Understanding Solid Tumors
Solid tumors are abnormal masses of tissue that usually do not contain cysts or liquid areas. They can be benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous). Common examples include carcinomas, sarcomas, and melanomas. Early detection and accurate diagnosis are crucial for optimal outcomes. In our partner clinics in Beijing and Shanghai, we use a multidisciplinary approach involving oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists to provide comprehensive cancer care.
Advanced Diagnostics in China
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our hospitals offer:
- Imaging Studies: CT, MRI, or PET scans.
- Biopsy: Tissue sampling for definitive diagnosis.
- Blood Tests: Tumor markers and genetic testing.
- Endoscopy: Visualizing internal organs and taking samples.
Treatment Options
Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may involve surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or an integrative approach combining Western medicine with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support the immune system and manage side effects.
- Surgical Resection: Removing the tumor when possible.
- Chemotherapy: Targeted cytotoxic agents.
- Radiation Therapy: Precise tumor targeting.
- Integrative TCM: Herbs to support immunity.
