Medical Oncology

At JJ Cancer Center, our Medical Oncology department is at the forefront of delivering advanced, evidence-based treatment options to patients diagnosed with various types of cancer. Discover our personalized treatment plans that are tailored to each patient’s unique cancer type, stage, and genetic profile.

Our Approach to Medical Oncology

Our Medical Oncology team at JJ Cancer Center is dedicated to providing precise and effective treatments using medications such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Each patient receives a plan tailored to their unique needs, ensuring optimal outcomes and minimized side effects.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is one of the most well-known forms of cancer treatment. It involves the use of powerful drugs to destroy cancer cells, prevent them from growing, and shrink tumors. At JJ Cancer Center, our medical oncologists take a highly individualized approach to chemotherapy. Each patient’s treatment is tailored based on the type of cancer, its stage, and how it responds to therapy.
We offer both outpatient and inpatient chemotherapy services, ensuring comfort and convenience. Our infusion suites are designed to create a calming environment, and our staff closely monitors patients during treatment to manage any side effects that may arise. The goal of chemotherapy can vary—sometimes it’s used to cure cancer, other times to shrink tumors before surgery, or to control the disease when it’s at an advanced stage. Regardless of the situation, our experts ensure that the chemotherapy regimen chosen is both effective and manageable for the patient.

Immunotherapy

Immunotherapy is one of the most promising advances in cancer treatment, and JJ Cancer Center is proud to offer this cutting-edge service. Unlike chemotherapy, which attacks cancer cells directly, immunotherapy works by boosting or modifying the body’s natural defenses to fight cancer. This approach is particularly effective for cancers such as melanoma, lung cancer, and some types of kidney cancer.
Our oncologists conduct thorough testing to determine if a patient’s cancer expresses certain biomarkers that would make them a good candidate for immunotherapy. We offer various types of immunotherapy, including checkpoint inhibitors and CAR T-cell therapy, and monitor patients closely to ensure the best possible response. For patients eligible for this treatment, immunotherapy can offer long-term remission and, in some cases, a potential cure, even for cancers that were previously considered resistant to treatment.

Targeted Therapy

One of the most precise forms of cancer treatment, targeted therapy works by identifying and attacking specific genetic mutations or proteins that drive cancer growth. Unlike chemotherapy, which affects both cancerous and healthy cells, targeted therapy focuses solely on the cancer cells, leading to fewer side effects and more effective results.
At JJ Cancer Center, we employ advanced genomic testing to analyze a patient’s tumor at the molecular level. This allows us to identify specific mutations or markers that can be targeted with drugs designed to inhibit cancer growth. This is especially effective for cancers like breast cancer (HER2-positive), lung cancer (EGFR mutations), and certain types of leukemia. By disrupting the cancer’s growth pathways, targeted therapies can often slow or stop cancer progression, offering patients a more tolerable and effective treatment option.

Palliative Therapy

At JJ Cancer Center, we recognize that for some patients, cancer may be too advanced to be cured. In these cases, our Medical Oncology team focuses on palliative therapy, which is designed to relieve symptoms and improve the patient’s quality of life. This can include pain management, alleviation of side effects, and emotional and psychological support.
Palliative care is an integral part of our oncology services, and it is provided alongside curative treatments when needed. Our team ensures that patients with advanced cancer maintain the highest possible quality of life by managing pain, nausea, fatigue, and other symptoms. Whether through medications, nutritional support, or counseling, we are committed to providing holistic care that addresses the needs of the patient and their family.
