Oncology

Oncology is the branch of medicine focused on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of tumors and cancer. At Medcy Hospitals, we understand a cancer diagnosis can be a challenging experience. That is why our oncology team is by your side every step of the way, offering precise treatments, compassionate care, and expert guidance to ensure the best possible outcome. We offer comprehensive treatment in all four major areas of oncology: medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, and clinical oncology.

Oncology Services at Medcy Hospitals

To ensure our patients receive the best possible treatment, we offer a multidisciplinary approach combining various advanced services.

Medical Oncology & Targeted Therapies

• Chemotherapy: The most common form of cancer treatment, using strong chemicals to kill rapidly multiplying cancer cells, shrink tumors, and reduce the chance of cancer spreading.
• Targeted Therapy: A treatment that uses drugs to specifically target cancer cells without harming healthy cells, often with fewer side effects than traditional chemotherapy.
• Hormone Therapy: Used for hormone-sensitive cancers like breast and prostate cancer to block hormones that fuel cancer growth.
• Immunotherapy: A treatment that helps the body’s own immune system recognize and destroy cancer cells.

Surgical Oncology

• Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT): A highly precise radiation dose delivered directly to the tumor site during surgery, targeting any unseen cancer cells.
• Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC): A two-stage treatment for certain abdominal cancers. After surgery removes the visible tumors, heated chemotherapy drugs are circulated through the abdominal cavity to eliminate any remaining cancer cells.
• Mohs Skin Cancer Surgery: A precise surgical technique where the surgeon removes skin cancer layer by layer while examining each layer under a microscope to ensure complete removal of cancer cells while preserving healthy skin.

Radiation Oncology

• Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) & Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): Non-surgical procedures that use 3D imaging to deliver high doses of concentrated radiation to tumors, effectively damaging their DNA while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
• CyberKnife Treatment: A non-invasive technology that uses a robotic arm to deliver highly targeted radiation to destroy tumors or lesions, especially in hard-to-reach areas.
