Here are five innovative colorectal cancer treatment approaches, often used in combination or for metastatic disease, as highlighted by leading centers like MD Anderson:
Targeted Therapy: Drugs designed to interfere with specific molecules (often proteins) on cancer cells that are essential for their survival, multiplication, and spread, acting on a cellular level.
Immunotherapy (Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors): Treatment that enhances the patient's own immune system's ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells by preventing the immune system from prematurely turning off.
Cryoablation (Cryotherapy/Cryosurgery): A minimally invasive procedure that uses extreme cold (a special probe cooled to below freezing) to form an ice ball that freezes and destroys cancerous tissue.
Microwave Ablation: A minimally invasive procedure that uses heat, delivered via a probe, to destroy cancer cells by heating the tissue until it is destroyed.
Angiogenesis Inhibitors (Anti-angiogenic Therapy): Drugs that disrupt the process of creating new blood vessels (angiogenesis) that tumors use to increase blood supply and grow rapidly.
