Fighting cancer with expert care
Cancer care requires accurate diagnosis, careful treatment planning and coordinated support throughout the patient's journey. At Preetham Hospitals, our Medical & Surgical Oncology services are designed to provide personalized care based on the type, stage and individual characteristics of each cancer.
Our oncology team works closely with patients and their families to understand the diagnosis, discuss appropriate treatment options and develop a structured care plan. Depending on the condition, treatment may involve cancer surgery, systemic medical therapies, supportive care and regular follow-up.
Why patients choose our oncology care
Accurate Cancer Evaluation
Detailed clinical assessment and appropriate investigations help determine the nature, extent and characteristics of the cancer.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Treatment strategies are tailored according to the cancer type, stage, overall health and individual patient requirements.
Specialized Cancer Surgery
Surgical treatment is planned carefully when removal of a tumor or affected tissue is appropriate for the patient's condition.
Supportive & Follow-Up Care
Ongoing monitoring, symptom management and supportive guidance help patients navigate treatment and recovery with confidence.
Evaluation
Our specialists review symptoms, medical history, examination findings and available diagnostic reports to understand the condition.
Diagnosis & Staging
Appropriate investigations help establish the diagnosis and determine the extent and stage of the cancer.
Treatment Planning
A personalized treatment pathway is discussed, which may include surgery, medical treatment, supportive care or a combination of approaches.
Follow-Up
Regular follow-up helps monitor treatment response, manage side effects and support recovery and long-term cancer care.
When should I consult an oncologist?
You may be referred to an oncologist when cancer is suspected or diagnosed. Early specialist evaluation can help confirm the diagnosis, understand the stage and discuss appropriate treatment options.
What is the difference between medical and surgical oncology?
Medical oncology focuses on cancer treatments that work throughout the body, while surgical oncology focuses on the surgical removal or management of tumors and affected tissues. Depending on the cancer, both approaches may be part of the overall treatment plan.
Does every cancer require surgery?
Not every cancer requires surgery. Treatment depends on the type, location, stage and other characteristics of the cancer. Some patients may benefit from surgery, while others may require medical treatment, radiation therapy or a combination of treatments.
Why is follow-up important after cancer treatment?
Follow-up appointments help the medical team monitor recovery, assess treatment response, manage ongoing symptoms and identify any concerns that may require further evaluation.
