Medical Oncology

The Medical Oncology and Chemotherapy Department at Masina Hospital is dedicated to providing advanced and effective treatment for various types of cancer. Chemotherapy, a powerful drug treatment that targets fast-growing cells in the body, is often recommended by doctors to combat cancer. Many cancer types, including leukemia, lymphoma, breast cancer, and lung cancer, can be effectively treated with chemotherapy. However, it's essential to be aware that chemotherapy can carry some risks and side effects.

Procedures
Chemotherapy is a complex medical procedure used to treat cancer by targeting and killing cancer cells with specialized drugs. This treatment may be administered alone or in combination with other therapies like radiation, surgery, or immunotherapy. Patients undergoing chemotherapy receive drugs through an IV line, orally, or by injection. These drugs are designed to selectively kill rapidly dividing cells like cancer cells while minimizing harm to healthy cells. Common side effects of chemotherapy include nausea, fatigue, hair loss, and anaemia.

The hospital has a dedicated Chemotherapy unit with monitoring and bio-safety protocols. Expert oncologists plan effective treatment and ensure safety during these procedures. The day care setting in a hospital environment allows complications and adverse events to be safely handled.
The hospital is committed to give the best quality and value for the cancer patients seeking treatment.
