His approach combines evidence-based oncology treatment with supportive and palliative care, with the goal of improving treatment tolerance, quality of life and long-term disease control wherever possible.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer medicines to destroy or control cancer cells and may be used alone or in combination with other treatments depending on cancer type and stage.

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy helps the immune system identify and attack cancer cells and may be used for selected cancers based on biomarkers and individual clinical factors.

Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy uses medicines that act on specific molecular or genetic abnormalities within cancer cells and is selected based on tumor testing where appropriate.

Hormone Therapy

Hormone therapy is used for hormone-sensitive cancers such as selected breast and prostate cancers and works by blocking or reducing hormonal stimulation of cancer cells.

Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast cancer treatment may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and hormone therapy depending on tumor subtype, receptor status and disease stage.
