Gynaecological Cancer

Surgery is often the first line of treatment for gynaecological cancers, aiming to remove the cancerous tissues or tumors. The extent of the surgery depends on the type and stage of the cancer. Procedures may range from minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries to more extensive operations like hysterectomy or oophorectomy. For early-stage cancers, surgery might be sufficient to achieve a cure. In advanced stages, surgery may be combined with other treatments such as chemotherapy or radiation to enhance outcomes. Our expert surgical team at Cancer Care 24 ensures precision and care in every procedure to maximize recovery and success.

Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. It can be administered externally (external beam radiation) or internally (brachytherapy). This treatment is often used in conjunction with surgery or chemotherapy, depending on the cancer’s stage and location. Radiation therapy helps shrink tumors before surgery or eradicate remaining cancer cells post-surgery. It can also be a primary treatment for patients who cannot undergo surgery. At Cancer Care 24, we utilize advanced radiation technology to deliver precise treatments, minimizing side effects and protecting healthy tissues.

Chemotherapy involves the use of powerful drugs to kill cancer cells or stop them from growing and dividing. It can be given orally, intravenously, or directly into the affected area. Chemotherapy is often used for advanced gynaecological cancers or when cancer has spread to other parts of the body. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments like surgery or radiation therapy. The specific regimen and duration of chemotherapy depend on the type and stage of cancer. Our oncology team at Cancer Care 24 carefully designs personalized chemotherapy plans to maximize effectiveness while managing side effects.

Preventing gynaecological cancers involves a combination of lifestyle choices and medical interventions. Regular screening and Pap tests are crucial for early detection of cervical cancer. Vaccination against HPV significantly reduces the risk of cervical and other related cancers. Maintaining a healthy weight, practicing safe sex, and limiting hormone replacement therapy can also lower the risk. Awareness of family history and genetic counseling can help in understanding personal risk factors. At Cancer Care 24, we emphasize preventive measures and educate our patients on the importance of regular check-ups and healthy lifestyle practices to reduce the risk of gynaecological cancers.
