Medical Oncology

Cancer poses a growing health challenge worldwide, and here in our country, it’s no different. The most prevalent forms of cancer affecting our community include breast, lung, large intestine, rectum, cervix, ovary, stomach, and pancreas among women, while lung, prostate, large intestine, rectum, stomach, and pancreas are prominent among men.

At No Wait Surgery, we specialize in medical oncology, a critical discipline within internal medicine that plays a pivotal role in the care of cancer patients. Our approach to diagnosing and treating cancer patients hinges on the collective wisdom of experts across various medical fields. At the heart of our mission is the meticulous planning and administration of drug treatments, personalized to each patient’s unique condition.

Personalized Medication Treatment

Our array of cancer treatments encompasses a spectrum of drug therapies, each tailored to tackle this formidable adversary. From chemotherapy drugs designed to obliterate cancer cells, to targeted medications disrupting the mechanisms that fuel cancer cell growth, and hormone-resistant drugs for specific cancer types, we’ve got your back. Not to mention our support drugs, a vital component in managing adverse events and treatment-related side effects. What’s more, we offer cutting-edge immunotherapy drugs to fortify your immune system in the battle against cancer. It’s all about personalization.

Combining Treatments for Maximum Impact

In the early stages of cancer, surgical treatment can prove highly effective. It’s a crucial tool for eliminating microscopic disease in high-risk patients, reducing tumor size before surgery, or even preventing the spread of cancer. In some cases, radiotherapy can complement surgical interventions, either before or after. Our ultimate goal? To eradicate the disease when combined with local treatments in non-spreading early-stage cases. For advanced or recurrent cancer, we may recommend a combination of chemotherapy, targeted medications, and surgery to control the disease, prevent proliferation, and extend life expectancy. Your well-being is our priority.
