Oncology

Department of Comprehensive Oncology (SEAROC)

Cancer is a disease which is increasing day by day and so are the challenges to its treatment.

Cancer which was synonymous with death a few years ago is not so deadly now with better understanding of cancer biology and availability of better technology for treatment of cancer patients. With the use of multimodality treatment the results have started improving.

Oncology is the study of cancer or tumors. An oncologist is a doctor who treats cancer and provides medical care for a person diagnosed with cancer. Our team of medical oncologist, surgical oncologist, radiation oncologist, gynecologic oncologist and pediatric oncologist are expert in cancer diagnosis and stage detection, talking about all treatment options and electing patient’s choice, delivering quality and compassionate care and helping a patient manage the symptoms and side effects of cancer and cancer treatment.

At SEAROC CANCER CENTER, We have a council of dedicated and experienced doctors in different fields of oncology like medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, preventive oncology and allied branches like pathology, radiology etc.
