Oncology

Introduction

We treat cancer patients at every step of their journey, from diagnosis, choice of therapy, medical and/or surgical treatment and post-therapeutic follow-up. Doctors Hospital’s Oncologist, Dr Sanjay Awasthi, has over 30 years experience in cancer care and has conducted award-winning research in Oncology. He is devoted to serving every patient through diagnosis and personalised treatment plans. Treatments may involve a single or a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, or chemotherapy.

Treatment and care are administered based on a multidisciplinary approach that mobilizes all of the hospital’s specialists and diagnostic and testing services to ensure patients benefit from the highest possible levels of quality and safety.

Our ambition is nothing less than a cancer-free Cayman, which means the proactive prevention, detection, and treatment of cancer in our community. This is why we work closely with the Cayman Islands Cancer Society and the Breast Cancer Foundaton.
