Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer medicines to destroy or control cancer cells. Treatment may be given alone or in combination with surgery, radiation therapy, targeted therapy or other cancer treatments depending on the cancer type and stage.
Targeted therapy uses medicines designed to act on specific molecular features or pathways involved in cancer growth. Dr. Govind Babu has a documented clinical interest in targeted cancer treatment.
Precision medicine uses tumour characteristics, biomarkers and molecular information to help select treatments that are more specifically suited to an individual patient's cancer.
Immunotherapy uses medicines that help the immune system recognise or attack cancer cells and may be considered for selected cancers based on tumour type, biomarkers and clinical indications.
Medical oncology treatment for solid tumours may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other systemic treatments selected according to the tumour type, stage and molecular characteristics.
Hemato-oncology focuses on cancers affecting the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system. Treatment may involve systemic anti-cancer medicines and other specialised therapies depending on the specific diagnosis.
Blood cancer treatment is planned according to the exact type and biological characteristics of the malignancy and may involve chemotherapy, targeted agents, immunotherapy or other specialised systemic therapies.
Personalized systemic cancer therapy considers factors such as tumour biology, biomarkers, previous treatment response and overall health when selecting medicines for an individual patient.
Combination cancer treatment may use more than one systemic therapy or combine medical oncology treatment with surgery or radiotherapy based on multidisciplinary recommendations.
Advanced cancer management may involve systemic treatment designed to control disease progression, reduce symptoms and improve outcomes while considering individual treatment goals and overall health.
