Medical Oncology

Expert Cancer Treatment with Advanced Medical Oncology

Cancer treatment has evolved significantly, and medical oncology plays a crucial role in offering personalized, non-surgical treatments that target cancer cells effectively. At Shalby, our medical oncology team specializes in providing cutting-edge therapies, ensuring the best possible outcomes for our patients.

What is Medical Oncology?

Medical oncology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cancer using systemic therapies, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and hormone therapy. Unlike surgical or radiation oncology, medical oncology treats cancer through medications that work throughout the body, making it essential for patients with advanced or widespread cancers.

Our approach is comprehensive, integrating innovative treatments tailored to each patient’s specific cancer type and stage.

 

Who Needs Medical Oncology?

Medical oncology is recommended for patients with:

  • Solid tumors, such as breast, lung, colon, and prostate cancer.
  • Blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
  • Advanced or metastatic cancer requiring systemic treatment.
  • Cancers that respond to immunotherapy or targeted therapy.
  • Post-surgical or post-radiation patients needing adjuvant therapy to prevent recurrence.

Our medical oncologists collaborate with a multidisciplinary team to design individualized treatment plans for every patient.
