Oncology – cancer treatment

We prioritize prevention and early diagnosis and treatment of tumors. Early detection of cancer through monitoring plays a key role to achieve the best possible prognosis as well as minimizing the recovery period.

The most common type of cancer is breast cancer in women with 30.8% prevalance, second is Prostate cancer in men with 27.3% prevalence, third is lung cancer with 12.7% prevalence and fourth is colorectal cancer with prevalence of 8.5%. 

Comprehensive approach:

We practice an integrated combined approach to treat different types of cancer. We aim at providing the the least harmful anti-cancer therapy by titrating the dosage to each individual’s needs combined with concomitant therapy and surgical intervention when indicated. 

In case of cancer detection, our team of experienced oncologists and surgeons will select the optimal treatment plan for the patient which usually includes preoperative therapy, supervision, pharmacological therapy (chemotherapy), radiotherapy , consultation of related specialists, surgical intervention if indicated and postoperative monitoring. Our doctors are available around the clock to provide the necessary care and guidance to each and every patient.

DIEVO in-Patient department provides comfort and constant medical supervision. We also have a world class Intensive Care Unit (ICU) equipped and ready to manage and treat any critical situation.

Minimally Invasive Surgical Oncology: 

Minimally invasive surgical intervention in oncology aims to preserve the function of the organ in which the disease is detected. By deploying laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques we provide the least traumatic surgical intervention accelerating recovery time, minimizing pain and preserving healthy tissue. The main advantages of minimally invasive surgery for the patient are the following:

  • Preserving healthy tissue. 
  • Minimizing post operative pain and complications.
  • Acceleration of recovery period and restoration of normal daily activities. 

International guidelines of cancer treatment: 

Oncologists and surgeons at the DIEVO follow the latest guidelines and protocols approved by Ukrainian Ministry of Health for cancer treatment and management.

  • General weakness
  • Chronic pain of various localization
  • Unintended weight loss over a short period
  • Chronic anemia. That might manifest as pale skin color. 
  • Visible blood when coughing, vomiting, defecating or urinating. 
  • Enlarged lymphnodes such as the ones in axillary, supraclavicular or inguinal regions.
  • Lumps in the breast. 
  • Unexplainable blood or urine test results.

For an expert timely diagnosis, oncologists at the Dievo Center for Surgical Solutions draw up a plan for a general clinical examination, laboratory and instrumental studies, and oncological screening as necessary and appropriate.

Early diagnosis is an effective preventive measure of cancer development and a guarantee of successful cancer treatment. Routine examinations, such as ultrasound or colonoscopy, can detect cancer, tumors or polyps at an early stage.
