Treatment
- Chemotherapy
- Surgery
- Chemotherapy / Radiation
Radiotherapy Treatment
Therapy using ionizong radiation, generally as part of a cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells and is normally delivered by a linear accelerator. Radiation therapy may be curative in a number of types of cancers if they are localised to one area of the body. It may also be used as part of adjuvant therapy, to prevent tumor recurrence after surgery to remove a primary malignant tumor
Chemotherapy Treatment
A cocktail of drugs including docetaxel, and cisplatin, which are administered intravenously at the hospital, and fluorouracil, which is administered as a continuous 24-hour infusion for 4 days.
CT Scan
A computed tomography scan makes use of computer-processed combinations of many X-ray measurements taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional images of specific areas of a scanned object, allowing the user to see inside the object without cutting
PET Scan
A positron emission tomography scan is an imaging test that helps reveal how your tissues and organs are functioning. A PET scan uses a radioactive drug (tracer) to show this activity.
