What Is Systemic Cancer Therapy?
Systemic cancer therapy refers to treatments that travel through the bloodstream to target cancer
cells throughout the body. These therapies are particularly effective for cancers that have spread
(metastasized) beyond the original site. The main types of systemic therapies we offer include:
1. Chemotherapy: Medications that kill or slow the growth of rapidly dividing cancer cells.
2. Immunotherapy: Boosting the immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells.
3. Hormonal Therapy: Blocking or lowering hormone levels to slow hormone-sensitive
cancer growth (e.g., breast or prostate cancer).
4. Targeted Therapy: Precisely attacking specific molecules or pathways involved in
cancer growth and spread.
At Melna Oncology Centre, we create individualized treatment plans to ensure you receive the
most effective systemic therapy for your type and stage of cancer.
