When should you consult with an Oncologist?

An oncologist is consulted when a patient's primary care physician suspects cancer or if any abnormality is it is detected after screening.

A primary care physician can use a range of diagnostic methods and procedures to screen for cancer and to make a diagnosis. A CT scan, an MRI, and blood tests can all confirm the diagnosis. If testing indicates cancer, the patient's primary care physician may suggest visiting an oncologist.

Medical Oncology

• Chemotherapy
  Chemotherapy is a prescription medication used to kill cancer cells. It can be given by intravenous infusion or by oral tablets. It will treat and prevent spreading cancer cells and the recurrence. 

• Targeted therapy
  Targeted therapy are medicines or treatments that target cancer cells more precisely, so that it will spare normal cells.  It can target the proteins that regulate the growth, division, and metastasis of cancer cells or can target cancerous blood vessel cells, or it can alter the tissue milieu in which cancer cells proliferate. This can also be given by intravenous infusion or by oral tablets.

• Immunotherapy
  Immunotherapy is a new era of treatment that helps your immune system to fight cancer. It will help the  body to strengthen the immune system and assist the body in locating and eliminating cancer cells. Cancer of many different kinds can be treated with immunotherapy. It can be used either on its own or in conjunction with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy. This can also be given by intravenous infusion.

• Radiation Therapy
  Another kind of cancer treatment is radiation therapy, sometimes known as radiotherapy. Radiation therapy utilizes intense energy beams to eradicate cancer cells while shielding surrounding healthy tissues from radiation exposure. X-rays are most frequently used in radiation treatment.

At Medcare, we understand that radiation therapy is a crucial treatment for many patients. While we do not offer this service in-house, we have established partnerships with some of the most reputable centers across the Emirates. Our priority is to ensure that our patients receive the best possible care, which is why we refer them to these centers for effective radiation therapy.

Procedures and Treatments under Cancer Care

There are several cancer treatment options. The type of therapy you require will depend on the type of cancer you have and how far along it is in its course. For certain cancer patients, there could be just one treatment. But most patients have a combination of treatments, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy and radiation therapy, in addition to surgery.

Cancer treatments can be used as:

• First line of care: A main treatment's objective is to eradicate the cancer from your body or to destroy its cells. While any cancer treatment can be employed as the initial course of treatment, surgery is the most often utilized primary cancer treatment for the most prevalent kinds of cancer. You could be treated primarily with radiation therapy or chemotherapy if your cancer is especially responsive to such treatments.

• Adjuvant medical treatment: To reduce the risk of a cancer recurrence, adjuvant therapy seeks to destroy any cancer cells that may remain after the initial treatment. Adjuvant therapy applies to all cancer treatments. Adjuvant treatments that are often used include hormone therapy, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy. Neoadjuvant therapy refers to the use of similar therapies before the principal treatment to simplify or improve its efficacy.
