Oncology: Your Medication Arsenal Against Cancer

Oncology, the backbone of cancer treatment, equips us with a vast arsenal of medications to combat the disease. Chemotherapy unleashes a targeted attack on cancerous cells, seeking and destroying them. Immunotherapy harnesses the power of your body’s immune system, training it to recognize and eliminate cancer cells. Hormone therapy disrupts the growth of hormone-sensitive cancers. And targeted therapy zeroes in on specific molecules that fuel cancer’s growth.

Hematology: Unlocking the Secrets of Blood Cancers

Hematology delves into the intricacies of blood-related diseases, including those pesky blood cancers. Our experts diagnose and manage conditions like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. With a keen eye for detail, they analyze blood cells under the microscope, piecing together the puzzle of your condition. But don’t worry, they’re not all about blood draws; they also administer treatments like chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and bone marrow transplantation.

Radiation Oncology: Zapping Tumors with Precision

Radiation Oncology wields the power of radiation to shrink tumors and prevent them from wreaking havoc. Using high-energy beams, our experts deliver pinpoint radiation doses, targeting tumors while sparing healthy tissue. That means fewer side effects and a better quality of life during treatment. But don’t be fooled by the name; radiation oncology isn’t just about zapping tumors. It also involves simulation, planning, and verification, all to ensure the safest and most effective treatment.

Surgical Oncology: Skilled Hands, Precision Cuts

Surgical Oncology takes a hands-on approach to cancer removal. Our surgeons are masters of their craft, meticulously removing tumors with surgical precision. They perform a variety of procedures, from minimally invasive laparoscopic surgeries to complex open surgeries. Their goal? To remove cancer with minimal damage to surrounding tissues and maximize your chances of a successful recovery.

Bone Marrow Transplant: A Lifeline for Blood Cancers

Bone Marrow Transplant offers a lifeline to patients with certain blood cancers. This intricate procedure replaces damaged or diseased bone marrow with healthy stem cells, giving your body a chance to rebuild a strong immune system. It’s like a reset button for your blood, providing a fighting chance against cancer.
