Endless Dedication. Expert Treatment.

Department of Oncology

It takes a team to fight cancer. Doctors, nurses, counsellors, nutritionists, physiotherapists, lab-personnel, radiologists, technicians, researchers, engineers and scientists. Family and friends too, and others who have walked in your shoes. At the Billroth Hospitals, we know what it takes to beat cancer. And we believe in cancer care that does not give up.

At Billroth Hospitals, we have the latest and most comprehensive set-ups for diagnosing and staging cancer in all its forms. The sophisticated laboratory, manned by expert technicians, enables the study of the disease at a molecular level. This gives our patients a head start as our oncologists are able to formulate, track and adapt their treatments based on their response.

Medical Oncology

Billroth Hospitals offers the latest chemotherapeutic treatments, including sophisticated medications that target specific cancer cells and spare the normal ones. Pre-medications to control and offset side-effects enable our patients to complete their treatment cycles without the dreaded side-effects.

Surgical Oncology

Overview

Surgery is the most important component in the treatment of solid-organ cancers. Without it, cure is not a realistic possibility. At Billroth Hospitals, our surgeons work to preserve as much of the patients’ organs as possible in order to give them a better quality of life.

Radiation Oncology

Radiation therapy may be prescribed as the sole treatment for treating cancer, or combined with other treatments such as surgery and/or chemotherapy. At Billroth Hospitals, we offer our patients the revolutionary radiotherapy which enables unprecedented levels of precision, accuracy and control, thus increasing the effectiveness of the treatment with fewer side-effects.
