Procedures of Oncology

(Acute Leukemia)-Allogenic stem cell transplantation

Allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is a procedure to treat the patients with stem cells (blood-forming cells) from a genetically-similar donor. These procedures are highly successful in treating certain blood cancers.

Abdominoperineal Resection

Abdominoperineal resection is a surgical procedure performed for treating the cancer of the rectum, or in the case of any injuries to the rectum. The surgery is an elective procedure and involves the removal of the rectum, anus, and the sigmoid colon.

BMT - Lymphoma – Autologous

Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer. An autologous bone marrow transplant is the procedure used to treat lymphoma; it involves the removal of stem cells from self before undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. The harvested stem cells are frozen. Following the high-dose chemotherapy or radiation therapy, the stem cells are transplanted back into the body.

BMT - Multiple Myeloma Autologous

Bone marrow transplant Autologous is a procedure performed for the treatment of multiple myelomas. The stem cells are obtained from the self-bone marrow of the patient and re-administer it back to the patient for the formation of new stem cells.

Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy is an advanced cancer treatment that involves insertion of radioactive sources into the tumor with a high radiation dose. It damages cancer cells and slows down or stops the ability of cancer cells to divide and grow. Brachytherapy is used to treat the cancers throughout the body.

Brain cancer treatment
