Cancer Treatment Options in India

1. Cancer Surgery

Cancer surgery involves removing the tumour or cancerous tissue and is commonly used for many solid tumours that are localized to a particular area. Depending on the cancer, surgery may be used alone or combined with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy.

2. Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer medicines to destroy cancer cells or stop their growth. It may be used before surgery, after surgery, together with radiation therapy, or for advanced cancer depending on the diagnosis and treatment objective.

3. Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy uses high doses of radiation to damage cancer cells and shrink tumours. It may be used as the primary treatment for certain cancers or combined with surgery, chemotherapy or other systemic treatments.

4. Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy helps the body’s immune system recognize and fight cancer. It is used for selected cancers and patients based on factors such as cancer type, stage and relevant biomarkers.

5. Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy focuses on specific molecular changes or proteins that help cancer cells grow and survive. Biomarker or molecular testing may help doctors determine whether a targeted treatment could be appropriate

6. Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy may be used for certain hormone-sensitive cancers, particularly some breast and prostate cancers. It works by blocking hormones or reducing their effect on cancer cells

7. Bone Marrow / Stem Cell Transplant

Bone marrow or blood stem cell transplantation may be used for selected blood cancers and other conditions. Treatment eligibility depends on the patient’s diagnosis, disease status and overall health.

8. CAR-T Cell Therapy

CAR-T cell therapy is an advanced cellular treatment available for selected patients and specific cancers at specialized centres. Eligibility depends on the cancer type, previous treatments and institutional protocols.
