Chemotherapy
is the important aspect of cancer care. The department is
well versed with all the modes of chemotherapy. Resident
and nursing staff is specially trained to deal with infusions
and emergency care of side effects. Department specialises
in high dose chemotherapy and infusional chemotherapy. The
department plans chemotherapy using PICC lines or chemoports.
Management of leukemia is facilitated by the availability
of excellent blood component backup. High quality single donor
platelet, and other blood products are available round the
clock. As hospital is equipped with dialysis unit, cardiac
unit, most modern intensive care unit chemotherapy can be
safely given to patients with other concomitant ailments.
Like if patient has renal failure requiring dialysis, or high
blood pressure or history of previous heart surgery this department
is the most ideal place for treatment.
The department has special facility for day care chemotherapy.
Many schedules of treatment require only short term admissions.
To help the patients special day care beds are available,
where without formalities of admission patient can have chemotherapy
and go back home to his familiar environment.
The
hospital pharmacy stocks all important anticancer drugs. The
most important thing is availability of emergency supportive
drugs like growth factors, higher level antibiotics etc.
