Introduction
Cancer is a serious health issue affecting millions worldwide. However, significant advancements in early diagnosis, advanced treatment methods, and multidisciplinary approaches have greatly improved cancer care. Acıbadem Hospitals aim to achieve the best outcomes by offering personalized treatment options such as surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, radiotherapy, and supportive care tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
This article details the most effective cancer treatment methods available today and the advanced oncology services provided by Acıbadem Hospitals.
Main Methods of Cancer Treatment
1. Surgery: The Cornerstone of Cancer Treatment
Surgery is one of the most commonly used methods, especially for solid tumors. The goal is to completely remove the cancerous tissue while preserving the patient’s quality of life.
✅ Curative Surgery: Complete removal of the cancer.
✅ Debulking Surgery: Reducing the tumor size to facilitate further treatments.
✅ Minimally Invasive & Robotic Surgery: Ensuring more precise procedures with faster recovery.
✅ Palliative Surgery: Improving the patient’s quality of life through symptom management.
Acıbadem Hospitals increase success rates in cancer treatment through robotic and minimally invasive surgical techniques.
2. Systemic Therapy: Targeting Cancer at the Cellular Level
Systemic therapies are drug-based treatments that circulate throughout the body to destroy or inhibit the growth of cancer cells.
✅ Chemotherapy: Targets rapidly dividing cancer cells.
✅ Targeted Therapy: Uses specialized drugs to attack specific genetic mutations in cancer cells (e.g., Trastuzumab for HER2-positive breast cancer).
✅ Immunotherapy: Enhances the immune system's ability to fight cancer cells.
✅ Hormone Therapy: Blocks hormones to slow tumor growth, especially in breast and prostate cancers.
Each patient’s treatment plan is customized based on their genetic profile to ensure the most effective therapy.
3. Radiotherapy: Precision Targeting to Destroy Cancer Cells
Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation to shrink or eliminate cancer cells. Acıbadem Hospitals utilize advanced radiotherapy technologies such as CyberKnife, Gamma Knife, and MR Linac for the most effective treatment options.
✅ External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT): Directs radiation from outside the body to the tumor.
✅ Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): Precisely targets tumors with high-dose radiation.
✅ Brachytherapy: Delivers radiation internally to the tumor site.
✅ Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT): Applied during surgery to reduce additional treatment sessions.
These techniques effectively target cancer while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
4. Nuclear Medicine and Advanced Diagnostic Methods
Accurate diagnosis is critical for effective treatment. Acıbadem Hospitals utilize the latest nuclear medicine and imaging technologies:
✅ PET-CT: Advanced imaging to detect cancer in its early stages.
✅ MRI & 3D Tomosynthesis Mammography: High-precision imaging for breast cancer diagnosis.
✅ Liquid Biopsy & Genetic Testing: Identifies cancer’s genetic characteristics to develop personalized treatment plans.
These state-of-the-art diagnostic tools help determine the most effective treatment based on cancer type.
