Regional Chemotherapy (RCT) is a radically different method of treating cancer. And one of its pioneers is Prof. Dr. Karl Reinhard Aigner, veteran soldier in the war against cancer. Speaking to media in Dubai, Dr. Aigner explained this promising new treatment method.
Addressing mediapersons in Dubai, Prof. Dr. Karl Reinhard Aigner said - The treatment called Regional Chemotherapy (RCT) is tolerated well by 95% of all patients; they suffer neither nausea nor hair loss. “For me, my highest goal has always been to relieve pain”. Survival rates and prognoses for recovery lie significantly above those of the results for conventional chemotherapy especially in Breast and Pancreatic cancer. Good chances for treatment success exist for most cancers of other body organs, such as lung cancer, carcinomas of the stomach, liver, bladder, prostate, ovaries, anus as well as head and neck tumors.
Prof. Dr. Karl Reinhard Aigner and his highly specialized team of physicians will, as of April 2006, be available for consultation on the first Saturday of every month from 10 a. m. onwards at the RCT center, Derma Health Hospital, International Medical Centre, Dubai.
Mr. John Hassett the Commercial Director for IIR Holdings the organizers of Arab Health -- the regions largest healthcare exhibition welcomed the decision of Dr Aigner and the Medias Group to hold treatments in Dubai.
Specialization in the treatment of critical diseases has shown globally to produce significantly improved outcomes. Importantly however the decision made here highlights how the Middle East and especially Dubai is now welcoming experts from across the globe to offer patients an increased choice in the options available.
Mortality figures for the region prove that cancer is one of the major causes of death in the region. The availability of Dr Aigner in the region can only help in the action that is required to reduce the figures.
According to Mr. Hassett, “Regional Chemotherapy is a significant step forward in the treatment of tumors. Dr Aigner is an expert in the treatment of solid tumors and it will be in Dubai's interest have him here."
Cancer is considered to be an insidious, difficult to treat disease with many bad side effects on the bodies and the spirits of its victims. New hope is offered to cancer patients with a very effective therapy used on the tumor or the tumor area, what is called regional chemotherapy (RCT). Prof. Dr. Karl Reinhard Aigner, the pioneer of regional chemotherapy, will from now on be practicing the method he helped develop for the treatment of solid tumors in the United Arab Emirates. At the end of January the licensing authority of the emirate gave him permission to practice regional chemotherapy and surgery in Dubai.
Prof. Dr. Karl Reinhard Aigner, head of oncologic surgery at the medias Klinik in Ransbach-Baumbach, Germany, has been successfully using regional chemotherapy for years. The basic concept is to treat organs and body parts affected by cancer very aggressively in one region only while filtering the chemotherapeutic agents out of the rest of the body. In doing so, the tumor shrinks and later can be removed without problems, or it may even completely disappear as a result of the therapy.
