Treatments
19
Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy places a radiotherapy source directly in contact with the tumor, for targeted and short-duration treatment.
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy attacks the mechanisms specific to cancer cells, with fewer effects on the rest of the body than conventional chemotherapy.
Oncological orchidectomy
Orchidectomy surgically removes a testicle affected by a tumor, the first step in treating testicular cancer.
Breast lumpectomy
Tumorectomy removes the tumor from the breast while preserving the rest of the mammary gland, an alternative to complete mastectomy.
Radical Prostatectomy
Radical prostatectomy removes the prostate and seminal vesicles to treat localized prostate cancer. It is performed laparoscopically, a minimally invasive technique.
Partial Nephrectomy
Partial nephrectomy removes a kidney tumor while keeping the healthy part of the organ, to preserve kidney function as much as possible.
Endometrial Cancer Surgery
Endometrial cancer surgery removes the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries, with lymph node assessment when needed. It is the main treatment for this cancer and is often performed laparoscopically.
Hemicolectomy
A hemicolectomy removes the right or left part of the colon containing the tumor, along with the related lymph nodes. It is the standard surgical treatment for colon cancer.
Low Anterior Resection
A low anterior resection removes the part of the rectum affected by the tumor, with the surrounding tissue and lymph nodes, while preserving the anal sphincter. It is the standard operation for many rectal cancers.
Lung Lobectomy
A lobectomy removes the lobe of the lung containing the tumor, along with its lymph nodes. It is the standard surgical treatment for localized lung cancer.
Total Laryngectomy
A total laryngectomy removes the larynx to treat advanced or recurrent cancer. Breathing then happens through a permanent opening at the base of the neck, and speech can be regained through voice rehabilitation.
Tongue Base Surgery
Tongue base surgery removes a tumor at the back of the tongue, in the oropharynx, while preserving swallowing and speech as much as possible.
Radical Mastectomy
A (modified) radical mastectomy removes the whole breast and the underarm lymph nodes, to treat breast cancer when breast-conserving surgery is not possible.
Gastrectomy (Stomach Cancer)
Oncological gastrectomy removes part or all of the stomach, along with the surrounding lymph nodes, to treat stomach cancer. It is different from the sleeve gastrectomy performed for obesity.
Breast Cancer Surgery
Surgery is the main treatment for most breast cancers. Depending on the tumor, it either keeps the breast or removes it entirely.
Colorectal Cancer Surgery
Surgery removes the part of the colon or rectum affected by the tumor, with its lymph nodes. It is the standard treatment for localized colorectal cancer.
Urological Cancer Surgery
Urological cancer surgery treats tumors of the prostate, kidney and testicle, most often with minimally invasive techniques.
Head and Neck Cancer Surgery
Head and neck cancer surgery removes tumors of the larynx and oropharynx while preserving voice, swallowing and breathing as much as possible.
Non-Surgical Cancer Treatments
Some cancers are treated without surgery, or alongside it, with targeted irradiation of the tumor or with drugs that act on its mechanisms.
