Oncology

What is oncology

Oncology is the specialised branch of medicine dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and compassionate care of patients with cancer. Oncologists and their dedicated healthcare teams use advanced technologies and innovative therapies to detect cancer at its earliest stages, offer targeted treatment strategies, and provide comprehensive emotional and physical support throughout each patient’s cancer journey.

Busamed oncology specialists collaborate closely with multidisciplinary teams, including surgeons, radiation therapists, medical physicists, radiologists, and nurses, to deliver holistic, individualised cancer care. Whether the goal is cure, long-term control, or symptom alleviation in advanced stages, our approach always centres on delivering effective, compassionate, and patient-focused care.

The Busamed Oncology Centre at Hillcrest Private Hospital features the state-of-the-art Halcyon 2.0 platform, offering enhanced imaging technology and highly precise radiation therapy. With patient comfort as a priority, Halcyon 2.0 generates advanced radiation treatments rapidly and with exceptional accuracy, particularly helpful for cancers such as breast, prostate, gastrointestinal, and gynaecological tumours.

In addition, our chemotherapy units are staffed by highly experienced oncology nursing specialists and pharmacists who deliver tailored treatment plans with kindness and compassion. Holistic care and a personal touch are central to our mission, ensuring patient comfort and comprehensive emotional support throughout the oncology treatment journey. Busamed constantly invests in the latest innovations and training to ensure our treatments align with international standards and best practices in cancer care.
