Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy helps the immune system recognise and attack cancer cells. It may be recommended for selected cancers depending on tumour type, biomarkers and stage of disease.

Targeted Therapy

Targeted therapy acts on specific molecular changes involved in cancer growth. Molecular or biomarker testing may help identify patients who could benefit from these treatments.

Breast Cancer Treatment

Dr. Sanketh Kotne provides systemic treatment for breast cancer using chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other medical oncology treatments according to tumour subtype and disease stage.

Lung Cancer Treatment

Medical treatment for lung cancer may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy. Molecular testing may help guide treatment in suitable patients.

Genitourinary Cancer Treatment

Dr. Sanketh Kotne treats selected prostate, kidney, bladder and other genitourinary cancers using chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and other systemic treatments.

Lymphoma Treatment

Lymphoma treatment may include chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy or other systemic approaches depending on whether the patient has Hodgkin lymphoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma or another subtype.

Leukemia Treatment

Dr. Sanketh Kotne manages selected leukemia cases using systemic therapy based on leukemia subtype, risk profile and patient condition.

Multiple Myeloma Treatment

Multiple myeloma treatment may involve combinations of targeted medicines, immunomodulatory agents, chemotherapy and other therapies depending on disease characteristics.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation may be used for selected blood cancers and other serious hematological disorders. Dr. Sanketh Kotne has clinical experience in HSCT-related management.

Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy involves placing a radiation source close to or within the tumour area. Dr. Sanketh Kotne has completed specialised fellowship training in brachytherapy and uses this technique for suitable cancer cases.
