Tumor / Malignancies

At Dixit Clinic and Gastro Centre, we are dedicated to providing comprehensive care for patients with tumors and malignancies affecting the gastrointestinal system. Our experienced team of specialists uses cutting-edge diagnostic techniques and tailored treatment strategies to manage and treat various types of cancers, ensuring personalized and effective care throughout the process.

Diagnosis of Tumors and Malignancies

Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective cancer treatment. Our diagnostic approach includes several advanced methods:

• Clinical Evaluation: We begin with a detailed assessment of your medical history, symptoms, and risk factors. This includes a thorough physical examination and discussion of any signs such as unexplained weight loss, persistent pain, or changes in bowel habits.

• Imaging Studies: To visualize the extent of tumors and assess their impact on surrounding tissues, we use advanced imaging techniques. This includes CT scans, MRIs, and ultrasounds, which provide detailed images of the affected areas and help determine the stage of the cancer.

• Endoscopy: For gastrointestinal tumors, endoscopy allows for direct visualization of the digestive tract. A flexible tube with a camera (endoscope) is inserted through the mouth or rectum to examine the esophagus, stomach, or colon. Biopsies can be taken during this procedure to obtain tissue samples for further analysis.

• Biopsy: A biopsy is essential for confirming a diagnosis of cancer. Tissue samples are examined under a microscope to identify cancer cells and determine the type and grade of the tumor. This information is critical for developing an appropriate treatment plan.

• Laboratory Tests: Blood tests and other laboratory analyses may be conducted to assess overall health, monitor organ function, and identify biomarkers associated with specific types of cancer. These tests provide valuable information for diagnosis and treatment planning.

Treatment Options for Tumors and Malignancies

Once a diagnosis is confirmed, our team at Dixit Clinic develops a personalized treatment plan based on the type, stage, and location of the tumor:

• Surgery: Surgical intervention may be recommended to remove tumors or affected tissues. Our skilled surgeons use minimally invasive techniques when possible to reduce recovery time and minimize complications.

• Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy involves the use of powerful drugs to target and kill cancer cells. This treatment may be used alone or in combination with other therapies to manage or shrink tumors.

• Radiation Therapy: Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells or shrink tumors. It may be employed to target specific areas affected by cancer and is often used in conjunction with surgery or chemotherapy.

• Targeted Therapy and Immunotherapy: These advanced treatments focus on specific characteristics of cancer cells or enhance the body’s immune response to fight cancer. Our team evaluates the suitability of these therapies based on individual patient profiles and tumor characteristics.
