The Hemato-Oncology Center

Although accidents and cardiovascular diseases claim more lives each year, the next leading cause of death is cancer. Many people may think of cancer as an incurable disease, but with early detection and optimal and intensive therapy, some cancers can be cured. Our Hemato-Oncology Center with its advanced facilities offers patients comprehensive cancer treatment protocols from diagnosis to effective intervention with renowned doctors and a highly trained specialized medical support team.

The Center provides:

• Screening and early detection with a range of comprehensive blood and diagnostic tests for virtually every type of cancer.

• Liver cancer treatment utilizing Transcatheter Oily Chemoembolization (TOCE) therapy, widely used as palliative therapy for inoperable hepatocellular carcinoma. The treatment involves the direct hepatic infusion of chemotherapeutic drugs via the hepatic artery or portal vein to the liver and subsequently to the tumor by the insertion of a small tube (catheter) into the blood vessel in the upper leg.

• Diagnostic bone marrow aspiration to reveal abnormalities in the patient’s hematopoietic stem cells.

• Insertion of an implantable port (port implant access), a device that is placed under the skin in either the upper arm or chest to deliver long-term medications, such as chemotherapy, into the bloodstream.

• Consultations with our team of health educators in our extensive pre- and post-therapy cancer treatment counseling programs and access to comprehensive educational materials covering every aspect of the disease and its treatment, including advice for the family (as some cancers can be genetically inherited), behavioral and environmental risk factors, and cancer screening programs.
