Cancer Faculty: cancer demands a multidisciplinary team approach

Medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and surgical oncologists offer compassionate care to cancer patients. They are specially trained and have the expertise to properly diagnose stage and manage cancers of all types.

Medical Oncology

Evidence-based medicine is practiced along with internationally approved standard guidelines to prepare individualized treatment plans. To ensure this medical, surgical and radiation oncologists work collaboratively. Patients are educated about their cancer, staging, prognosis, treatment options, risks and benefits. Chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, immunotherapy, biological or targeted therapies are recommended according to the requirement.

State-of-the-art chemotherapy suite has oncology trained nurses, pharmacists and other support staff to coordinate the services given by chemotherapists and oncologists. Stringent quality control and infection control measures minimize the risk of cross infection.

Radiation Oncology

We have Radiation oncologists who specialize in treating cancer and benign conditions of the brain, breast, prostate, bladder, gastrointestinal system, cervix and uterus, head and neck, lung, pancreas, bone, skin and every other organ and systems in the body.

Surgical Oncology

Surgical oncologists work collaboratively with multidisciplinary team consisting of pathologists, plastic surgeons, oncology nurses, radiologists, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists and genetic counsellors to develop personalized treatment plans. Patients can benefit from innovative treatment protocols and clinical trails and thus new cancer treatment regimens are available to them.

• Laparoscopic treatment of cancer
• Intraoperative radiation therapy and brachytherapy, treatment options where radiation may take place during surgical procedures
• Rectal cancer surgery that avoids removing sections of the colon

Bone Marrow Transplantation       

Bone marrow transplants are done to treat patients with:
