detailed view of metabolic activity in your body, crucial for early detection and staging of cancers. PET scans evaluate how your tissues and organs are functioning, identifying abnormalities that may signal cancer's presence or progression. It's invaluable in both diagnosis and treatment monitoring, allowing us to tailor your treatment plan more effectively and assess your response to therapy.
