LAHORE: A new and advanced era in cancer treatment has started in Punjab. Chief Minister Punjab Maryam Nawaz inaugurated the province’s first Coblation Cancer Treatment Center at Mayo Hospital, Lahore.
The center uses modern equipment imported from China, offering patients a safe cancer treatment without the need for chemotherapy or surgery.
Doctors at Mayo Hospital have successfully treated two patients using coblation technology. One patient had a blockage in the liver arteries, while the other had breast cancer. The treatment works by using electric heat to destroy only the affected tissues.
According to doctors, this advanced method targets only the cancerous areas, causes less pain, and helps patients recover faster.

What is coblation?
Coblation is a method where cancer cells are destroyed using heat from electricity. This modern technique lets doctors treat tumors very precisely, helping patients recover faster with less pain.
Unlike traditional treatments, which can take a long time and cause many side effects, coblation gives patients a quicker and safer way to heal.
