Medical Oncology/Chemotherapy in Thane

Medical oncology is a branch of medicine that specialises in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. It plays a crucial role in the comprehensive care of cancer patients. Oncologists, medical doctors with expertise in cancer treatment, are the primary healthcare professionals involved in medical oncology.

What is Medical Oncology?

Medical oncology involves the use of various treatment methods for cancer, with one of the most common being chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy. Chemotherapy is a medical procedure given systemically that uses medications to stop or slow down the growth of cancer cells. It is administered by specially trained medical professionals.

The Role of a Medical Oncologist

Oncologists help in diagnosing cancer, staging, Investigating, planning the treatment, and monitoring the patient's progress and then follow up. They work closely with a multidisciplinary team of healthcare providers to provide the best care possible.

When Does Someone Need an Oncologist?

Patients typically consult an oncologist when they are diagnosed with cancer or when they are at high risk of developing cancer. Early detection and timely intervention are key in improving the outcomes of cancer treatment. Oncologists guide patients through this challenging journey, providing support, information, and a personalised treatment plan.
