Medical Oncology and Patient Care Approach
Medical oncology uses medicines to treat cancer. The appropriate treatment depends on the cancer type, stage, molecular characteristics, previous treatment, general health, and the patient’s individual treatment goals.
Dr. Bahl’s practice includes conventional chemotherapy as well as immunotherapy and targeted treatments. Biomarker or molecular testing may sometimes help determine whether a particular targeted medicine or immunotherapy approach is suitable.
His work also includes hormonal treatment for cancers that respond to hormone-related pathways and systemic therapy for blood cancers.
Cancer care often involves several specialties working together. Medical oncologists may coordinate treatment with surgical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, and supportive-care teams when planning treatment.
Supportive and palliative care can also form an important part of oncology, helping manage symptoms, treatment side effects, nutrition, pain, and quality-of-life concerns alongside cancer-directed therapy.
