Day Care facility for Chemotherapy:
Chemotherapy is a type of cancer treatment in which drugs are used to prevent the multiplication of the cancer cells and make the patient cancer-free.
The chemotherapy daycare centre caters to wellness of cancer patients who are on short infusion therapies defined as less than 6 hrs of infusion time, and do not require night hospitalization. Such patients are given treatment in the daycare centre during the day time so that patient can go home the same day after their therapy. Cancer patients are treated by an experienced team of cancer chemotherapy specialists in Pune and nurses in the daycare. Chemotherapy at daycare is very economical and avoids the hospitalization charges. Patients can avoid waiting for a hospital appointment or standing in the long queue for admission.

Immunotherapy- a type of cancer treatment that helps your immune system fight cancer. The immune system helps your body fight infections and other diseases. It is made up of white blood cells and organs and tissues of the lymph system. Immunotherapy is a type of biological therapy which releases the brakes from the cells of the immune ( which were subdued by the cancer cells and unleashes their potential to destroy tumor cells. The side effect profile is peculiar but overall is better than most chemotherapy due to the lesser percentage of severe side effects.
Targeted therapies (both tablets and Injections)- Targeted therapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs. But it is different from traditional chemotherapy, which also uses drugs to treat cancer. Targeted therapy works by targeting cancer's specific genes, proteins, or the tissue environment that contributes to cancer growth and survival. Like Immunotherapy, it has lesser Side effects as compared to Immunotherapy.
Metronomic therapy (MT) refers to repetitive, low doses of chemotherapy drugs. MT exerts an effect not only on tumour cells but also on their microenvironment. In particular, the low-dose schedule compromises the repairing process of endothelial cells, leading to an anti-angiogenic effect.
