Gastrointestinal Cancer Treatment in India for Africans

Gastrointestinal Cancer Treatment in India for Africans

Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers affect the organs of the digestive system. These include cancers of the pancreas, stomach, esophagus, and liver.

Gastrointestinal cancer treatment in India gives Africans a unique opportunity to combat the debilitating disease at internationally accredited hospitals, with treatments costing much lower than in other countries having the expertise and infrastructure to combat cancer.

Advantages

There are numerous benefits that Africans can reap by choosing to have their GI cancer surgery in the country. Here is a quick run-down of them:

Cancer treatment costs in the country are substantially lower than in the western countries

Africans get quality care, despite paying just a fraction of the prices charged in other countries

We facilitate gastrointestinal cancer treatment at a leading hospital of the country which is a prime destination for African medical tourists

Lack of language barriers, thanks to English-speaking doctors and staff, enhances the overall experience of the medical tourists

Ease of obtaining treatment appointments with no wait-times involved and quick patient turnover rates are the other advantages of having your gastric cancer treatment in India

Gastric Cancer Treatment Options

Surgery

One of the following surgical methods may be used to treat your gastrointestinal cancer:

Burning away the tumor with electric current in a process known as fulguration

Freezing the abnormal tissues to destroy them in a process known as cryosurgery

Removing the cancerous part of the organ in a process known as resection

Killing cancerous cells with high energy radio waves emitted by the small electrodes of a special probe

Radiotherapy

Alternatively known as radiation therapy, this treatment option involves killing cancerous cells with high-energy waves.

Your radiation oncologist and physicist will plan the course of your treatment to minimize radiation to your important organs and maximize it to the desired area

Chemotherapy

Drugs are injected either intravenously or using a catheter into the bloodstream to pass throughout the body

Chemotherapy may be used to destroy cancer cells that remain after surgery or regulate their growth and help the patient get respite from the symptoms

Target Therapy

It stops the formation of new blood vessels in the cancer cells

It obstructs substances required for the growth of the tumor

Though mainly used for treating colorectal cancers, target therapy is also used for pancreatic and liver cancers
