The department, in collaboration with radiation oncology, is engaged in concurrent chemo radiation of head and nick cancer, cervix cancer, lung cancer etc.
The Medical oncology department is also engaged in the treatment of hematological disorders such as myelodysplasia, aplastic anemia etc. With the establishment of state-of-the-art blood bank facilities we are soon going to start high-dose chemotherapy with autologous bone marrow transplantation in cases of leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and solid tumours with poor prognosis.
Now patients are being given chemotherapy in a single day schedule which is convenient to the patient as well as hospital. Our day care centre has nine beds and is opened from 9.00 am till 5.00 p.m.
The day care concept has been very encouraged by the patients as there are obvious benefits to them:
- More convenient, as patients can return home the same day. It is less stressful particularly for children.
- Perception of being sick is reduced.
- The Department is getting good response.
- Separate Paediatric oncology department
- Separate adult patients in solid tumours & haematology;
- Clinical trial facilities.
