I have cancer, what therapeutic options are available to me?
Following a cancer diagnosis, many treatments can be considered, depending on the potential treatments already received, the overall health status, and the type and stage of the cancer. The multitude of options available can sometimes make visibility on the care journey difficult.
Chemotherapy, definition and function.
Chemotherapy is one of the oldest and most common treatments for cancer. It is a treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells by preventing them from multiplying or spreading in the body.
Radiotherapy, definition and function.
Radiotherapy consists in sending radiation (also called rays or radiation) to destroy cancer cells by blocking their ability to multiply, while maintaining, as much as possible, healthy tissue and organs close to the tumor. We then speak of a locoregional cancer treatment, that is to say, relating to a region of the body.
Immunotherapy, definition and functioning.
Immunotherapy aims to stimulate the body’s immune defenses against cancer cells. This stimulation of the immune system can be done in particular thanks to checkpoint inhibitors, antibodies or even therapeutic vaccines.
Frequently asked questions
What is early access treatment?
Early access treatment is an override mechanism that allows patients to access new treatments that are not yet approved (pre-MAM early access) or not yet reimbursed (post-MAM early access). These treatments may be an additional treatment option for cancer patients.
What are the treatments for localized stage cancers? (Neo-adjuvant and adjuvant therapy)
Neo-adjuvant therapy : Neoadjuvant therapy is a type of treatment used to treat cancer before surgery. Most often, the aim of neoadjuvant therapy is to reduce the size of the tumor before surgery.
Adjuvant therapy : Adjuvant therapy is a type of treatment that is used after surgery to treat cancer.
Neoadjuvant and adjuvant therapy may include:
- Chemotherapy
- radiation therapy
- immunotherapy
- hormonal therapy
There are other treatments available through clinical trials
With Klineo, you can find the clinical trials that are right for you. To do this, it is important to enter the treatments received in order to find relevant clinical trials. This information can be found in the recent consultation report.
What are the treatments for cancers in the metastatic stage? (processing lines)
Treatments used to treat metastatic cancer are called “processing lines”. A treatment line may include:
- Chemotherapy
- Radiotherapy
- Immunotherapy
- Targeted therapy
Example:
- If treatment with surgery + adjuvant chemotherapy, then surveillance and metastatic relapse - then 0 treatment lines should be entered at the metastatic stage.
- If treatment by surgery + chemotherapy as an adjuvant, then surveillance and metastatic relapse with a 1st line of chemotherapy treatment, then stop because of new progression, then 1 line of treatment and the name of the chemotherapy must be entered.
