“CCC” Cancer Treatment Model
A. Theoretical Basic
Cancer is a systemic disease with tumors as a local manifestation of the disease. Once cancer occurs in a person, cancerous cells will be found in the whole body. Surgical removal of tumors in no way implies one is cured of cancer. For example breast cancer, even though tumors have been removed in the early stage, it can relapse even after twenty years.
Like hypertension and diabetic, cancer is considered as a chronic disease. The disease may take a few years to manifest itself- from its occurrence till emergence of tumors. In some cases cancer cells in the body may continue to exist in a status of dormancy and never manifest themselves.
Our immune system plays an important role in controlling development of cancer. Cancer cells may either be killed by immune cells or if they are as strong as immune cells, it may lead to a stage of truce and nothing happens to the body. However, if the immune cells fall in number and their activity level is reduced, or if cancerous cells are able to evade the detection of immune cells (immune tolerance), then the cancerous cells will prosper, grow and spread rapidly (metastasis) and become life threatening. Hence the following principles have to be adhered to in the treatment of cancer:
1. Perform surgical removal of tumors or cryosurgical ablation. Surgery and cryosurgical ablation are effective local treatment methods.
2. Conventional chemotherapy will damage immune cells. In cancer nano micro-vascular blockage (CNB), minimal dose of chemotherapy drugs are inserted into tumors resulting in a greater local treatment effect with minimal side effects.
3. Immunotherapy is a systemic therapy. The destruction of the last cancer cell is by immune cells and not by any other medicine.
B. TREATMENT:
1. Cryosurgical Ablation CSA
Using imaging guided techniques (Ultrasound, CT or MRI), cryo-probes are inserted into tumors to lower the temperature of the targeted area -160℃ or below. Later the temperature is raised to 20-40℃. This is repeated two or three times to lead to complete ablation of the whole tumor.
CSA has the following advantages:
•It is applicable to both small and large tumors. It can lead to ablation of a single tumor or several tumors;
•Cryosurgical ablation will not cause damage to large blood vessels and trachea hence can be used to treat tumors at the nearby area;
•Cryosurgical ablation will not cause any pain. Instead it helps to reduce pain.
•The whole process of cryosurgical ablation can be monitored through imaging techniques such as ultrasound;
•After cancerous cells have been destroyed by CSA, they are left intact. Dead cancerous cells will release antigens which will stimulate the immune system to eradicate any remaining cancerous cells and reduce re- occurrence of cancer;
