Oncology
Targeted chemotherapy, immunotherapy, advanced surgery
Oncology is the branch of medicine that diagnoses and treats cancer. Cancer care is usually planned by a team that includes surgical oncologists, medical oncologists who give chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other drug treatments, and radiation oncologists who plan radiotherapy. Treatment depends on the type of cancer, where it is in the body and how far it has spread, and often combines more than one approach. Before treatment begins, patients usually have tests such as scans and a biopsy so that the team can confirm the type and stage of the cancer and plan care in the right order.
Medwell arranges a broad range of cancer treatment in India, including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy (IMRT / IGRT), robotic cancer surgery, breast cancer surgery (modified radical mastectomy), head and neck cancer surgery, Whipple's surgery, cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC and bone marrow transplant (BMT). Your oncologist confirms the right plan after reviewing your biopsy, scans and reports.
