Supportive cancer Care

Supportive cancer care is an essential part of holistic hematologic cancer management. It focuses on improving the comfort, functionality, and overall well-being of patients undergoing treatment for blood cancers such as leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. While primary therapies like chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy aim to control or cure the disease, supportive care manages the side effects, psychological stress, nutritional needs, and complications that arise from the disease or its treatment. This form of care is personalized and dynamic, changing with each patient’s stage of illness and treatment plan. It involves close coordination among hematologists, palliative care specialists, nutritionists, psychologists, and nursing teams.

What is a Supportive cancer Care?

Supportive care not only helps reduce discomfort but also improves treatment adherence and outcomes by ensuring patients are physically and emotionally equipped to continue with their medical therapy.

Dr. Arijit Bishnu and his team use advanced diagnostics, such as genetic testing and molecular profiling, to determine whether targeted therapy is right for a patient. Treatment is then closely monitored and adjusted based on response and tolerance :
Medical History Review: Understanding your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history to assess any underlying conditions that may be contributing to the menstrual issues.

Treatment of specific blood cancers - Used in conditions such as chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), certain lymphomas, and myeloproliferative neoplasms.

Molecular targeting - Focuses on proteins, genes, or cellular pathways that drive abnormal blood cell growth or survival.

Genetic testing required -Requires molecular diagnostics to identify the presence of targetable mutations or markers.

Fewer side effects than chemotherapy - Typically spares normal cells, leading to lower risk of hair loss, nausea, or widespread immune suppression.

Key advancement in personalized medicine - Allows hematologists to match treatment to each patient’s unique disease profile for optimal outcomes.
