Persistent difficulty in defecation forced Mr. Zainal to have a physical examination in a local hospital. The man was overwhelmed by the result of the diagnosis: Colorectal cancer with hepatic metastases has attacked the body of the tough man.

Mr. Zainal accepted local hospital’s advice and received colorectal cancer surgery as well as hepatic resection at first time. However, the surgery didn’t help slow down the man’s disease progression. Worse yet, the intravenous chemotherapy lasting 6 courses after the therapy made the man endure unbearable pain.

“I feel more and more painful, but the doctors in Malaysia just constantly advised me to accept resection and chemotherapy. I rejected all those advices. I believe there must be some better ways to cure my body. I have had enough of those scars and pains.” said Mr. Zainal.

Radioactive Particles Implantation is a new substitute of traditional radiation therapy. With the help of computer Treatment Planning System (TPS), radioactive particles will be implanted into tumors. The particles which release γ-rays can continuously kill tumor and cause destruction targeted at tumor cells. With time, the radiation amount would accumulate to be large enough to destroy the DNA double strands of tumor cells. [ Video : Particles knife ]

Interventional Therapy is a new substitute of traditional chemotherapy, which means that a physician introduces instruments such as needles or catheters (long, thin tubes) into the body through tiny (1-2 mm) incisions in the skin. The instruments are then guided by an imaging technique called fluoroscopy to the cancer tumor. In this way, the physician can deliver cancer medicine directly to the tumor.
