Medical Oncology is one of the three pillars of cancer treatment along with surgery and radiotherapy. It deals with the treatment of cancer using drugs which kill cancer cells. Aims of the treatment include cure, prolongation of life, relief of symptoms and providing good quality of life, depending on the extent of disease at presentation. Recent years have seen the advent of several new chemotherapy drugs and also targeted therapy to help achieve the above-mentioned aims.
Medical Oncology involves treating cancer using the following drugs:
- Chemotherapy
- Targeted Therapy
- Hormonal Therapy
The department has been set-up with an aim to provide state-of-the-art, safe and effective treatment in a clean environment. We plan to target all aspects of the patient illness with a multi-disciplinary approach involving a team of the medical oncologist, surgical oncologist, radiation oncologist and support services like preventive oncology, palliative care clinic, counseling and rehabilitation. Chemotherapy and targeted therapy are provided, both, as inpatient and outpatient facilities.
