Winning the Fight Against Cancer: Dr. Asim Rizvi on Advanced Surgical Approaches for Better Recovery
A cancer diagnosis need not now be considered a death sentence but the start of a battle waged with up-to-date medicine, where experts like Dr. Asim Rizvi and his team may be steadily winning the war.
Cancer accounts for an estimated 10 million deaths each year in a world where, as the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals, demand for Advanced Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Cancer Care is at unparalleled levels. For those seeking AC (Advanced Colorectal Cancer) and GI (Gastrointestinal Cancer) Care, the pace of innovative and precision surgery and individualised treatment choices is resurrecting hope of survival.
The Evolving Landscape of Global Cancer Care
Cancer accounts for more deaths than any other disease worldwide, and colorectal, breast and lung cancers are most frequently diagnosed. In the lead-up to the pandemic, mortality levels were steady and decreasing, which means that more tangible, targeted, and laser-focused interventions will be needed. Says Dr. Asim Rizvi, one of Delhi NCR’s foremost surgical oncologist in Delhi NCR and surgeon, ‘Today, recovery is based on two pillars: early detection and “precision oncology’.
With the latter, we delve into the individual’s genetic profile of the tumors, and adapt surgical and medicinal interventions to fit the requirements of each case, ensuring only the diseased parts are affected, intact tissue is not.’
Breakthrough Technologies in Cancer Treatment
Traditional healthcare is being revolutionized by a raft of new developments driving clinical precision and improving the patient experience. Central among these developments is the personalisation of vaccines, which harness a patient’s own immune system to fight certain cancerous cells and thus reduce the odds of the cancer’s return.
This biological personalization can be paired with precision engineering in delivery, as seen by the 7-minute injection of Atezolizumab. Shifting from hour-long IV infusions to subcutaneous delivery results in dramatic reductions in the time clinic staff spend and allows more patients to be seen.
Move on to diagnosis and surgery planning, where leaps and bounds have been made through biotechnology and data science. The implementation of tests for blood proteins provides a minimally invasive screening method that can diagnose up to 18 different precursor cancers in their early stages, revolutionising treatment from reaction to action.
The use of AI in the operating room and diagnostic laboratory has played a crucial role in providing more accurate initial detection and aiding surgeons in detailed image planning of complex margins. All culminating in quicker, more minimally invasive patient recovery.
Advanced Gastrointestinal and Colorectal Cancer Care
In the most complex surgical area of the digestive tract, the skills required to perform these high-speed, high-precision procedures are extraordinary. Dr. Asim Rizvi’s practice emphasizes minimal-access, organ-sparing surgery and early hospital discharge. Now employing laparoscopy and robotic-assisted technologies, we can see the complex anatomy of the colon and rectum with sub-millimetre accuracy, rather than what was once a “big incision” and many days in hospital. This means less pain, faster recovery times, and a much faster return to normal life.
