Argon Plasma Coagulation

Listen to Dr. Mark Lund explain argon plasma coagulation. This form of electrosurgery uses electricity to kill the tumor, without requiring doctors to touch the tumor. As Dr. Lund explains, this reduces tumor bleeding.

Dr. Mark Lund: Argon Plasma Coagulation is one of the tools that we use here at Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Eastern Regional Medical Center. It is a form of electrosurgery that uses electricity to kill the tumor but doesn’t require that we actually touch the tumor. The problem with touching the tumor in some cases is that it bleeds a lot. By us being able to approach the tumor without touching it we actually can effectively destroy areas of tumor, and stop bleeding in those areas that are oozing and causing people to cough up blood with much less risk. We can also take out larger areas of tumor and, in a sense, paint the area that was the bottom of that tumor and therefore, we can stop bleeding after we’ve taken out tumors.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
