Topics explored include Interventional Therapy, Cryoablation, Radiofrequency Ablation, Radioactive Seed Implantation, Bio-natural therapy, and also complementary treatment such as Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Doctors and Medical Professionals attending the conference agreed on that treating cancer in a wholistic approach is the best option for cancer patients. They advised that while treating cancer patients, one should be on utmost caution to lessen the sufferings of the patient for nearly all men die of their remedies, and not of their illnesses.
After brief introduction to the leading international trend of minimal invasive approach, it was then followed by certain patient-cases presentation and in-depth discussion on the technical aspects of minimally invasive treatment. Attendees voiced out points of concern and these were tackled thoroughly by the speaker, Dr. Peng Xiaochi. In the Open Forum Portion, attendees were able to exchange thoughts, opinions, views and experiences with the speaker. They all reached a common ground that there are “New Hopes and New Choices” to Cancer Treatment and one shall not locked himself but shall open-up to the world of possibilities. Miracles can always happen!

A combination of carefully planned minimally invasive therapy, chemotherapy or radiotherapy can effectively reduce the side effects and discomfort of treatment and may help patient get better efficacy.
