Medical Oncology focuses on the treatment of cancer using medicines and other systemic therapies. Depending on the type and stage of cancer, treatment may be used to control the disease, reduce the risk of recurrence, relieve symptoms or support other forms of cancer treatment.

At RushCare Hospitals, cancer treatment is planned around the individual’s diagnosis, overall health and treatment needs.

Evaluation and Diagnosis

Before treatment begins, the oncology team may review:

• Medical history and physical examination
• Biopsy and pathology reports
• Blood and laboratory investigations
• CT, MRI, PET or other imaging when required
• Cancer type and stage
• Previous treatments and medical conditions
• Overall health and treatment goals

This information helps the medical team understand the cancer and plan appropriate treatment.

Medical Cancer Treatment

Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include:

• Chemotherapy
• Targeted therapy
• Immunotherapy
• Hormonal therapy
• Oral anticancer medicines
• Combination treatment with surgery or radiation therapy

The choice of treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer, tumour characteristics, previous treatment and individual clinical factors.

Supportive Care During Treatment

Cancer treatment can affect different parts of the body and may cause side effects. Supportive care focuses on helping patients manage these effects and maintain their comfort during treatment.

This may include support for:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Fatigue
• Pain
• Changes in appetite
• Nutritional needs
• Treatment related infections or other complications
• Emotional and practical concerns

Patients are monitored throughout treatment so that concerns can be addressed appropriately.

When Should You See a Medical Oncologist?

A medical oncology consultation may be recommended if:

• You have been newly diagnosed with cancer
• A biopsy has confirmed cancer
• You have been advised to consider chemotherapy or other medical treatment
• Cancer has returned after previous treatment
• You need an opinion on available systemic treatment options
• You are undergoing cancer treatment and need ongoing monitoring

Care Through Every Stage of Treatment

A cancer diagnosis can bring many questions about treatment, side effects and what comes next. Understanding the treatment plan and knowing what to expect can make the process easier to navigate.

At RushCare Hospitals, our Medical Oncology service provides personalised cancer care with treatment planning, monitoring and supportive care based on each patient’s diagnosis and individual needs.
