Our Oncology department is committed to delivering advanced cancer care, focusing on the diagnosis, treatment, and support for patients with cancer. We offer a multidisciplinary approach to manage various types of tumors and cancers, ensuring that each patient receives the most effective treatment tailored to their specific needs.

Oncology Detection

Detection of cancer involves a range of methodologies to accurately diagnose the presence and extent of the disease:

• Physical Examination: Our oncologists conduct thorough physical exams to identify abnormalities such as lumps or swelling.
• Laboratory Tests: Blood and urine tests are performed to detect markers and abnormalities indicative of cancer.
• Imaging Tests: Advanced imaging techniques, including X-rays, endoscopy, ultrasound, CT scans, and MRI, are used to visualize and assess the extent of cancer.
• Biopsy: A biopsy involves collecting and analyzing cells from the suspected area to confirm the presence of cancer.

Cancer Treatments

Cancer treatment is tailored to each patient’s condition, and may include:

• Bone Marrow Transplant: This procedure involves transplanting healthy bone marrow to replace damaged or destroyed marrow, aiding in the recovery of blood cells.
• Chemotherapy: Utilizes medications to target and kill cancer cells throughout the body.
• Radiation Therapy: Employs high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors.
• Surgery: Involves the removal of cancerous tumors and surrounding tissue to reduce the spread of cancer.
• Immunotherapy: Stimulates the body’s immune system to identify and attack cancer cells more effectively.
