About

Chemotherapy is one of many therapeutic methods we can use in our fight against cancer. More specifically, it involves the use of drugs to tackle the disease and to destroy cancer cells.

Chemotherapy is used in different ways. Sometimes the drugs are administered singularly, and sometimes in combination, should the specialist doctor decide that this might work better for a specific patient. It could also be used together with radiotherapy and/or surgical procedures, with the aim of getting rid of the cancer totally and keeping it from coming back. It is often used as a precaution after the surgeon has removed a malignant tumor, so that if there are other cancerous cells which have not been located elsewhere in the body through lab fests, maybe the drugs could do the job. In this way there could be a significant reduction of the possibility of some sort of relapse.

Sometimes, Chemotherapy is administered prior to surgery to protect the body from any circulating cells and also to reduce the tumor, which makes the operation easier. Finally, it is also administered when the disease is widespread and no other therapeutic method cannot, and in some case should not, be applied.

Scalp Cooling

Many patients regard hair loss as the most frightening experience of the side effects of chemotherapy. The psychological factor is not insignificant, as it might have a dramatic effect on many people's self-esteem.

The Paxman Scalp Cooling Orbis II system, which we off at the GOC, was created exactly for this purpose, i.e. not only to treat alopecia, but mainly to help patients maintain their self confidence and prevent or ease the negative psychological impact of hair loss.

Implantable Catheter PORT-a-CATH

The port-a-cath (short for Port) is a small device that is placed under the skin, on the right side of the chest. It has a catheter that through a large vein reaches the right side of the heart called vena cava superior. Port-a-cath is used for intravenous fluids, blood transfusions, chemo drugs and other medicines. It is also used for blood sampling. The device can stay in place for weeks or even months, helping to avoid the need for multiple injections.

The regimen and treatment chosen is adapted to each patient’s medical history and clinical picture. We apply treatment schemes which have been shown through studies and previous experience to be effective in the majority of patients in a certain phase of the disease. The response to the drug or combination of drugs, always depends on each patient individually. If it does not prove effective, then in consultation with the physician, other regimens and combinations are studied and suggested, again according to each patient.
