Services Offered
Cancer Diagnosis
This entails imaging tests like MRIs, CT scans to stage various types of cancer and to conduct biopsies that help us to modify the course of treatment based on patient need.
Chemotherapy
To target cancer cells and thwart their growth, we provide a variety of chemotherapy therapies based on the patient's condition and the type of cancer.
Radiation Therapy
This involves delivery of high-energy radiation to target and destroy cancer cells. Advanced techniques like intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and stereotactic radiosurgery are used.
Palliative Care
We offer assistance to individuals with terminal or advanced cancer in order to enhance their quality of life. Our palliative care staff focuses on pain management, symptom treatment, and emotional support for patients and their families.
Support Services
To meet our patients' emotional and psychological needs during their cancer journey, we provide a variety of support services like as counselling, support groups, nutritional guidance, and integrative therapies such as yoga and meditation.
Genetic Counselling
Our department offers genetic counselling to patients and their families in order to estimate the risk of hereditary cancer and provide advice on preventative measures and screening procedures.
Survivorship Programmes
Our care extends beyond treatment, and we provide survivorship programmes to assist patients in resuming normal life following cancer treatment. These programmes concentrate on health monitoring, controlling potential side effects, and resolving any long-term repercussions of cancer treatment.

FAQs
The medical field of oncology focuses on the early detection, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. Our oncology department is committed to offering patients with various forms of cancer, including solid tumours and blood-related malignancies, comprehensive care.
Depending on the type and stage of the disease, the patient’s general health, and updated treatment protocol, individual cancer treatment programmes are developed for each patient.
Our oncologist will review your medical history, conduct a physical exam, and perhaps request additional tests to confirm or evaluate your cancer diagnosis during your initial appointment. After that, we’ll discuss your treatment options and address your queries.
Although our primary focus is on evidence-based treatments, we are open to discussing alternatives and, if necessary, can offer advice on how to incorporate them into your overall treatment plan.
There are occasionally adverse outcomes from cancer therapies. Our staff will keep a close eye on your development and offer supportive care to handle any potential adverse effects.
Imaging studies (such as CT scans, MRIs, and X-rays), biopsies, blood tests, and genetic testing are commonly used to identify cancer. The specific diagnostic strategy is determined by the type and stage of cancer suspected.
During your first visit, you will be evaluated thoroughly, which may involve a physical examination, a review of your medical history, and other testing if necessary. Your oncologist will go over your diagnosis and treatment choices with you, as well as answer any questions you may have.
The Oncology Department frequently provides educational resources and cancer prevention and early detection information. You can also learn more by attending community events, seminars, and workshops organised by the hospital or cancer support organisations.
