Cancer Care (Medical Oncology) in Ipoh

Medical oncology plays a central role in cancer care. Unlike surgical oncology or radiation oncology, medical oncology uses medications that travel through the bloodstream to target cancer cells throughout the body. These treatments are designed not only to eliminate or control cancer, but also to reduce recurrence risk and improve long-term survival outcomes.

Types of Cancer Treatments Offered

• Chemotherapy – Uses specialised anti-cancer drugs to destroy rapidly growing cancer cells or prevent them for multiplying.
• Targeted therapy – Targets specific genetic mutations or proteins that drive cancer growth, allowing for more precise and often less toxic treatment.
• Immunotherapy – Stimulates the body’s immune system to recognise and attack cancer cells more effectively.
• Hormonal therapy – Used for hormone-sensitive cancers such as breast and prostate cancer to block cancer growth signals.
