Our Chemotherapy Techniques: What Suits You Best?

When considering Chemotherapy, it’s important to understand the different techniques and which is best suited for you. Here’s a concise comparison of popular options:

Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC)

HIPEC involves delivering heated chemotherapy directly into the abdominal cavity to treat cancer.

Pros: HIPEC can target cancer cells more effectively within the abdomen compared to systemic chemotherapy. It has shown a 50% increase in survival rates for certain cancers.
Cons: This procedure may lead to more immediate side effects like abdominal pain and requires hospitalization for monitoring. Only suitable for cancers confined to the peritoneal cavity.
Effectiveness: 70% success rate in extending patient survival for specific peritoneal cancers.
Duration: 6-12 hours.
Recovery: 4-6 weeks.
Best for: Peritoneal carcinomatosis and abdominal tumors, especially those from colorectal and ovarian origins.

Chemotherapy for liver cancer

Involves the use of powerful drugs to target and destroy cancer cells in the liver, aiming to shrink tumors and prevent metastasis.

Pros: Provides systemic treatment, reaching cancer cells throughout the body. Effective in managing symptoms and improving quality of life for 40% of patients.
Cons: Associated with significant side effects like nausea and fatigue in 80% of cases. Less targeted compared to localized therapies like HIPEC.
Effectiveness: Achieves a tumor response rate of 20-30% in liver cancer cases.
Duration: Each session lasts 2-6 hours, repeated every 3 weeks.
Recovery: Initial recovery period of 1-2 months, with ongoing management of side effects.
Best for: Liver cancer patients with metastatic disease, requiring systemic treatment. Addresses tumor reduction and symptom management.

Chemotherapy for lung cancer

Chemo uses cancer drugs to kill or stop the growth of cancer cells in the lungs.

Pros: Effective in shrinking tumors and improving survival rates in 60% of cases. Can be used in combination with radiation therapy for better results.
Cons: Causes significant side effects like fatigue and nausea in 70% of patients. May not be suitable for those with existing health conditions.
Effectiveness: 60% success rate in tumor reduction.
Duration: Treatment sessions last 1-3 hours over several weeks.
Recovery: Recovery can take 4-6 weeks after the final session.
Best for: Targeting lung tumors and metastases in patients with stage 3 or 4 lung cancer.

Chemotherapy for breast cancer

Chemotherapy for breast cancer is a systemic treatment using drugs to destroy cancer cells in the body.

Pros: Effective in reducing tumor size before surgery, with a success rate of up to 70%. Can be combined with other therapies for better outcomes.
Cons: May cause significant side effects like hair loss and fatigue in 60% of patients. Requires multiple sessions over several months.
Effectiveness: Achieves a complete response in approximately 30% of patients.
Duration: 1-3 hours per session, repeated every 3 weeks over 3-6 months.
