At Manipal Hospitals, patients diagnosed with solid tumours undergo a comprehensive evaluation to determine tumour type, stage, and overall health status. This includes imaging, biopsy, and laboratory investigations to support treatment planning. Staging helps assess the extent of disease and guides appropriate treatment decisions.
A multidisciplinary team develops an individualised management plan. The choice of therapy depends on tumour characteristics, stage, and patient factors. Early-stage tumours may be treated effectively with surgery, while advanced cases often require a combination of therapies.
Solid tumour treatment may involve surgery to remove the tumour, followed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy to eliminate residual disease. Doctors may recommend targeted therapy or immunotherapy based on molecular profiling to improve treatment precision and outcomes.
Supportive care plays a crucial role in managing treatment-related side effects and maintaining quality of life. Nutritional support, pain management, and psychological counselling are integrated into care. Regular follow-up helps monitor treatment response, detect recurrence early, and adjust treatment strategies as needed.
