Cancer Care Journey
From routine screening and evaluation of symptoms to a second opinion or further assessment after an abnormal test; people visit Apollo Cancer Centres for many reasons. Our specialists review the medical history, assess individual risk, and recommend appropriate screening or diagnostic tests. If cancer is diagnosed, the team develops a personalised treatment plan based on the patient’s needs.
If cancer is diagnosed, specialists from different disciplines review the findings together. The treatment plan is based on the type and stage of cancer, relevant test results, overall health, and the patient’s needs and preferences. The team explains the available options, expected benefits, possible side effects, and next steps.
Treatment may include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy, or a combination of treatments. The recommended approach depends on the cancer and the individual patient. Throughout treatment, the care team monitors progress, manages side effects, and adjusts the plan when clinically required.
Supportive care helps patients manage the physical and emotional effects of cancer and its treatment. Services may include pain and symptom management, nutrition guidance, psychological support, rehabilitation, and palliative care. Support is tailored to the needs of patients and their families and may be provided at any stage of care.
Follow-up care helps assess the response to treatment, manage any ongoing or delayed side effects, and monitor recovery. Depending on individual needs, it may include consultations, examinations, blood tests, imaging, rehabilitation, and lifestyle guidance. The care team also explains symptoms that should be reported between appointments.
Support continues after active treatment ends. Survivorship care may include regular follow-ups, management of long-term treatment effects, emotional support, rehabilitation, and guidance on nutrition, physical activity, and returning to daily life. Each follow-up plan is personalised according to the cancer, treatment received, and individual health needs.
