Comprehensive Medical Treatment for Cancer
Cancer treatment has advanced significantly over the years, offering patients more personalised and effective treatment options than ever before. Medical Oncology focuses on treating cancer using specialised medicines that help destroy cancer cells, slow their growth or support the body's immune system in recognising and fighting cancer.
At Sterling Hospitals, our Medical Oncology team provides evidence-based, personalised care for patients with a wide range of cancers. Every treatment plan is developed after a thorough evaluation of the patient's diagnosis, cancer stage, overall health and treatment goals. Working closely with surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, haemato-oncologists, pathologists and radiologists through multidisciplinary tumour board discussions, we ensure that every patient receives coordinated care tailored to their individual needs.
Our specialists offer advanced systemic therapies including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and CAR T-Cell Therapy for selected cancers. Treatment is supported by dedicated chemotherapy day-care facilities, comprehensive monitoring and supportive care services that help patients manage treatment safely and comfortably.
What is Medical Oncology?
Medical Oncology is the branch of cancer care that uses medicines to treat cancer throughout the body. Depending on the type and stage of cancer, treatment may aim to eliminate cancer, control its growth, reduce the risk of recurrence or relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
Medical oncologists play a central role in planning and coordinating cancer treatment. They work closely with other oncology specialists to determine the most appropriate treatment approach, monitor response to therapy, manage side effects and provide long-term follow-up care.
At Sterling Hospitals, treatment recommendations are based on international evidence-based protocols while being personalised to each patient's individual diagnosis and overall health.
Treatments We Offer
Every patient responds differently to cancer treatment. Our medical oncologists recommend therapies based on the biology of the cancer, its stage and individual treatment goals.
- Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses specialised anti-cancer medicines to destroy cancer cells or slow their growth. It may be used alone or in combination with surgery, radiation therapy or other systemic treatments.
Know More- Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy helps the body's immune system recognise and attack cancer cells more effectively. It is used for selected cancers based on specific clinical indications.
- Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy uses medicines designed to target specific genetic or molecular changes within cancer cells, helping improve treatment precision while reducing damage to healthy cells.
Know More- CAR T-Cell Therapy
CAR T-Cell Therapy is an advanced form of cellular therapy that modifies a patient's own immune cells to recognise and attack certain blood cancers. It is recommended for selected patients after careful evaluation by our multidisciplinary team.
