Hemato Oncology
The Hematology Oncology department at ILS hospitals provides specialist care to patients suffering from blood cancers. Our core specialists, highly skilled in the diagnosis, treatment, and management of various blood cancers, are equipped with the latest technology to ensure proper operation and optimal outcomes for patients. Our doctors collaborate to create personalised treatment programs for each patient, combining their knowledge of the latest medical advances. They are supported by well-trained oncology nurses who educate patients and their families, administer chemotherapy, and provide emotional support during the treatment and follow-up visits.
The department operates primarily through a diverse approach that includes diagnostics, therapy, and supportive care. We believe that a correct diagnosis is critical in cancer treatment. Our approach includes several blood tests, bone marrow biopsies, genetic analyses, and imaging such as PET scans. These parameters enable us to detect and treat cancer at an early stage.
Our Services
Diagnosis of blood cancers like:
- Leukemia (Blood and bone marrow cancer)
- Lymphoma (Lymphatic system cancer)
- Myeloma (Plasma cell cancer )
- Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
- Myeloproliferative Disorders (disorders in which the bone marrow produces too many red blood cells, white blood cells, or platelets).
Blood cancers are accurately diagnosed using advanced diagnostic techniques, including bone marrow biopsy, flow cytometry, and cytogenetic testing.
- Chemotherapy and targeted therapy: Our department offers chemotherapy for various hematologic cancers. Targeted medicines act on specific chemicals involved in cancer cell proliferation, providing more precise treatment with fewer side effects.
- Stem Cell/Bone Marrow Transplant: This procedure is used to treat blood cancer, either by using the patient’s stem cells or by obtaining cells from a healthy donor. Bone marrow transplants are essential for patients with relapsed or resistant cancer.
- Blood transfusion services: Our department administers blood transfusions to patients suffering from anemia, leukemia, and other blood-related illnesses. Platelet and red blood cell transfusions are administered as needed, particularly to patients undergoing chemotherapy.
- Management of anemia and blood disorders: We treat and manage a variety of anemias, including sickle cell disease and thalassemia. Iron therapy, blood transfusions, and bone marrow stimulation are utilized to treat individuals with certain chronic diseases.
- Immunotherapy for blood cancers: Certain types of blood cancers, such as leukemia and lymphoma, are treated with advanced immunotherapy techniques such as CAR-T cell therapy. This treatment boosts the immune system’s ability to fight cancer cells.
- Radiation therapy: This procedure is used to treat blood-related malignancies, such as lymphoma. It can be employed alone or in combination with chemotherapy and stem cell transplantation.
- Palliative care: Palliative treatment can help manage symptoms and enhance the quality of life for individuals with advanced blood cancers. These treatment modalities involve pain management, emotional and psychological support, and dealing with any problems resulting from the disease or therapy.
