Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy or radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses a high dose or intensity of radiation to stop the growth and multiplication of cancer cells or kill them. It uses high-energy particles, x-rays, gamma rays, and proton or electron beam therapy to destroy cancer cells. Learn More

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is one of the primary treatment options to kill or disrupt cancer cells and prevent their spread. Chemotherapeutic drugs are of different types and can act on actively dividing cancer cells. This treatment may be given alone or combined with other treatments like surgery or radiation therapy.

Laser Interstitial Treatment

Laser Interstitial Thermal Therapy (LITT) is a minimally-invasive treatment option for people with brain tumours, epilepsy and other neurological disorders. LITT is also called laser ablation and uses an MRI-guided laser probe to deliver heat to the lesion and destroy the harmful cells. Learn More

NanoKnife

Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to target specific proteins in a tumour and affect how cancer cells grow, divide and multiply. It is a type of precision cancer treatment that is personalised for each patient. Learn More

Proton-Beam-Therapy.png

Proton Beam Therapy

Proton beam therapy is a high-precision radiation treatment used to treat cancers. Compared to radiation therapy, which uses x-rays to kill cancer cells, proton beam therapy uses positively charged particles called protons. Learn More

Gamma-Knife.png

Gamma Knife

Gamma Knife® is a type of stereotactic radiosurgery used to treat brain and spine tumours. Radiosurgery is a technique that uses the effectiveness of open brain surgery with the non-invasive nature of high-dose radiation to kill cancer cells with minimal damage to healthy tissues. Learn More

CyberKnife

CyberKnife is a non-invasive, painless, and one of the most advanced radiation therapy forms that provide precise and targeted radiation beams to kill cancer cells. It is used to provide accurate and effective treatment for benign and malignant tumours anywhere in the body. Learn More

Immunotherapy.png

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is an advanced treatment that uses this immune system to fight cancer. It is a type of biological therapy and can be of different types– monoclonal antibodies (targeted therapy), immune checkpoint inhibitors, oncolytic virus therapy, T-cell therapy and cancer vaccines. Learn More

Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses drugs to target specific proteins in a tumour and affect how cancer cells grow, divide and multiply. It is a type of precision cancer treatment that is personalised for each patient. Learn More

Photodynamic-Therapy.png

Photodynamic Therapy

This treatment uses light-activated drugs called photosensitising agents to kill cancer cells. Lasers or other sources like LEDs are the preferred light source. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) allows small areas of abnormal cell growth or tumours to be treated precisely. Learn More
