Oncology

Cancer can originate from any location within the body, comprising billions of cells. Normal cell division and replacement occur, but abnormal cell growth can lead to tumors, which may be cancerous or benign. Early detection through routine screenings such as mammograms, Pap smears, and colonoscopies is vital for prompt intervention and improved outcomes.
Accurate cancer diagnosis necessitates precise diagnostics and a proficient medical oncology team. Imaging techniques such as PET/CT scans, MRI scans, and biopsies are utilized for comprehensive evaluation. Therapeutic strategies involve investigative procedures, often requiring imaging of affected areas. Depending on the initial investigation, patients may undergo a combination of invasive or non-invasive scanning techniques to assess the extent of cancer involvement which is below.
Dexa Scan, Digital Mammography, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET-CT), Ultrasound, X-Ray, Aspiration Biopsy, Bone Marrow Examination, Cervical Smear Test, Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC), Tumor Marker Testing, Proctoscopy, among others.

Chemotherapy, a cornerstone in cancer treatment, employs various drugs to target cancer cells. Response to chemotherapy varies among individuals. It not only eradicates cancer cells but also impedes their growth and prevents metastasis. Chemotherapy can be administered independently or alongside radiation therapy and surgery, augmenting treatment efficacy.
Patients undergo both inpatient and daycare chemotherapy based on their condition. Surgical procedures are conducted on affected areas, with skilled surgeons providing appropriate interventions.
The final phase of treatment is rehabilitation. This process is designed to restore individuals' physical, mental, and social functioning following injury, illness, or addiction—in this context, post-cancer treatment. Rehabilitation encompasses therapeutic interventions, lifestyle modifications, and support systems to enhance independence and well-being. By utilizing tailored programs and multidisciplinary approaches, rehabilitation promotes recovery, reintegration, and an improved quality of life.
