Oncology

1. Screening and early detection of various types of cancer through physical exams, blood tests, mammograms, colonoscopies, and other diagnostic procedures.
2. Biopsy and tissue testing to confirm the type and stage of cancer.
3. Diagnosis of rare cancers or those that require specialized knowledge.
4. Imaging scans such as MRI, CT scans, X-rays, and PET scans to locate the tumors and assess the extent of the disease.
5. Treatment planning based on the stage, location, and type of cancer, as well as the patient’s overall health and preferences.
6. Chemotherapy and other medical treatments to kill cancer cells or prevent them from spreading.
7. Radiation therapy to destroy cancer cells using high-energy radiation.
8. Surgical procedures, including minimally invasive methods, to remove tumors and surrounding tissue.
9. Palliative care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life for patients with advanced cancer.
10. Genetic testing and counseling to identify inherited predispositions for cancer and provide personalized risk reduction strategies.

1. Assessment of cancer type, stage, and progression through a comprehensive medical evaluation.
2. Consultation with a multidisciplinary team of oncologists to develop an individualized treatment plan.

1. External Beam Radiation Therapy: This is the most common form of radiation therapy which involves the use of a machine to aim high-powered energy beams at the cancer cells.
2. Brachytherapy: Also known as internal radiation therapy, this involves the placement of a radioactive implant in or near the cancerous tissue to deliver a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor.
3. Stereotactic Radiosurgery: A non-invasive technique that delivers high doses of radiation to small, well-defined tumors in the brain, spine or other areas of the body.
4. Image-Guided Radiation Therapy: Uses advanced imaging technology, like CT and MRI scans, to precisely target the tumor and spare healthy surrounding tissue while delivering radiation.
5. Proton Therapy: A type of radiation therapy that uses protons instead of radiation to destroy cancer cells. Offers greater precision and less damage to surrounding tissue.
6. Chemoradiation: This is a type of radiation therapy that is typically used in tandem with chemotherapy to maximize the impact of cancer treatment.
7. Radiation Therapy for Palliative Care: This is a specialized type of radiation therapy that focuses on relieving pain, discomfort or other cancer-related symptoms. Provides comfort, relief and improved quality of life.
