Diagnostics
We understand that timely and accurate diagnostics are crucial in the fight against
cancer. Our comprehensive cancer workups are designed to provide a thorough evaluation, precise diagnosis, and personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient unique needs.
The Importance of Diagnostics:
Accurate diagnosis is the first step toward effective treatment. Our state-of-the-art
diagnostic technologies and expertise allow us to detect cancer at its earliest stages,
determine the extent of the disease, and identify specific biomarkers that guide
treatment decisions.
Our Diagnostic Services Include:
-
1. Imaging Studies:
Advanced imaging techniques such as CT scans, MRI, PET scans, and ultrasound provide detailed pictures of internal structures to locate tumours and assess their size and spread. -
2. Biopsy and Pathology:
Tissue biopsy procedures, guided by imaging or other methods, are performed to obtain samples for laboratory analysis. Pathologists analyse these samples to confirm the presence of cancer, determine its type and subtype, and assess its aggressiveness.
-
3. Genetic Testing:
Molecular and genetic testing helps identify specific mutations or biomarkers within tumours. This information is critical in selecting targeted therapies and predicting treatment response. -
4. Blood Tests:
Blood biomarker tests, such as tumour markers and genetic tests, can provide additional information about the presence and progression of cancer.
We strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for every patient, ensuring that you receive the highest quality of care in a supportive and compassionate environment.
Our practice is built on a foundation of empathy, understanding
and a commitment to delivering outstanding medical care.
