Treatments for Cancer
Targeted Therapy
5
Targeted therapy targets specific molecules or pathways involved in the growth and survival of cancer cells. These therapies are tailored to the genetic makeup of the cancer cells and can often be more precise than traditional chemotherapy.
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery
4
Gamma Knife is a non-invasive procedure that uses precise beams of radiation to target and treat tumours or lesions in the brain. It is highly accurate, minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue, and is typically used for conditions such as brain tumours, trigeminal neuralgia, and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).
Surgery
6
Surgery involves physically removing tumours or cancerous tissue from the body. It is often used to remove localized tumours that haven't spread extensively.
