2.    What technologies are important for performing oncology procedures?

Based on the organ that is afflicted with cancer, the treatment used for its cure can vary.

Tumor Surgery – is the extraction of the tumor (cancerous cells) from the organ. It is the fastest way of getting rid of a significant portion of the tumor. 

Chemotherapy – Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer drugs, which are given to the patient orally or through IV, that help in stopping the production of cancer cells while killing them simultaneously.

Radiation Therapy – uses an X-ray machine which helps provide targeted radiation on the parts that are afflicted with cancer cells, killing them without damaging the healthy cells in the body.

CyberKnife – uses an advanced LINAC (lightweight linear accelerator) which has a robotic arm, which assists the oncologist in delivering focused beams of radiation directly on the targeted area.

Immunotherapy – uses advanced drugs that train the patient’s immune system to attack the cancer cells more aggressively. 

3.    Why does the cost of treatment vary in different hospitals in the same country or location?

The cost variation of cancer care occurs in different hospitals located within the same location, because of factors like hospital room rent, oncologist’s fees, equipment charges, facilities available, and medications etc. used throughout the treatment.
