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 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 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 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.
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.
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.
Our Medical Oncology department is renowned for its multidisciplinary
approach. Every patient’s treatment plan is discussed in our tumor
board meetings, ensuring that medical oncologists, radiation
oncologists, and surgeons work together to craft the most effective
and personalized care plans. By incorporating cutting-edge therapies
such as immunotherapy and targeted therapy alongside traditional
chemotherapy, we ensure that every patient receives the most advanced
treatment available.
At JJ Cancer Center, we take pride in offering a comprehensive
approach to cancer care. From diagnosis to treatment and palliative
care, our medical oncologists are dedicated to providing
compassionate, expert care to every patient, giving them the best
chance at recovery and a good quality of life.
