The medical oncology unit follows the latest scientific protocols and has autologous bone marrow transplant facilities. Towards providing a holistic approach, the department also offers rehabilitation services including stoma rehabilitation, speech rehabilitation and occupational therapy. Realizing the importance of psychosocial support, there are counselors and volunteers to help patients throughout their treatment.
The oncology division has a dedicated oncology day care centre and an in-patient wing with trained oncology nursing staff. Soon the department will be providing facilities for home based chemotherapy. The department also has a Pain Clinic to manage every aspect of cancer pain especially for the terminally ill patients.
The services are integrated keeping in mind patient convenience. All the consultants evaluate a case during tumor board meetings wherein patient management decisions are discussed and finalized. With this the patient benefits from the expertise of the entire oncology team.
