Oncology is concerned with treatment of malignant tumours and cancer. The cancer specialists at the Oncology Department of the Apex Hospitals initiate the treatment process after examining the patient and the grade of cancer from which the patient is suffering. Our team of oncologists includes specialists from diverse fields like medical, surgical, and radiation oncology.
Major Treatments for Cancer
- Palliative Care
The primary purpose is to improve the patient’s quality of life by managing the
physical and psychological symptoms arising from cancer treatment. Palliative Care
can be continued for a longer time period and patients can take from several months
to years for returning to their normal routine life. Some of the common symptoms that
are treated in palliative care include fatigue, constipation, nausea, pain, fear, and
confusion.
- Combination Therapy
The therapy enhances the scope of recovery for cancer patients as it includes the
combination of medication, radiotherapy, and surgery. The therapy includes a
combination of more than one treatment and the most suitable combination of
treatment is decided after examining the patient’s condition.
- Supporting Therapy
The therapy helps in reducing the symptoms caused by cancer or its treatment. Cancer
pain treatment, anti-nausea medication that is used at the time of providing
Chemotherapy are some forms of supportive therapy that aims at improving the
patient’s well being during and after the cancer treatment. The core emphasis of
supportive therapy is to reduce the discomfort of the patient caused by cancer.
