Infusion Therapy for Cancer

Treatments/Procedures:

Treatments include chemotherapy (via infusion or directly into the bladder), immunotherapy, and targeted therapy.

Treatments/Procedures:

Treatments often include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormonal therapy. These therapies are usually delivered through infusion or oral medications.

Medical Therapies

• Chemotherapy – Uses powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells, often administered through infusion or oral medications.
• Immunotherapy – Boosts the body's immune system to help fight cancer.
• Targeted Therapy – Focuses on specific cancer cell abnormalities to stop their growth.
• Hormonal Therapy – Blocks or lowers hormones that fuel certain types of breast cancer.

Radiation Therapy

• Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) – Adjusts radiation doses to protect nearby organs and healthy tissue.
• Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) – Uses real-time imaging for precise radiation targeting.

Treatments/Procedures:

Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy are commonly used to treat this cancer, often delivered via infusion. Surgery to remove polyps or tumors is also a standard treatment.

Treatments/Procedures:

Treatment depends on the cancer stage. Common options include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, surgery, and radiation therapy.

If the cancer has not spread, surgery (esophagectomy) is the primary treatment, often combined with chemotherapy and radiation. Minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic and thoracoscopic procedures, offer benefits like reduced pain and faster recovery.

For advanced cases or patients unable to undergo surgery, chemotherapy and radiation are the main treatments. Palliative procedures help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Surgery

• Esophagectomy (minimally invasive or open)
• Transhiatal & Transthoracic esophagectomy (Ivor Lewis procedure)
• Robotic-assisted esophagectomy
• Endoscopic mucosal or submucosal resection
• Lymph node dissection

Non-Surgical Treatments

• Chemotherapy
• Radiation therapy
• Immunotherapy
• Targeted therapy

Palliative & Supportive Procedures

• Esophageal stent placement (to aid swallowing)
• Feeding tube placement (gastric or jejunal)
• Palliative radiation or chemotherapy

Treatments/Procedures:

Immunotherapy and targeted therapy are the most common infusion-based treatments. Surgery is often required to remove the affected kidney or tumor.

Treatments/Procedures:

Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy are commonly used, typically administered through infusion. Bone marrow transplants may be necessary for certain cases.

Treatments/Procedures:

Treatment options include chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, which are typically administered through infusion. Radiation therapy and surgery may also be used depending on the stage of cancer.

Surgical treatments include:

• Lobectomy, pneumonectomy, or wedge resection
• Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery
• Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery
• Endobronchial therapies, such as laser or stent placement

Radiation treatments include:

• Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy
• Image-Guided Radiation Therapy
• Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy

Treatment:

• Chemotherapy: Systemic treatment that uses drugs to kill cancer cells.
• Radiation Therapy: Targeted treatment that uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells.
• Immunotherapy: Treatments that harness the body’s immune system to fight lymphoma.
• Stem Cell Transplant: In certain cases, a transplant may be necessary to restore healthy bone marrow.

Treatments/Procedures:

Immunotherapy and targeted therapy are common treatments, often delivered via infusion. Surgery is also frequently performed to remove the melanoma.

Symptoms:

Symptoms include bone pain, frequent infections, anemia, fatigue, and kidney problems.
