Solid Tumors Treatment; a Combination of Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy, and Surgery

 

Solid tumors treatment usually involves several types of therapy, such as radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surgery. A solid tumor is an abnormal mass or lump of tissues without liquid or cysts. To create the best solid tumors treatment plan, doctors need information about a specific tumor, such as its size and location. Based on the nature of the tumor, it can be classified as the benign tumor (non-cancerous) and the malignant tumor (cancerous). Solid tumors can occur in many places such as organs, bones, and muscles.

Different types of solid tumors are named for the type of cells that form them. Examples of solid tumors are lymphomas, carcinomas, and sarcomas. A cancer, or tumor, can occur in any organ or tissue of the human body. Solid tumors form lumps, while liquid tumors flow freely in the blood. Tumors are masses of abnormal growths in the body. In the case of children, they occur in their bones, tendons, and organs. In adults, they can be found in the bladder, liver, colon, lungs, heart, kidneys, gallbladder, pancreas, and other parts of the abdomen.

A brain tumor is the most common type of solid tumor found in children. After brain tumors, the most common types are Neuroblastoma. Doctors often need to study a piece of tissue to learn about solid tumors. The solid tumors treatment team obtain sufficient details from the biopsy to suggest a treatment plan. The surgeon try to remove the tumor at the same time, in some cases. With the increasing prevalence of solid tumors, the demand for solid tumors treatment is also increasing rapidly.

For instance, in August 2020, T-knife GmbH, based in Berlin, Germany, raised a € 66 million (around US$ 78.4 million) to develop CAR-T solid tumor therapies, a promising new way to get immune cells called T cells to fight cancer by changing them in the lab so they can find and destroy cancer cells.
