Cancer is a widely prevalent disease today with many people affected by various forms of cancers. Early diagnosis and focus on disciplined treatment are essential. The Oncological expertise available at the Capstone Clinic is a strong combination of medical, surgical and emotional support that is effective in fighting cancer.

An uncontrolled and abnormal growth of cells in the body leads to the formation of a tumour. This can be either non-cancerous (benign) or cancerous (malignant). Malignant tumours can grow rapidly and spread through the bloodstream to other parts of the body such as the bones, liver, lungs or brain. Some types of cancer however do not form a tumour, such as leukaemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. Cancer can be diagnosed using a combination of physical examination, laboratory tests, imaging tests such as bone scan, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan, Computerized Tomography (CT) scan, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), ultrasound, X-ray and biopsy.

At the Capstone Clinic we understand that a cancer-diagnosis can be life-changing and we attempt to not merely treat the disease but also to address the intensity of emotions. Alongside accurate diagnosis and effective treatment we place high value on empathy in the treatment care plan.
