Punjab Launches Coblation Cancer Therapy
Punjab has set a new benchmark in healthcare with the launch of the province’s first coblation-based cancer treatment center at Lahore’s historic Mayo Hospital. This breakthrough technology offers a cutting-edge alternative to surgery and chemotherapy, making Pakistan one of the few countries in the region to adopt such an advanced approach. The initiative, spearheaded by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, underscores the government’s commitment to transforming cancer care and improving public health.
A Game-Changer for Cancer Patients in Punjab
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz is set to officially inaugurate the state-of-the-art coblation centre at Mayo Hospital. This development offers cancer patients in Pakistan a safer, faster, and less invasive treatment option. Unlike surgery or chemotherapy, which often involve long recovery times and painful side effects, coblation uses electrical heat to precisely destroy cancerous tissues.
Doctors at Mayo Hospital have already reported successful results using this method. In two remarkable cases, a patient with a tumour blocking arteries supplying blood to the liver and another with breast cancer were treated effectively using coblation technology. Both patients experienced quicker healing and minimal discomfort—showing the life-changing potential of this innovation.
Advanced Technology and Training from China
To establish Punjab’s first coblation facility, advanced machinery was imported from China. Along with the equipment installation, doctors and medical staff underwent specialized training to ensure safe and effective use of the technology. This international collaboration highlights Punjab’s commitment to modernizing healthcare and making innovative treatments available to the people of Pakistan.
What is Coblation?
Coblation is a highly precise medical technique that destroys cancerous tissues using controlled electrical heat. By directly targeting tumours, coblation minimizes damage to surrounding healthy tissues, significantly reduces pain, and accelerates the recovery process. This makes it a powerful alternative for patients who wish to avoid invasive surgery or chemotherapy.
Transforming Cancer Care in Pakistan
Medical experts have hailed the introduction of coblation as a revolutionary step forward. The availability of this advanced treatment in Punjab is expected to expand options for patients with lung, liver, and breast cancers, improving outcomes and reducing the emotional and physical burden of traditional therapies.
With coblation cancer treatment now available, Pakistan joins the ranks of countries adopting modern solutions to combat cancer. This leap in healthcare innovation not only provides hope to thousands of patients but also reflects the province’s dedication to improving the quality of medical care.
