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.
It has fewer chances of urinary incontinence or erectile dysfunction as compared to surgery or radiation therapy

Lowest cost - Highest Quality HIFU for prostate cancer treatment in India :

Brachytherapy for prostate cancer.

Posted by CMCS Health

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 ).

Dr Rama Joshi - Gynecological Oncology Surgeon , is director - Gynecological Oncology at Fortis Memorial Research institute Gurgaon., India.

Breast cancer surgery in India.

Posted by CMCS Health

Breast cancer surgery is needed for both cosmetic purposes and more serious life threatening medical conditions. At CMCS Health , we are associated with best Indian breast cancer surgeons for breast cancer surgery in India.

Breast cancers are one of the most common cancers among women and treatments of breast cancer involves breast cancer surgery , Chemotherapy , Radiation therapy , Targeted drug therapy and hormone therapy. Surgery is the mainstay of breast cancer treatments.

Breast cancer surgery in India :

Surgery is the mainstay of breast cancer treatments . Breast cancer surgery can be combined with radiation therapy , chemotherapy , targeted therapy hormone therapy , and immunotherapy.

There are two main types of surgery performed for breast cancer treatment .

1. Mastectomy :

Mastectomy surgery for breast cancer treatment involves removal of complete breast.

Mastectomy surgery can be further classified as:

Radical mastectomy :

Radical mastectomy involves removal of breast tissue, nipple, areola and skin but not all the lymph nodes and the pectoral (chest wall) muscles under the breast.

It is performed rarely now and only if the surgeons feel that cancer has grown or may grow into pectoral muscles.

Modified Radical mastectomy ( MRM)

Modified radical mastectomy involves removal of breast tissues , nipple , areola , skin and all the lymph nodes under the arm ( axillary lymph nodes dissection ) .

Skin or Nipple sparing mastectomy :

The skin or nipple sparing breast cancer surgery is a variation of the total mastectomy and is normally performed to allow the surgeon to perform breast reconstruction. The surgery removes the same amount of breast tissue. The difference is that the surgeon leaves the breast skin (skin-sparing) and sometimes the nipple (nipple-sparing).

Breast reconstruction can be done at the same time of mastectomy or later.

Double mastectomy :

When both the breasts are removed , it is called double mastectomy or bi lateral mastectomy.

2. Breast conservation surgery :

Not all breast cancers require complete removal of breast , if the size of tumor is not too big and it is localized , doctor may perform a surgery with removal of tumor and safe margins along the breast tissues. Breast conservation surgery are also called lumpectomy. It is usually followed by radiation therapy , chemotherapy or hormone therapy.

Sometime chemotherapy is given to patient before the surgery to reduces the size of tumor , it is called neoadjuvant chemotherapy.

Breast oncoplasty or breast reconstruction surgery :

When lumpectomy or breast conservation surgery is done for a patient, many times it leaves a bad scar or disfigurement in a patient.

Breast reconstruction or breast oncoplasty surgery is combination of breast cancer surgery with cosmetics or plastic surgery to hide the scar or restore the form of breast.

Breast reconstruction or breast oncoplasty surgery can be done at the same time of lumpectomy or afterwards.

Prostate Cancer treatment in India.

Posted by CMCS Health

Prostate cancer treatment in India :

Prostate Cancer is a one of the serious and life threatening medical condition affecting prostate. Prostate cancer usually affect elderly and above 65 year old men but it may affect younger men too. Prostate cancer is the second largest cancer in men.Prostate cancer generally metastasizes to bones. Since the growth of prostate cancer is slow it may not affect or diagnosed in early stages but there are instances where the cancerous prostate cells have grown rapidly. We are associated with Best Indian Urology surgeon well versed with da Vinci robotic surgery , Medical oncologist well versed with chemotherapy and immunotherapy and Radiation oncologist for comprehensive and complete Prostate cancer treatment in India.

Who are at risk for prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer affects men above 50 years of age.Over a period of time the survival rate in prostate cancer have improved dramatically from 30% in 1970's to 80% presently.

Prostate cancer may affect any men above the age of 50 years,but the African or African Caribbean are at a three fold higher risk than white people.The man whose father or brother have been diagnosed with prostate cancer stand two and a half time higher chances than the men who never had a prostate cancer family history.

Black men are at three times higher risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer as compared to white men.

Some studies suggest that men among the populations where consumption of "red meat" is more common are at a higher risk of developing prostate cancer.

Prevention of Prostate Cancer

Certain life style changes may reduce risk of prostate cancer. Quitting smoking and regular physical exercises at least for 30 minutes a day and five days a week can cut down risk of prostate cancer. Reduction in consumption of animal fat or red meat also cut down the risk for prostate cancer. A study although not confirmed that a diet high in tomatoes may also be helpful in reducing the risk of prostate cancer.

How Prostate Cancer is diagnosed?

