Oncology is the study of cancer with several branches based on the affected organs of the body and different treatment procedures. Medical oncology is one such branch that deals with treating cancer using medicines that target cancer cells. It is often the first line of treatment, followed by radiation therapy and / or surgery, as indicated. Once a patient is diagnosed with cancer, the medical oncologist helps in the following ways:
A cancer patient often needs to be treated through a multidisciplinary Doctor/ Experts approach, which includes a team of specialists from different specialties. This is because cancer treatment requires a combination of therapies for Cure and care of cancer. In complex cases, a tumour board may be called upon to review the case, which consists of experts from all relevant disciplines who consult on the best course of treatment for an individual patient.
At Action Cancer Hospital, our medical oncology department provides a patient-centric, multidisciplinary approach for treating our patients. Our state-of-the-art technology allows us to combat various forms of cancer with ease. We strive to treat the disease and support patients and their families throughout their battle with cancer.
