At CMCS Health, we offer cost-effective HIFU treatment with the best and most experienced Indian prostate cancer specialists for medical travelers, seeking prostate cancer treatment in India.

HIFU for prostate cancer treatment in India.

What is HIFU:

HIFU ( high intensity focused ultrasound ) is a novel nonsurgical procedure approved by the US FDA for the treatment of localized and non metastatic prostate cancer. In the HIFU procedure, multiple ultrasound waves are produced at a higher intensity and in a highly focused form aimed at cancerous tissues in the prostate gland.

Which patient are ideal for HIFU treatment for prostate cancer :

Those patients who have a smaller prostate gland and in whom cancer is localized and not metastatic are the best suited for HIFU treatment for prostate cancer.

HIFU can also be used as an alternative or follow-up treatment for those patients where other treatments like surgery or radiation therapy have failed and the tumor is confined to a small area of the prostate gland.

Advantages of HIFU for prostate cancer treatment :

  • It does not include surgery or radiation therapy
  • Focal HIFU can treat smaller prostate cancerous tissues without harming surrounding healthy tissues, muscles, and nerves
  • It is an outpatient ( OPD ) procedure with no hospital stay, the patient can return the home same day and start his work and other activities within 24 hours of the procedure.

Brachytherapy for prostate cancer.

Brachytherapy is a form of radiotherapy ( cancer treatment ) where radioactive elements are sealed inside a seed , capsule , pellet or wire and are put implanted inside the body of a cancer patient by using either a needle or a catheter. At CMCS Health , we are associated with Best Indian radiation oncologist , who are well experienced in brachytherapy for prostate cancer treatment in India.

Brachytherapy is universally accepted prostate cancer treatment worldwide. It is used as monotherapy for men with early stage prostate cancer and also for some intermediate risk prostate cancers and in combination with intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) for men with larger prostate cancers.

The advantage of brachytherapy in prostate cancer treatment is that radioactive material implant allows a higher dose of radiation given to limited area and thus minimizing the damage to surrounding healthy tissues.

In Brachytherapy for prostate cancer treatment in India , a radiation oncologist places the encapsulated radioactive substance directly on tumor or surrounding tissues with the help of a needle or catheter. The duration of radioactive implant in body of patient depends on location of cancer , stage of cancer and overall health of patient. CT Scans and Ultrasound during the brachytherapy helps the radiation oncologist in placing the encapsulated radioactive material precisely on tumor or nearby tissues.

Brachytherapy for prostate cancer are usually given as either low dose rate ( LDR ) brachytherapy or high dose rate ( HDR ) brachytherapy.

Brachytherapy for prostate cancer , if done by a well experienced radiation oncologist and after proper evaluation of the size and stage of tumor is found to be as effective as conventional external beam radiation therapy and in some cases even surgery .

Brachytherapy is very useful for those prostate cancer patient where the cancer is localized and has not metastasized. In some cases brachytherapy is combined with external-beam radiation therapy, including stereotactic body radiation therapy, to get the best results.

Other types of radiation therapy for prostate cancer treatment in India :

  • External beam radiation therapy ( EBRT )
  • Three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy ( 3D-CRT)
  • intensity modulated radiation therapy ( IMRT )
  • Image guided radiation therapy ( IGRT )
  • Volumetric modulated arc therapy ( VMAT )
  • Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) also known as gamma knife or cyberKnife

At CMCS Health , we are associated with best Indian cervical cancer treatment specialists for cervical cancer treatment in India | Onco-Surgery , at Best Indian hospitals for cancer treatment , for global medical travelers.

Cervical cancer treatment in India - CMCS Health.

Cervical cancer usually start as abnormal changes in tissues of cervix . In majority of cases , it is Human Papillomavirus infection that is responsible for these abnormal changes. The cells which undergo these abnormal changes are called atypical cells. Some of the atypical cells go away without treatment, but others can become cancerous.

PAP smear and HPV screening for women at risk of developing cervical cancer plays an important role in early diagnosis of Cervical cancer or CA cervix.

Cervical cancer treatment in India | Onco-Surgery

Cervical cancer treatment in India depends on stage of cancer , overall health of patient and personal preference of patient( If the patient wants to bear a child in future) .

