Cancer Institute consists the following :
Multidisciplinary Approach
The strength of the Cancer Institute lies in our ability to offer all treatment modalities within a single roof. Patients are seen and evaluated in multimodality clinics such as Head and Neck, Breast and Gynecology by a team of specialists in each malignancy. Treatment decisions are then made in multidisciplinary tumour boards where these specialists sit together and discuss the plan of treatment. The emphasis is on combining all modalities of treatment in the right combination to achieve the best results, while minimizing the side effects. The Cancer Institute comprises of Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Medical Physics, Pain & Palliative care & Tumour Registry.
Multidisciplinary Tumour Boards
The availability of all associated departments under a roof makes the management of most malignancies easier for the patient and physician. There is a strong emphasis on multi-disciplinary approach to treat the patient with tumor board meetings being held regularly to discuss the cases and decide the best management options for the patient.
