Oncology

Oncology

Cutting-edge cancer treatments, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy.

Chemotherapy

The use of drugs to kill or slow the growth of cancer cells. It can be systemic (affecting the whole body) or localized.

Radiation Therapy

The use of high-energy radiation to shrink tumors or kill cancer cells. It can be delivered externally or internally (brachytherapy).

Surgery

Removal of cancerous tumors or tissues, either alone or in combination with other treatments. It may include minimally invasive or robotic-assisted procedures.

Immunotherapy

Treatments that use the body’s immune system to fight cancer, such as checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy, or cancer vaccines.

Targeted Therapy

Drugs or other substances that block the growth and spread of cancer by targeting specific molecules involved in tumour growth.

Hormone Therapy

Treatment used for cancers that rely on hormones to grow, such as breast and prostate cancers, to block the body’s ability to produce hormones or interfere with their effects.

Bone Marrow or Stem Cell Transplant

A procedure to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy stem cells, often used in blood cancers like leukaemia and lymphoma.

Palliative Care

Supportive care focused on providing relief from symptoms and improving quality of life for patients with advanced or terminal cancer.

Precision Medicine

Tailoring treatments based on the genetic makeup of the patient’s cancer, often involving genomic testing and molecular profiling.

Photodynamic Therapy (PDT)

A treatment that uses drugs activated by light to kill cancer cells, often used for skin cancers or early-stage lung cancer.

Cryotherapy (Cryosurgery)

The use of extreme cold to freeze and destroy cancerous cells, commonly used for skin, cervical, and prostate cancers.

Radiofrequency Ablation

Using high-frequency energy to heat and destroy cancer cells, often applied in liver, lung, or kidney cancers.

Hyperthermia Therapy

Raising the temperature of tumour tissues to damage or kill cancer cells, often used in conjunction with other treatments.

Monoclonal Antibody Therapy

Lab-made antibodies designed to attack specific proteins on cancer cells, used in various cancers like breast and colorectal cancer.

Clinical Trials

Offering patients access to experimental drugs or treatments that are not yet widely available.

Supportive Therapies in Oncology

Pain Management

Medications and interventions to control cancer-related pain.

Nutritional Support

Diet adjustments and supplements to maintain strength and energy.

Psychological Support

Counselling and mental health support to help patients cope with the emotional challenges of cancer treatment.
