Services
CONSULTATION
A cancer patient meets with a specialized physician who carefully listens to their medical history, symptoms and concerns. The oncologist performs a thorough examination, reviews diagnostic tests and explains the diagnosis, stage and treatment options available. They provide personalized guidance, answer questions and develop a comprehensive treatment plan ensuring the patient feels supported and empowered throughout their cancer journey.
CHEMOTHERAPY
Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment that uses powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells throughout the body. It is administered either orally, intravenously or through injections.The purpose of chemotherapy is to stop or slow down the growth of cancer cells, shrink tumors and prevent their spread, often used in combination with other treatment modalities such as surgery or radiation therapy to achieve the best possible outcome for the patient.
TARGETED THERAPY
Targeted therapy is a type of cancer treatment that specifically targets cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy cells. It works by blocking the specific molecules or pathways that cancer cells need to grow and survive. Unlike traditional chemotherapy, targeted therapy is tailored to the individual's specific cancer characteristics such as genetic mutations or protein overexpression resulting in more precise and potentially more effective treatment strategies.
