Cancer Treatment

1. Conventional treatment

- Treatment with Chemotherapy

Working principle of this treatment is to poison or kill cells - cancer cells, controlling the growth of cancer cells and stop its growth so as not to spread or to reduce the symptoms caused by cancer. Chemotherapy is sometimes the first choice for dealing with cancer. Chemotherapy is a systematic, in contrast with radiation or surgery that is local, so chemotherapy can reach cancer cells that may have spread and spread to other parts of the body. The use of chemotherapy vary in each patient, sometimes as a primary treatment, in other cases made before or after surgery and radiation. The success rate of chemotherapy also varies depending on the type of cancer. Chemotherapy is usually done in hospitals, private clinics, the doctor's office, the operating room (although rarely done) and also at home (by the nurse, the patient himself, or other family members).

Side effects of chemotherapy is a decline in the number of blood cells (will be back to normal about a week later), infection (marked by fever, sore throat, burning sensation when urinating, chills and flushed the wound, swelling, and warmth), anemia, bleeding such as nosebleeds, hair loss, sometimes there are complaints such as itchy skin and dry, nausea and vomiting, dehydration and low blood pressure, constipation / constipation, diarrhea, nervous system disorders.

- Treatment with radiation therapy (radiation)

Radiation therapy is usually done before or after surgery to shrink tumors. Radiation done in an attempt to destroy the networks that already have cancer.

Radiation side effects are nausea and vomiting, decreased white blood cell counts, infections, skin reactions such as sunburn, fatigue, pain in the mouth and throat, diarrhea and can lead to baldness.

- Treatment with surgery

Surgery is the treatment of cancer of the oldest. Some cancers are often curable with surgery only if performed at early stages.

- Treatment with combination therapy

For some cancers, the best treatment is a combination of surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy. Surgery or radiation to treat cancer confined area, while chemotherapy aimed at killing cancer cells that are outside the reach of surgery or radiation. Sometimes radiation or chemotherapy before surgery is performed to minimize the size of the tumor or after surgery to destroy remaining cancer cells that may remain.

2. Herbal Medicine

Herbal treatment is a treatment using a variety of extracts from plants (medicinal plants), for example, extracts from mice taro (Extract Typhonium flagelliforme) combined with other natural ingredients that are processed in a modern way, which can help blood and tissue detoxifikasi stimulate the immune system bodies to work together to eradicate cancer cells. Herbal treatment is one alternative treatment that has a lot of other proven treatments performed in a modern / conventional.

The use of herbs to treat cancer is not just showed up. There are several approaches that underlie the treatment with these materials, namely follows:
1. The concept of cancer research that is reversible (can be normal again)

2. The concept of inhibiting cancer growth. Cancer grows as environmental carcinogens and genetic mutations that support growth. If these environmental carcinogens and removed, cancer growth is inhibited.

3. The concept of cancer cell aging. If growth is inhibited, the cancer cells do not have the opportunity to grow, then age and die.

4. The concept of strengthening the other cells around the cancer. Developing cancer by attacking the cells around it, so that by strengthening the surrounding healthy cells can form cell defense that can stop cancer cells.
