About the Oncology
Department
The experts adopt a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses both medical and surgical oncology. Our team specializes in treating a wide range of cancers, including breast, head and neck, thyroid, and liver and pancreatic cancers.
We are committed to providing personalized treatment plans that combine the latest in chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, alongside advanced surgical techniques. We perform breast imaging examination that is mammogram used to detect and diagnose breast diseases in women. The goal is to look for early signs of cancer. Women after 40s should go for an yearly examination to prevent any complications.

Treatment and Procedure
Breast cancer diagnosis usually involves a combination of imaging tests such as mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRIs, followed by a biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer cells. Genetic testing may also be recommended for some cases.
Chemotherapy uses drugs to destroy cancer cells and is often administered before (neoadjuvant) or after (adjuvant) surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence. It can be delivered intravenously or orally, depending on the specific treatment plan.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and kill cancer cells. It is often used after surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells in the breast, chest wall, or lymph nodes.
Surgical options include lumpectomy (removal of the tumor and some surrounding tissue) and mastectomy (removal of one or both breasts). Reconstructive surgery may also be performed to restore the breast's appearance.
Diagnosis involves imaging tests such as chest X-rays, CT scans, and PET scans, followed by a biopsy. Molecular testing of the tumor may be conducted to identify specific genetic mutations. Surgical options include lobectomy (removal of a lung lobe), pneumonectomy (removal of an entire lung), and wedge resection (removal of a small part of the lung). Surgery is often combined with other treatments for comprehensive care. Chemotherapy is used to kill cancer cells and may be administered before or after surgery, or as a primary treatment for advanced stages of lung cancer. It is often combined with other treatments to enhance effectiveness. Targeted therapy involves drugs that specifically target genetic mutations and proteins that contribute to cancer growth. This personalized approach can be more effective and less toxic than traditional chemotherapy.
Diagnosis typically involves a combination of colonoscopy, imaging tests, and biopsy. Blood tests and genetic testing may also be used. Surgical options include colectomy (removal of part or all of the colon), rectal resection, and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. The goal is to remove the tumor and surrounding tissues to prevent spread. Chemotherapy is used to destroy cancer cells and can be administered before or after surgery. It is also used to treat advanced colorectal cancer and reduce the risk of recurrence. Radiation therapy is often used for rectal cancer to shrink tumors before surgery or eliminate remaining cancer cells after surgery. It may also be combined with chemotherapy for enhanced effectiveness.
Diagnosis involves a combination of PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood tests, digital rectal exams, and biopsy. Imaging tests like MRI and CT scans may also be used. Surgical options include radical prostatectomy (removal of the prostate gland) and minimally invasive surgery. Surgery aims to remove the cancerous tissue and prevent spread.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to target and kill cancer cells. It can be delivered externally or internally (brachytherapy) and is often combined with hormone therapy for advanced stages.
Hormone therapy aims to reduce or block the production of testosterone, which can fuel prostate cancer growth. It is often used in combination with other treatments for advanced or recurrent cancer.
Diagnosis involves blood tests, bone marrow biopsy, and imaging tests. Genetic testing may also be conducted to identify specific mutations. Chemotherapy is the primary treatment for blood cancers, targeting rapidly dividing cancer cells. It can be administered orally, intravenously, or through injection into the spinal fluid.
Stem cell transplantation involves replacing damaged bone marrow with healthy stem cells. This procedure can be autologous (using the patient’s own cells) or allogeneic (using donor cells).
Diagnosis involves a combination of physical examinations, imaging tests, endoscopy, and biopsy. Advanced diagnostic tools like PET scans may also be used. Surgical options vary depending on the cancer's location and extent. They may include tumor resection, lymph node dissection, and reconstructive surgery to restore function. Radiation therapy is often used as a primary treatment or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. It targets cancer cells in the head and neck region while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. Chemotherapy is used to shrink tumors before surgery, eliminate remaining cancer cells after surgery, or as a primary treatment for advanced cancers. It is often combined with radiation therapy for enhanced effectiveness.
Prevention includes HPV vaccination and regular screening with Pap smears and HPV tests to detect precancerous changes early. Early detection improves treatment outcomes. Surgical options include conization (removal of a cone-shaped section of the cervix), hysterectomy (removal of the uterus), and radical hysterectomy (removal of the uterus, cervix, and surrounding areas. Radiation therapy is often used in combination with chemotherapy to treat advanced cervical cancer. It targets and kills cancer cells in the cervix and surrounding areas. Chemotherapy is used to shrink tumors before surgery, eliminate remaining cancer cells after surgery, or as a primary treatment for advanced stages. It is often combined with radiation therapy.
Diagnosis involves pelvic examinations, imaging tests like ultrasound and CT scans, and blood tests. A biopsy may also be performed to confirm the diagnosis. Surgical options include debulking surgery (removal of as much of the tumor as possible), hysterectomy, and oophorectomy (removal of the ovaries). Surgery aims to remove cancerous tissue and improve survival rates. Chemotherapy is often administered after surgery to kill any remaining cancer cells.
Diagnosis involves imaging tests like CT scans, MRIs, and endoscopic ultrasounds, along with biopsy and blood tests for tumor markers. Surgical options include the Whipple procedure (removal of the pancreas head, part of the stomach, and small intestine), distal pancreatectomy (removal of the pancreas tail), and total pancreatectomy (removal of the entire pancreas). Chemotherapy is used to shrink tumors before surgery, eliminate remaining cancer cells after surgery, or as a primary treatment for advanced stages. It may be combined with radiation therapy for enhanced effectiveness. Radiation therapy targets and kills cancer cells in the pancreas and surrounding areas. It is often combined with chemotherapy to improve treatment outcomes.
Diagnosis involves imaging tests like ultrasound, CT scans, and MRIs, along with blood tests and biopsy. Surgical options include partial hepatectomy (removal of the cancerous part of the liver) and liver transplantation. Surgery aims to remove cancerous tissue and improve survival rates. Radiofrequency Ablation: Radiofrequency ablation uses heat to destroy cancer cells and is often used for small tumors that cannot be surgically removed. Chemotherapy can be administered systemically or directly into the liver (intra-arterial chemotherapy) to target cancer cells. It is often combined with other treatments to improve effectiveness.
Diagnosis involves imaging tests like ultrasound, CT scans, and MRIs, along with blood tests and biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer. Surgical options include partial nephrectomy (removal of the tumor and part of the kidney) and radical nephrectomy (removal of the entire kidney and surrounding tissues). Surgery aims to remove cancerous tissue and improve survival rates. Targeted Therapy: Targeted therapy involves drugs that specifically target genetic mutations and proteins that contribute to cancer growth. This personalized approach can be more effective and less toxic than traditional chemotherapy.
Diagnosis involves imaging tests like endoscopy, CT scans, and PET scans, along with biopsy to confirm the presence of cancer. Surgical options include esophagectomy (removal of part or all of the esophagus) and minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery. Surgery aims to remove cancerous tissue and improve survival rates. Chemotherapy is used to shrink tumors before surgery, eliminate remaining cancer cells after surgery. Radiation therapy targets and kills cancer cells in the esophagus and surrounding areas. It is often combined with chemotherapy for a better result.
