5 Major Cancer Categories

Cancer can develop in nearly any part of the body, but most cases fall into five primary categories. Each type affects the body differently and requires a unique treatment approach. At Beacon Hospital, we focus on these major cancer types to ensure patients receive specialised, targeted care based on their diagnosis. The five main categories include:

Carcinoma

Brain and Spinal Cord Cancers

Leukemia

Lymphoma and Myeloma

Sarcoma

Comprehensive Cancer Treatment Options

At Beacon Hospital, we provide a full spectrum of advanced cancer treatment options tailored to each patient’s unique condition. Our multidisciplinary team of cancer specialists leverages cutting-edge technology and personalised care plans to deliver the best possible outcomes. Below are the key treatment modalities available at our Cancer Specialist Centre:

Surgery remains one of the most effective methods to treat solid tumours. Depending on the cancer type and stage, surgery may be performed to:

  • Completely remove localised tumours.
  • Debulk tumours to enhance the effectiveness of other treatments.
  • Relieve symptoms such as pain, pressure, or obstruction caused by cancerous growths.

Our experienced surgeons utilise minimally invasive techniques where possible, aiming for faster recovery and reduced complications.

Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to kill or stop the growth of cancer cells. It works by disrupting how cancer cells grow and divide, targeting fast-growing cells either throughout the body or at specific sites. Depending on the diagnosis, chemotherapy may be used alone or in combination with other treatments such as surgery, radiotherapy, or immunotherapy. Our oncology team customises drug regimens to maximise effectiveness.

Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. At Beacon Hospital, we offer a wide range of advanced radiotherapy solutions:

External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)

Delivered using state-of-the-art systems such as TrueBeam® 2.7 and Halcyon™ 2.0, EBRT allows for precise and efficient treatment.

2.-LINAC-Radiotherapy-2

Our approaches include:

  • 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) – Shapes radiation beams to match the tumour.
  • Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) – Adjusts radiation intensity for greater precision.
  • Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) – Delivers radiation in a single or multi-arc sweep around the patient.
  • Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) – High-dose radiation to small, well-defined tumours.
  • Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) – Non-surgical, high-precision treatment for brain and spinal cord tumours.
  • Whole-Brain Radiotherapy – Targets cancer that has spread to the brain.
  • Total Skin Electron Beam Therapy (TSEBT) – Used to treat skin lymphomas by targeting the entire skin surface.

Internal Radiation Therapy (Brachytherapy)

Involves placing a radioactive source inside or next to the tumour, delivering a high dose of radiation directly to the cancer while sparing surrounding healthy tissues. Commonly used for prostate, cervical, and breast cancers.

Advanced Radiotherapy Options

  • Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT) – Administered during surgery, IORT delivers radiation directly to the tumour bed, reducing treatment time and exposure to healthy tissue.
  • 1-Week Radiotherapy Protocols – Suitable for select cases, this approach shortens the total treatment duration while maintaining effectiveness.

Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that enhances the body’s natural defences to recognise and attack cancer cells more effectively. It is a form of biological therapy that uses substances derived from living organisms to strengthen the immune response against cancer.

Immunotherapy has shown remarkable success in treating cancers such as lung cancer, melanoma, lymphoma, and certain blood cancers—especially when tumours exhibit immune-responsive markers. 

Immunotherapy Options

  • Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors - Help T cells recognise and attack cancer cells by blocking proteins that suppress immune responses. Commonly used in cancers like lung cancer, melanoma, kidney cancer, and head and neck cancers. Commonly used in lymphomas, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer.
  • Monoclonal Antibodies - Laboratory-made proteins that bind to specific cancer cell markers and trigger an immune response. Commonly used in lymphomas, breast cancer, and colorectal cancer.
  • Immunomodulators - Drugs that modify the immune system’s activity, either enhancing or suppressing it. In cancer care, they are used to boost immune responses, especially in blood cancers like multiple myeloma.
  • Cancer Vaccines - Stimulate the immune system to target cancer cells by recognising specific antigens.

Targeted cancer therapy uses drugs to attack specific molecules, like mutated genes or proteins, that drive cancer growth, allowing precise treatment of cancer cells while minimising harm to healthy cells. Targeted therapies work by blocking the molecular pathways or receptors that tumours rely on to grow.

This makes them especially effective for cancers with identifiable mutations or protein overexpression, such as:
  • HER2-positive breast cancer
  • EGFR-mutant lung cancer
  • Colorectal cancer

Targeted Therapy Treatments

  • Monoclonal antibodies: These large molecules attach to specific proteins on the surface of cancer cells, triggering an immune response or blocking signals needed for tumour growth. Some monoclonal antibodies are also linked to toxic agents to directly kill cancer cells.
  • Small molecule inhibitors: These drugs are small enough to enter cancer cells and disrupt internal signals and processes essential for survival and replication.
  • Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT): Targeted Alpha Therapy (TAT) uses alpha-emitting radionuclides, attached to molecules that precisely target cancer cells, delivering high-energy radiation to destroy tumors while minimizing harm to healthy tissue.

hormone therapy
Hormone therapy or also known as Endocrine therapy, works by blocking or lowering hormone levels to inhibit cancer growth. Primarily used for hormone receptor-positive cancers, such as breast and prostate cancer.

bmt
Bone marrow transplant is primarily used to treat blood cancers such as leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and other conditions involving bone marrow failure.

The procedure involves replacing diseased or damaged bone marrow with healthy cells to restore normal blood and immune cell production.

2 Main Types of Transplant

  • Autologous Transplant – using the patient’s own healthy cells
  • Allogeneic Transplant – using healthy cells from a donor

palliative care

Our comprehensive cancer care includes supportive treatments to manage symptoms, reduce treatment side effects, and enhance quality of life. Palliative care may be introduced at any stage of the disease and is tailored to the needs of each patient. Services include:

  • Pain and symptom management
  • Nutritional counselling
  • Psychosocial support
  • Steroids to manage inflammation or brain swelling
  • Antiseizure medications for brain tumour patients

Our Advanced Radiotherapy Technology

Halcycon Radiotherapy 2.0

Beacon Hospital is the 1st Southeast Asia hospital to introduce Varian Halcyon 2.0 machine to its cancer patients. It can be used to treat head & neck, lung, breast, prostate, cervix and other forms of cancer.

This new radiotherapy machine improves treatment time considerably (treatment time can be as short as 1 minute plus).

On the safety aspect, it received United States FDA 510(k) clearance since June 2017.

TrueBeam 2.7 Radiotherapy

We proudly welcomed the TrueBeam 2.7 radiotherapy system into our state-of-the-art facility since 2019. This cutting-edge technology is a beacon of hope for those on their journey to recovery.

It is a new generation of a linear accelerator that can deliver much faster and accurate radiation dose compared to conventional radiotherapy system.

It rotates around you, the patient, with pinpoint accuracy, ensuring targeted beams of radiation.
