Advanced Treatment Techniques

Medicover Hospital features advanced technology, well-known treatment procedures and the top specialists guaranteeing our patients the best results. The following are some of the essential ways we use in our cancer care program:

Chemotherapy: Targeting Cancer Cells

One of the most prevalent and effective treatments for cancer is chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment where our oncology team uses drugs to target and eliminate fast-dividing cancer cells. We create custom-designed chemotherapeutic regimes at Medicover Hospital according to the cancer type & stage and also on one's condition of health.

Targeted Therapy: Precision Medicine

Treatment that uses drugs or other substances to identify and attack specific cancer cells. This method can target a specific treatment area with fewer side effects relative to traditional chemotherapy. Our highly experienced cancer treatment specialists are trained to find the right targeted therapies that work best for an individual patient's needs and cancer.

Immunotherapy: Harnessing the Immune System

Immunotherapy is a groundbreaking approach to treating cancer. Immunotherapies work by enhancing the immune system's inherent capacity to detect and destroy cancer cells, which makes them very efficient in a select group of cancers. Our medical oncologists offer a wide range of immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitors (such as pembrolizumab), CAR-T cell therapy, and cancer vaccines.

Radiation Therapy: Advanced Techniques

Radiation therapy is integral to cancer treatment, and Medicover Hospital Suite of Radiations provides a variety of advanced radiation techniques that can enhance outcomes while minimizing side effects.

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)

A higher form of medical radiation is Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). IMRT can deliver higher doses to the tumour and reduce exposure of surrounding normal tissue by varying (modulating)the intensity of the radiation beams. This is especially applicable in the management of tumours adjacent to critical structures.

Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)

Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) concentrates powerful doses of radiation on a small, precisely defined tumour. The approach is commonly used with lesions of the lung, liver and spine that are often not surgically accessible. SBRT has the benefit of having a shorter treatment time with less number of fractions than conventional radiation therapy.

Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy delivers radioactive sources into or near the tumour. Because it delivers high doses of radiation specifically in the targeted area and spares surrounding healthy tissues from exposure. It is often used for prostate, cervical and breast cancers.

Comprehensive Support Services

Medicover Hospital is well aware that cancer care goes beyond medical treatment. We provide a variety of supportive services to meet the physical, emotional and psychological needs of our patients and their families.

Nutritional Support

Patients receiving treatment for cancer need to eat. Our team of dietitians offers individualized nutritional guidance to help patients stay strong, cope with treatment side effects and support overall vitality.

Pain Management

Pain management is a vital part of cancer care. Our pain management specialists collaborate with patients to create personalized plans that may involve medications, physical therapy and complementary treatments like acupuncture or massage.

Psychological Support

Hearing you have cancer can be as overwhelming emotionally. Our psychologists and counselors provide emotional support, coping strategies as well as counseling services to assist patients and their families in the cancer treatment journey.

Rehabilitation Services

Rehabilitation is a fundamental part of caring for cancer patients. It supports their restoration to strength and regaining movement/independence after treatment. Rehabilitation specialists conduct physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy to help patients recover faster and lead better quality of life.
