When cancer enters an advanced stage, treatment is no longer just a choice of medical technology, but a systematic project involving scientific decision-making, comprehensive intervention, and humanistic care.
Different tumor types, extent of metastasis, prior treatment history, and the patient’s physical condition will all directly influence the subsequent treatment path.
Therefore, we insist on helping every patient establish a clear and feasible treatment direction through systematic evaluation and a comprehensive multidisciplinary perspective, avoiding repeated trials and focusing on effective treatment.
Analysis of Applicable Population and Consultation Indications
Not all cancer treatments face the same choices. Patients in the advanced stage often require scientific, systematic, and holistic evaluation more than ever.
Seeking professional and comprehensive medical evaluation is especially recommended in the following situations:
Newly Diagnosed Malignancy
Facing the formulation of an initial treatment plan, or needing to adjust an existing treatment path
Poor Response to Traditional Treatment
Limited efficacy after surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy, or poor patient tolerance
Disease Progression to Advanced Stage
Recurrence, metastasis, or reaching Stage IV, urgently requiring systematic disease control strategies
Exploring Comprehensive Therapy
Patients/families interested in trying diversified treatment modes like minimally invasive interventions, local ablation, or palliative care
We emphasize: In complex stages of illness, treatment should not be “trial and error,” but a precise choice based on evidence. All treatment recommendations must be formulated jointly by a multidisciplinary team after systematic evaluation, integrating the patient’s specific condition, performance status, past treatment responses, and quality of life goals.
Special Notes on Advanced / Stage IV Cancer
Advanced cancer usually means the tumor has spread or metastasized. Treatment at this stage is no longer limited to local removal but shifts towards comprehensive management focused on disease control, symptom relief, function maintenance, and quality of life improvement.
| Treatment Goal | Specific Meaning |
|---|---|
| Disease Stabilization & Control | Prolong progression-free survival and overall survival through a combination of systemic and local interventions |
| Multidimensional Symptom Relief | Targeted management of pain, dyspnea, malignant effusions, malnutrition, and other tumor-related symptoms |
| Optimization of Treatment Burden | Balance treatment benefits and risks, avoid overtreatment, and improve treatment adherence |
| Quality of Life Assurance | Maintain functional status, support return to social roles, and achieve a dignified survival |
Our hospital’s Multidisciplinary Team (MDT) integrates clinical, imaging, pathological, genetic, and psychosocial information to build a “Biopsychosocial” comprehensive evaluation system, formulating individualized support plans that are both scientifically rigorous and full of humanistic care.
Introduction to the Minimally Invasive and Comprehensive Treatment System
In advanced cancer treatment, minimally invasive techniques are becoming a key bridge connecting local control and systemic therapy. What we provide is not just a single technique, but a complete, customizable, multi-technology synergistic treatment system.
Modern Cancer Hospital Guangzhou has established a mature system encompassing 18 minimally invasive treatment techniques as a vital part of comprehensive advanced cancer therapy, especially suitable for patients intolerant to major surgery or those needing intensified local control.
Core Technology Matrix
| Technology Category | Representative Techniques | Efficacy |
|---|---|---|
| Brachytherapy | I-125 Seed Implantation | Precise implantation of radioactive seeds into the tumor via image guidance for continuous, high-dose, low-damage internal radiotherapy; suitable for locally recurrent or residual lesions |
| Interventional Therapy Series | Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE), Drug-eluting Bead Embolization, Arterial Infusion Chemotherapy | Significantly increase drug concentration in the tumor area via vascular intervention while blocking blood supply, delivering a dual attack on tumors; suitable for hypervascular tumors like liver cancer and liver metastases |
| Physical Ablation Techniques Series | Radiofrequency Ablation, Microwave Ablation, Cryoablation, Nanoknife (Irreversible Electroporation) | Directly destroy tumor cells through thermal effects, cold effects, or electrical pulses; minimally traumatic, quick recovery. Nanoknife is especially suitable for tumors near sensitive structures like blood vessels and bile ducts, avoiding thermal damage |
| TCM Treatment | Internal and external use of Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, acupoint application, TCM dietary therapy | Strengthens the vital foundation. Alleviates fatigue and loss of appetite; reduces side effects of chemotherapy/radiotherapy/targeted therapy, and inhibit tumor metastasis and recurrence; regulates immunity, improves the tumor microenvironment, and enhances quality of life |
| Integrated Palliative & Supportive Care | Pain Management, Nutritional Support, Psychological Intervention, Physiotherapy & Rehabilitation | Systematically alleviate symptoms, improve physical strength, and enhance overall quality of life; an indispensable part of advanced cancer treatment |
We insist Minimally invasive treatment is not suitable for all patients. The application of each technique requires strict indication evaluation and multidisciplinary discussion. Our goal is to build an individualized path for you where local treatment synergizes with systemic management, and disease control balances with quality of life, through scientific combination.
Clinical Value and Expected Benefits of Minimally Invasive Comprehensive Treatment
In advanced stage treatment, we pursue not only the reduction of tumor markers but also the improvement of the patient’s overall condition, symptom relief, and maintenance of a dignified life.
Under the premise of professional evaluation and suitability, minimally invasive and comprehensive treatment plans are expected to achieve the following clinical values:
Local Lesion Control
Precise intervention on primary and metastatic lesions to achieve long-term stability of local disease
Symptom Burden Reduction
Effective relief of various clinical symptoms caused by tumor compression, invasion, and metabolism
Improvement of General Status
Reducing tumor burden through local treatment, creating favorable conditions for subsequent systemic therapy
Enhancement of Quality of Life
Safeguarding physiological function and social participation while prolonging survival time
