Medical oncology is a field of clinical and experimental research for the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancers. India’s BEST medical oncologists are available at ACI Cumballa Hill Hospital, ensuring you get excellent care
The department of medical oncology deals with administering chemotherapy to patients with solid tumors and hematological malignancies. The field of medical oncology has progressed by leaps and bounds over the past few years.
Starting from superior anti-nausea medications and better venous access devices, chemotherapy these days is very different from the past. The newer chemotherapy molecules and targeted and biological therapies have brought a hassle-free experience for patients.
Precision Oncology available at ACI Cumballa Hill Hospital
Precision oncology is a type of cancer care that utilizes genetic testing to create individualized treatments for each patient. By analyzing an individual’s tumor and its DNA, precision oncology allows doctors to tailor treatment plans specifically to the unique needs of their patients. This advanced form of medical care has revolutionized the way cancer is treated, improving both outcomes and patient quality of life. In precision oncology, a sample from the tumor is analyzed using high-tech molecular techniques to determine which mutations are present in the patient’s cancer cells. Doctors can then use this information to develop targeted treatments that target specific proteins or pathways involved in driving the growth and spread of cancer cells. This approach often results in fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy because it enables physicians to more precisely select drugs that will be effective against particular mutated genes in a person’s tumor.
We have a full-fledged Daycare Center for chemotherapy patients with dedicated, trained staff.
