Dr. R. Subramaniam, Consultant Medical Oncologist at Sooriya Hospital, leads the Department of Medical Oncology with a patient-focused, multidisciplinary approach to cancer treatment. Medical Oncology is a subspecialty of oncology that involves the medical management of cancer using advanced drug therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and monoclonal antibodies. Dr. Subramaniam evaluates each case thoroughly and develops personalized treatment plans tailored to the type and stage of cancer, the patient’s overall health, and treatment goals. In many cases, a combination of drugs is used to increase treatment effectiveness and reduce the risk of resistance. Chemotherapy is typically administered once every three weeks, over a course of approximately six months, though this may vary depending on individual needs. At Sooriya Hospital, all types of chemotherapy drugs are administered under expert supervision, with patient safety and comfort as top priorities. Dr. Subramaniam believes in involving patients in informed decision-making, ensuring they understand their treatment options and what to expect. With deep compassion, clinical expertise, and a commitment to holistic care, he and his team stand by every patient through one of life’s most challenging journeys—because no one should have to face cancer alone.
