Chemotherapy is a mainstay therapy in the speciality of Cancer Care and Oncology. It encompasses the administration of powerful drugs to kill the cancer cells.

Cancer that affects the bone marrow where blood cells are produced or other parts of the immune system like lymph nodes are called blood cancer. Over 50,000 people in Rangapani, Siliguri are diagnosed with leukaemia (blood cancer) and about 3.7% of fresh cases are reported every year.
The stomach lies on the left side of the upper abdomen. When we eat, food passes down the food pipe (esophagus) into the stomach. It makes acid and some chemicals (enzymes) that help to digest food. The muscles in the wall of the stomach tighten (contract) to mix the food and force it to pass into the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). Cancer…
A core biopsy is a procedure where a needle is passed through the skin to obtain a sample of tissue from a mass or lump. The tissue sample is then examined under a microscope for any abnormalities.
Biological Therapy, also known as Immunotherapy, uses the body’s defence system to fight against infections. Any living organism or substance derived from them is used to stimulate or restore the immune system function. They are especially useful in managing cancers, including melanoma, lung cancer, and some of the leukaemias, by increasing survival…
Intracavitary chemotherapy involves the injecting of chemotherapy through a tube (catheter), directly into a body cavity. It gives a very high dose of chemotherapy to the tumour, but only a very low dose to the rest of the body. Intracavitary chemotherapy can be injected into the bladder – intravesical, the abdominal cavity – intra peritoneal, or the…
Day care chemotherapy is extended to those patients who have been advised short therapies or cancer procedures that do not require a night stay in hospital. Domiciliary chemotherapy involves making chemotherapy services available to cancer patients in their homes. This is mostly for the elderly who cannot reach the hospital for chemotherapy sessions.
In some cancer patients, chemotherapy is safely delivered through a standard (or “peripheral”) IV line. Other times, infusions must be administered through a central line catheter, such as a PICC, CVC or port.
Palliative care is the holistic approach to cancer care that addresses the patient as a whole, not just their disease. It also means learning to manage the cancer symptoms and side effects.
Counseling is an integral element of oncology treatment. A counselor is trained to listen to the patient and the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual problems that he or she might face
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), also referred to as Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR), is a precise cancer treatment that delivers high levels of radiation to tumours using sub-millimetre accuracy. SBRT is a type of external beam radiation therapy that targets tumours using computer-guided technology and sophisticated imaging. SBRT…
3D-CRT, involves creating 3-D computer images and delivering highly focused radiation to tumors while sparing nearby healthy tissue. 3D-CRT is a type of external beam radiation therapy (EBRT), which is the most common radiation treatment used for cancer of the inner lining of the chest or lungs.
The smart arc machine is designed to provide the tools to create rotational intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans using a conventional linear accelerator and a conventional multileaf collimator (MLC). Plans are delivered while the gantry rotates around the patient. The intensity of the radiation is modulated and the shape of the beam is…
Brachytherapy involves placing radioactive material inside your body. Brachytherapy is one type of radiation therapy that's used to treat cancer and is sometimes called internal radiation. Brachyvision is a complete 3D treatment planning system that introduces a new paradigm of patient-centric, image-based planning.
IGRT is one of the most advanced innovations in cancer technology available. It uses advanced 2D and 3D imaging to ensure that the positioning of the tumor will match the dose delivery on this state of the art machine. Since tumors can move during treatment because of the patient’s breathing, IGRT allows doctors to locate and track the tumor during…
IMRT is an advanced mode of high-precision radiotherapy that uses computer-controlled linear accelerators to deliver precise radiation doses to a malignant tumor or specific areas within the tumor.
The VMAT is a unique radiation therapy technique that delivers the radiation dose continuously as the machine rotates. Why choose Manipal
Brachytherapy treatment involves placing radioactive sources such as a catheter, needle or applicator into a device called an interstitial implant. This device is then inserted into the vagina, uterus or body tissues. The interstitial implant is surgically placed into your pelvis first.
Intracavitary Radiotherapy (ICRT) is one of the main types of Brachytherapy, where a small radioactive source is placed inside a body cavity. This allows doctors to deliver high doses of radiation directly to the tumour, while protecting nearby healthy tissues. At Manipal Hospitals, we use advanced techniques and personalised care plans to perform…
IGB uses advanced imaging techniques to make brachytherapy more precise, safe, and effective. Brachytherapy is done through four phases that include the placement of hollow catheters or hollow carriers, CT or MRI imaging of the site, computer calculations of the dose distribution, and robotic radiation treatment.
In women who have undergone breast surgery which involved mastectomy or the removal of the breast, breast reconstruction is the best option. Breast reconstruction is to reform or reshape one or both breasts after a mastectomy, or even lumpectomy where the affected portion of the breast is cut away.
The mammogram or an X-ray of the breast is the most effective screening tool for breast cancer. It can detect breast cancer up to two years before the tumor can be felt by you or your doctor. Women aged 40 - 45 or older, or those at average risk of breast cancer should undergo a mammogram annually.
Oncoplastic surgery is a technique that improves cosmetic outcomes in breast cancer patients. Onco plastic surgeons combine breast cancer tumor removal (a lumpectomy or partial mastectomy) and plastic surgery techniques (reconstructive surgery) at the same time of breast conservation surgery.
This involves removing the tumor and some normal tissue around it but not the breast itself. Some lymph nodes under the arm may be removed as well as a part of the chest wall lining if the tumor is near it.
In complex head and neck cancers, patients tend to lose parts of their facial features to cancerous growth. Micro vascular reconstruction of the face and neck region is the only solution. This highly advanced surgical technique to rebuild the face and neck uses the blood vessels, bone, tissue, as well as muscle and skin from other parts of the body.…

Cancer can give several warning signs, which include:
Unusual bleeding or discharge
Changes in bowel and bladder habits
Indigestion or difficulty swallowing
A sore that does not heal
Cough or hoarseness
Difficulty swallowing or indigestion
A lump in the region
Cancer can occur due to several reasons. In most cases, cancer occurs sporadically due to random genetic mutations that accumulate over time. This can be due to ageing. It can also happen due to environmental and lifestyle risk factors, such as
Smoking
Prolonged exposure to radiation or chemicals
Poor diet and lack of physical activity
Excessive consumption of alcohol
Chronic infections that can increase cancer risk
Hormones like oestrogen, lead to uterine cancers
Not all cancers are preventable; however, by altering some lifestyle habits, you can lower your risk of a cancer diagnosis.
Quit smoking, as it is most often linked to cancer development
A healthy and plant-based diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains lowers your cancer risk
Exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes a day
Limit alcohol, as it is linked to several types of cancer
Protect your skin from skin cancer by using SPF protection
Since Chemotherapy is a powerful treatment, there are some side effects, which include:
Persistent tiredness or fatigue even after taking rest
Complete loss of hair or thinning
Nausea and vomiting
Increased risk of infections due to weak immunity
Tingling or numbness in hands and feet