As most of the cancers , Surgery is the gold standard for early stage and localized cervical cancers.

We are offering following surgical procedures for cervical cancer treatment in India .

Conization :

Conization is surgery for excision of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. It involves removing a cone-shaped piece of tissue from the cervix.

LEEP or LEETZ :

Leep or Leetz involve removing microinvasive cervical cancer tissues with a thin wire hook heated by electricity.

Hysterectomy:

Hysterectomy is removal of uterus along with cervix. Vagina and pelvic lymph nodes are left as well as ovaries , unless and until there is another reason to remove them.

Hysterectomy can be classified as simple hysterectomy ( removal of uterus along with cervix ) , radical hysterectomy ( removal of uterus with surrounding tissues , cervix and upper part of vagina connected to cervix and some lymph nodes ) and modified radical hysterectomy.

There are different ways for doing the hysterotomy in a patient.

  • Abdominal Hysterectomy is done through a surgical incision in the front of abdomen. Abdominal hysterectomy may require hospitalization of 3 to 4 days and complete recovery takes almost 4 to 5 weeks.
  • Vaginal hysterectomy involves removing the uterus through the vagina.
  • Laparoscopic hysterectomy is done with the help of a laparoscope and small incision or cut as compared to open hysterotomy and uterus is removed through a small cut in vagina. Both Vaginal hysterectomy and laparoscopic hysterectomy require 1 to 2 days of hospital stay and 2 to 3 weeks in complete recovery.
  • Robot assisted hysterectomy is done with the help of a robot for more precise surgery.

Bilateral salpingo oophorectomy :

Bilateral salpingo oophorectomy is a surgery involving both the ovaries along with both the Fallopian tubes.It is done along with hysterotomy.

Radical trachelectomy :

Radical trachelectomy has become an acceptable alternative to a hysterectomy for younger patients who want to bear a child in future. It involves removal of the cervix and the upper part of the vagina but not the body of the uterus , the nearby lymph nodes are also removed using laparoscopy.

After radical trachelectomy some women are able to carry a term pregnancy and deliver a healthy child through C-section.

Pelvic exenteration :

Exenteration removal of the uterus, vagina, lower colon, rectum, or bladder if cervical cancer has spread to these organs after radiation therapy . It is rarely done and not recommended but used only for those cervical cancer patients whose cancer has come back after radiation treatment.

At Fortis memorial research Institute , We offer a comprehensive treatment for cervical cancer in collaboration with Medical oncology specialists ( Chemotherapy , targeted drug therapy and immunotherapy ) and Radiation oncology specialists ( radiation therapy ).

Thalassemia treatment | BMT

Thalassemia Treatment in India | BMT

Thalassemia treatment in India | BMT

Thalassemia Treatment in India| BMT

Thalassemia is a genetic disorder which affects the hemoglobin in a patient. The conservative treatment consists of recurrent blood transfusions.These recurrent blood transfusion may cause iron overload in the patient and subsequently bone deformity,liver damage and other health complications follow. Bone marrow transplant is considered a viable treatment option for pediatrics thalassemic patients.At CMCS Health, we offer Child Thalassemia treatment In India | BMT in India ,with the best specialist Indian medical doctors at well equipped and well managed treatment centers and hospitals at an affordable and reasonable cost with very good success rates.

What is Thalassemia?

Thalassemia is a medical condition in which the affected person's body produces abnormal hemoglobin. This abnormal hemoglobin gets the excessive and premature destruction of RBCs subsequently causing anemia in the affected person. A person with thalassemia may require frequent blood transfusions depending upon type and severity. We offer comprehensive thalassemia treatment in India | BMT .

What are the causes of Thalassemia?

Thalassemia is a mutation in genes responsible for hemoglobin production. It is a genetic or hereditary disorder, which means the disease is passed on to the patient by the parents who are the carrier of the disorder.

What are the Types of Thalassemia?

Thalassemia can be broadly classified as Alpha and Beta Thalassemia. There are many subtypes of Thalassemia.

Understanding Thalassemia:

Hemoglobin molecules are made up of Alpha and Beta parts. Both Alpha and Beta parts are prone to genetic mutations.

