Medical Oncology
What is Medical Oncology?
Medical oncology is a modality of treatment in cancer care which uses chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy and targeted therapy to treat cancer effectively. Medical oncology usually works in conjunction with surgical oncology or radiation oncology to deliver the best clinical outcomes. BHIO’s medical oncology speciality team works towards preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer by offering the highest levels of treatment protocols and customised multi-modality therapies. In addition to chemotherapy, the department also runs protocols and specialises in outpatient and ambulatory chemotherapy. Our medical oncology service includes treatments for solid tumours, specialised outpatient chemotherapy with chemoports and haematological neoplasm in adults and children.