Prostate cancer is usually diagnosed through screening as symptoms appear quite late in patients.The usual diagnostic procedures are a blood test called PSA or prostate specific antigen test. A higher PSA test result indicated possibility of prostate cancer. Although it may be non confirmatory too as Prostatitis may also cause elevated PSA levels.

DRE (Digital Rectal examination) may also suggest presence of prostate cancer, where a qualified and experienced doctor puts a gloved lubricated finger inside the rectum of the patient to feel any bump or hard surface on prostate suggesting a cancerous growth.

Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) or Transrectal ultrasound guided biopsy are more confirmatory and reliable tests for diagnosing the presence of prostate cancer in a patient.

Prostate cancer treatment in India:

The treatment options for prostate cancer depend on stage and overall general health of patient.

It may involve watchful waiting or active surveillance.

Prostatectomy the surgical removal of part or whole of prostate.

We offer Laparoscopic or robot assisted surgeries for prostate cancer treatment in India.

Robot assisted prostate surgery are the latest surgical techniques for smaller incision,quicker healing and precise results for prostate cancer . Doctors do consider nerve sparing surgical removal of part or whole prostate that does not affect the normal sexual capacity and active sexual life of patient.

We at CMCS Healthare associated with the most experienced cancer surgeons and well equipped hospitals for prostate cancer treatment in India of our global guests.Expertise of a urological cancer surgeon is very crucial for treatment outcome of prostatectomy.

Other treatment options are Radiation Therapy, it could be external beam radiation therapy. With a 3D conformal radiotherapy assisted with CT scans and MRI for precise results with optimum dose to cancerous cell within the prostate gland.

IMRT or Intensity modulated radiation therapy give more flexibility of dose modulation to Radiation doctors thereby more precise results and avoiding side effect of radiation on bowel and bladder overtime.

Proton therapy is considered superior to external beam radiation therapy for more precise and less side effect associated radiation therapy for prostate cancer treatment.

Brachytherapy for prsoate cancer can be used for patients who want to avoid daily visit to radiation therapy center or do not want to stay in India for long.

The expertise of Radiation Oncology doctor is again vital for treatment outcome. CMCS Health is associated with the most experienced Radiation oncology doctors and hospitals with latest diagnostics and radiation therapy machines for better treatment outcome of prostate cancer for our global guests.

Hormonal therapies are also used along with surgical and radiation therapies for better treatment options and results for prostate cancer treatments.

Chemotherapy is used for hormone resistant and metastatic or advanced prostate cancer. A combination of chemotherapeutic drugs or single agent therapy are used for better results and lower side effects.

Targeted chemotherapy for prostate cancer holds big promise for recurrent and advanced or prolapsed prostate cancer treatment.

HIFU is a newly US FDA approved prostate cancer treatment procedure with no surgical incision and better safety profile for prostate cancers which are localized and non metastatic.

Prostate cancer treatment in India | Robotic Prostatectomy.

Posted by CMCS Health

Prostate cancer surgery is recommended for those patients where cancer is localized and has not metastasized. At CMCS Health, we are associated with the best Indian Uro-oncology surgeons for both laparoscopic prostate cancer surgery and Robotic prostatectomy for prostate cancer treatments in India.

da Vinci robotic prostatectomy for prostate cancer treatment in India has considerable advantages over conventional laparoscopic prostatectomy as it not only empowers the surgeon to overcome shortcomings associated with both open prostatectomy and laparoscopic prostatectomy but also offers better patient compliance. We are associated with the most experienced Uro-Oncology surgeons of India well versed in Robotic prostatectomy .

During a robot-assisted prostatectomy for prostate cancer treatment in India, a three-dimensional endoscope and equipment for high-resolution images and enhanced field of vision are used to provide a magnified view of delicate tissues and structures like blood vessels, nerves, and muscles surrounding the prostate gland.

Advantage of robot-assisted prostatectomy in India :

As the incisions made during the da Vinci robotic prostatectomy are much smaller in size, they reduce the chances of any post-surgery infections, minimize the damage to surrounding tissues, and have lesser hospital stay for patients.

During the robotic prostatectomy the surgeon sits at a computer console and manipulates the tiny wristed instruments that offer greater mobility than the human wrist and thus offers a better precise surgery.

Which patients are best suited for robot assisted prostatectomy:

Prostate cancer patients whose prostate cancer is in T1 or T2 stage , that is the cancer is localized , are the ideal for robotic prostatectomy however your treating doctor will decide if robotic prostatectomy is best suited for you.

Treatment of prostate cancer is like the treatment of any other cancer. It involves all three fields of cancer treatments like Cancer Surgery, Medical oncology ( Chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, targeted or immunotherapy ), radiation therapy ( for brachytherapy, IMRT, IGRT, 3D CRT, VMAT, or SBRT) for complete and comprehensive prostate cancer treatment in India.