Alpha Thalassemia :

Alpha Thalassemia is more common among the south east Asians , south china,India, Africa and middle eastern countries.

Four Genes are involved in formation of Alpha Hemoglobin chain. A child will acquire two each from both father and mother.

One mutated gene either from father or mother out of the four genes,causes either no symptoms or mild symptoms in child,the child will grow as healthy human being but will be called a silent carrier of Alpha Thalassemia.

Two mutated genes either from father or mother,the symptoms will be mild in child, such a thalassemia is called Alpha thalassemia minor.

Three mutated genes will cause moderate to severe anemia in child. The child will have chronic anemia and will require regular blood transfusions throughout his/her life.This medical condition is also referred as Hemoglobin H disease.

Mutation in all four genes is called Alpha Thalassemia major or Bart hydrops fetalis. Fetuses with mutations in all four genes do not survive or die shortly after birth. Blood transfusion given to fetus with four gene mutations rarely works and have very low success rates.

Beta Thalassemia:

Beta Thalassemia is more common among the people of Mediterranean region. The prevalence is high in North Africa and west asia. Substantial population in Maldives and certain islands in Indian ocean are the careers.

Two genes one each from the father and mother constitutes Beta hemoglobin chain.

One gene mutation causes mild symptoms and are referred as Beta Thalassemia minor.

If both the genes have mutation, the signs and symptoms may vary from moderate to severe.The affected condition is called Cooley's Anemia or Beta Thalassemia Major. Babies born with mutations in both genes are usually born as healthy child but develops complications of thalassemia within two years of birth.Another form of Beta Thalassemia with both genes mutation but with milder symptoms is called Beta Thalassemia Intermedia.

What are signs and symptoms of Thalassemia?

The signs and symptoms of thalassemia depends on it's type.

Signs and Symptoms of Alpha-Thalassemia:

Majority of children with Alpha-Thalassemia or Hemoglobin-H disease are healthy in general.Symptoms may vary from mild to moderate anemia,Fatigue,drowsiness,pale skin or jaundice,abnormally cold hand and feet ,chest pain,frequent headaches,shortness of breath, dizziness and feeling of impending being faint.enlarged spleen and possibly soft to touch and enlarged liver,they may also have deformity of bones,forehead,cheeks ans jaw may overgrow.

Signs and Symptoms of Beta Thalassemia:

Signs and symptoms of Beta Thalassemia ( thalassemia major or Cooley's anemia ) is generally severe and patient may require regular blood transfusions, the symptoms may include jaundice, frequent infections,cold hand and feet,shortness of breath,a general feeling of malice and being tired,poor appetite,skeletal deformity,delayed growth and delayed puberty,iron overload in body that can harm spleen,heart and liver.

How Thalassemia is diagnosed

Different diagnostics tests are recommended by treating doctor,if he/she suspects the patient to have Thalassemia.

  • Complete Blood Count ( CBC) is recommended for hemoglobin levels,as thalassemia patients usually have lower hemoglobin.
  • Microscopic examination: is conducted to ascertain any abnormality in RBCs,Thalassemia patients RBCs are smaller in size as compared to an unaffected person.RBCs with uneven hemoglobin distribution,that gives Bull's eye appearance under the microscope.
  • A reticulocyte Count is done to ascertain how fast RBCs are formed by the bone marrow and released in blood.
  • Hemoglobin electrophoresis separates different molecules in RBCs,allowing identification of abnormal RBCs.
  • DNA Analysis  is done to diagnose thalassemia or to ascertain if the person is carrier of mutated hemoglobin gene cells.
  • Iron tests in blood  are done to ascertain if the patient's anemia is because of thalassemia or iron deficiency,as thalassemic patient's do not have Iron deficiency.
  • Physical examination is conducted to ascertain enlarged spleen.

    Thalassemia Treatment in India|BMT

Treatment for moderate to severe thalassemia may involve frequent blood transfusions.Frequent blood transfusions may cause iron overload in patient's body which in longer run may damage spleen,heart and liver.

Iron Chelation is removal of excess iron from the blood. Patients may be prescribed subcutaneous injections of deferoxamine or oral deferasirox.

