Medical Oncology

Medical Oncology is the science of treating and curing cancer with anticancer drugs. Anticancer drugs are of various types like chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, targeted monoclonal antibodies etc. These act on the cancer cells to either kill them directly or indirectly. A combined treatment using anticancer drugs along with surgery and/or radiotherapy achieves a greater therapeutic effect.

Our cancer center goes well beyond providing top quality patient care -- health education and disease prevention too are important focus areas for the clinic. The outpatient department extends its services to thousands of patients every year. The services include diagnosis & evaluation of all cancers.

Day care administration allows the patient to walk home the same day after chemotherapy infusion saving both time and resources. The day hospital offers extended hours, a variety of comforting treatment settings and advanced care support.Its goal is to help cancer patients fit medical care into their lives.

The Day Care Centre is run by a fully trained staff comprising ten nurses who work under the supervision of an oncologist .It offers different treatment settings to fit the needs of individual patients. The day care facility helps patients receive their therapy in a light, open environment that allows for interaction with others. There are also private infusion rooms for patients receiving longer treatments or who need more complex support.
