Treatments we offer
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is medication used to kill cancer cells and stop them from growing. There are different types of chemotherapy, and the decision on which drug is given, is disease-specific. It can be given in a drip or taken orally.
Immunotherapy
This is medication that works with the body’s infection-fighting system, to stop cancer growth. It is only indicated in certain types of cancers.
Targeted Therapy
These are medicines that only works for cancers with certain characteristics. In these cancers, the treatment leads to cancer cell kill and prevents the cancer from growing and spreading.
Hormonal Therapy
Medications that target cancer cells that are dependent on hormones for their growth.
Palliative Care
It prevents and relieves suffering through the early identification, correct assessment and treatment of pain and other problems.
Radiotherapy
Radiation is high doses of X-rays, used to kill cancer cells at a specific site. External Beam Radiation Therapy describes radiation that comes from a machine that is outside the body (Linear Accelerator).
Brachytherapy
Radioactive products implanted in the cancer itself to radiate the cancer cells directly.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery
A very specific, high dose radiotherapy delivered with precision over a reduced time period.
Radioactive Iodine

This is a broad overview of all the treatment modalities that we offer currently. Each patient will receive a tailored treatment plan specific to their type of cancer. Your Oncologist will discuss your personal treatment plan in detail with you.
