Tailored treatments, compassionate care Your journey through radiation oncology

A cancer diagnosis is an emotional whirlwind that affects not only the individual but also the entire support system. At Trust-in Hospital, we recognise the profound impact of this journey and are committed to providing individualised and affordable cancer care. In our Oncology Department, we adopt an integrated approach, combining medical, surgical, and radiation oncology to ensure comprehensive and personalised treatment. In this blog, we delve into the empowering choices offered by radiation oncology, shedding light on its efficacy, after-effects, and the role it plays in enhancing the quality of life for cancer patients.

Understanding Radiation Oncology:

Radiation oncology, commonly known as radiation therapy, is a pivotal component in cancer treatment. It involves the use of high doses of radiation to target and destroy cancer cells while minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue. This precision is crucial, and our specialised team of radiation oncologists at Trust-in Hospital ensures that each patient receives a tailored treatment plan.

Empowering Choices in Radiation Oncology:

1. Precise Cancer Diagnosis:

• At Trust-in Hospital, our comprehensive cancer screening includes a thorough diagnosis to determine the type and stage of cancer accurately. This forms the foundation for developing an effective treatment plan.

1. Multidisciplinary Tumour Board:

• Our tumour board, comprising medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists, engages in collaborative discussions to tailor patient-specific treatment plans. This multidisciplinary approach ensures a holistic strategy for combating cancer.

1. Minimally Invasive Surgery:

• When surgery is deemed necessary, we prioritise minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic surgery. This approach enhances recovery times, reduces postoperative discomfort, and contributes to an improved overall patient experience.

After Effects of Radiotherapy:

Understanding the after-effects of radiotherapy is crucial for patients and their families. While radiation therapy is designed to target cancer cells, it can also affect nearby healthy tissue. Common after-effects may include:

1. Fatigue:

Radiation therapy can lead to fatigue, which may persist even after treatment concludes. Rest, proper nutrition, and regular exercise are essential to managing fatigue.

1. Skin Changes:

Skin in the treated area may become sensitive, red, or irritated. Our oncology team provides guidance on skincare practises to alleviate discomfort.

1. Long-Term Side Effects:

Depending on the type and location of treatment, some patients may experience long-term side effects. Trust-in Hospital's oncology experts prioritise ongoing monitoring and support to manage these effects effectively.

A Holistic Approach to Cancer Care:

Beyond radiation therapy, Trust-in Hospital offers holistic cancer care services, including:

• Surgical oncology for targeted and minimally invasive procedures

• Medical oncology for systemic cancer treatment

• Palliative care to alleviate pain and improve quality of life.

Our commitment to preserving patient dignity and providing multi-disciplinary care extends to every stage of the cancer journey. At Trust-in Hospital, we empower cancer patients with informed choices, personalised treatment plans, and a compassionate approach that focuses on enhancing their overall well-being.

Conclusion:

Empowering cancer patients through radiation oncology is a cornerstone of our commitment at Trust-in Hospital. By blending precision with compassion, we aim to provide not just treatment but a comprehensive support system for individuals facing the challenges of cancer. Trust-in for a journey towards healing, hope, and renewed life.
