Treatments Using Medical Oncology

Medical oncology alone or in combination with other cancer treatment modalities can be used to treat various types of cancers such as breast cancer, head and neck cancer, leukemia, colon cancer, lymphomas, lung cancer, etc. Our department of medical oncology deals with diagnosis and treatment for solid tumors, accurate diagnosis and management.

Different types of medical oncology treatments available at Felix Hospital includes:

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is the treatment of cancer with powerful drugs as part of a standardized regimen. These drugs destroy cancer cells and prevent them from growing, dividing and spreading within the body.

Depending on the type and location of cancer, Chemotherapy may be administered orally, intravenously or injected directly into the muscle, abdomen or under the skin. It is mostly used to treat recurrent cancers or the cancers that come back after the treatment and metastatic cancers, cancers that have spread to other parts of the body.

Based on your cancer type and stage, one of our top medical oncologists at Felix Hospital — the leading cancer hospital for chemotherapy - will develop a tailored Chemotherapy plan for you. We also provide Palliative chemotherapy and care to control or relieve the symptoms of our advanced stage cancer patients. 
 

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy, a type of biological therapy, uses the body’s own immune cells to fight and stop the growth of cancer. The procedure activates the body’s immune mechanism to destroy the abnormal cells or prevent their growth.

The immune cells used during Immunotherapy are either from the patient’s own body or are made in a laboratory.

Targeted Therapy

Targeted Therapy is an advanced cancer treatment that uses medications to target specific molecules, genes, or proteins found in cancer cells, responsible for the growth and progression of cancer cells. It can be given through oral medications or IV infusion.

Similar to Chemotherapy, Targeted Therapy can also be given before or after surgery to shrink or kill the cancer cells, or to reduce the cancer growth in advanced cancers.