Bone Marrow or Stem Cell transplant is a better treatment option for Thalassemia. Chemotherapy cycles given to the patient prior to BMT for destroying abnormal cells and once the patient is in remission phase,bone marrow from a compatible donor preferably a sibling is transplanted in thalassemia patients.

Surgery is also done for some patient with bone deformity and sometimes surgery  removal of spleen and gall bladder is also done.

Dr Vikas Dua is consultant Pediatrics bone marrow transplant specialist at Fortis Memorial Research Institute Gurgaon,India.

Dr Vikas Dua did his advanced Fellowship in Pediatrics Bone Marrow Transplant from National University Hospital Singapore and also did his training in child BMT from world's No.1 institute in pead.BMT ,St. Jude's Children research Hospital Memphis,USA.

  • Damage to heart tissue due to a long standing heart disease or heart attack
  • A congenital heart defect ( A defective heart condition since birth)
  • A complication as a result of any prior heart surgery
  • Inflammation in heart tissues due to some infection ( Myocarditis)
  • Under active thyroid function ( Hypothyroidism)
  • Disruption in breathing during sleep ( Obstructive sleep apnoea )
  • Certain autoimmune disorders like Lupus or rheumatic fever may also cause bradycardia or low heart beat.
  • Serum electrolyte imbalance ( Calcium or potassium ) may be a reason for bradycardia.
  • Certain medications prescribed for treating heart rhythm disorder, high Blood pressure or psychosis may also be responsible for low heart beat and bradycardia.

What are symptoms for bradycardia?

When a person is suffering from slow heart beat , his heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to be organs and tissues of body.

When sufficient blood is not pumped to certain organs and tissues they are deprived of oxygen, and low levels of oxygen in the affected organs and tissues may cause them to function erratically.

Symptoms observed by a person of low oxygen to certain organs and tissues may be:

Fainting ( Syncope)

Unexplained fatigue

Shortness of breath

Feeling dizzy or light hearted

confusions

Chest pain

easily tired after small exertion

Complications of bradycardia:

Sudden heart failure is a serious complication

frequent bouts of fainting

Chest pain

Low or high Blood pressure

Diagnosis of bradycardia or slow heart beat:

ECG or EKG

Holter monitor and event recorder

Tilt table test

Stress test

Blood and other pathology tests

Treatment for Bradycardia or slow heart beat:

Treating underline causes like hyperthyroidism or sleep apnea may correct slow heart beat or bardycardia problems.

Change of certain medications or tapering their dose may correct slow heart beat problems.

When other treatment options fails or not possible, a patient may be advised a pace maker implant for a slow heart beat or bradycardia.

Depending on a patient's heart condition , your doctor will decide to choose one among these two types of pacemaker.

  1. Single chamber pacemaker
  2. Duel chamber pacemaker

Endoscopic vein harvesting for a CABG.

Endoscopic vein harvesting or Endovein is a new less invasive way of removing saphenous vein from a CABG ( Bypass heart surgery) requiring patient's leg for doing the bypass graft.

Traditional vessel harvesting procedures require a long incision or a series of incisions down the length of the patient's leg, from the groin to the ankle. The greater saphenous vein is harvested intact through this large incision.

Recent technological advances have made it possible to perform this procedure in a new, less invasive way, called Endoscopic Vessel Harvesting, or EVH.

Endo vein harvesting causes less muscle and tissue damage when harvesting the vein graft. This procedure has eliminated many of the complications associated with the former technique. This may offer significant benefits to you.

How we do Endo Vein harvesting ?

An endoscope is a special instrument, used to view the inside of a hollow area, is connected to a video camera and inserted through a small incision in the leg. The endoscope is used to view the saphenous vein inside the leg and allows us to remove the vein with minimal stress to the leg.

What benefit a CABG requiring patient gets from Endoscopic vein harvesting?

Endoscopic vein harvesting generally results in less muscle and tissue damage and therefore, may reduce the surgical trauma to the patient , quicker wound healing and less chances of infection , due to smaller incision.

In other words:

  • you should experience less tissue scarring
  • your leg wounds should be less painful
  • you should avoid an unsightly scar
  • you will be able to concentrate on your cardiac rehabilitation!
