Oncology Services
Understanding cancer treatment, step by step — from diagnosis to advanced therapies. Our medical oncology services include chemotherapy treatment for solid tumors and blood cancers. Patients evaluating providers should read what to look for when choosing an oncologist — credentials, transplant experience, treatment philosophy, and the questions worth asking before you commit to a care team. If you'd like a fresh read on a diagnosis or treatment plan, our second opinion service for cancer patients reviews your reports independently. For Dr. Madhav's TV and press coverage, visit Media.
Treatment approaches — what we offer. For the disease itself (warning signs, biology, treatment by cancer type), see Cancer Types We Treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between medical oncology, hemato-oncology, and a transplant programme?
Medical oncology covers systemic treatment for solid tumours — chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy. Hemato-oncology covers blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma. A stem cell transplant is a procedure used within hemato-oncology when high-dose chemotherapy or an immune-system reset is needed. Dr. Madhav Danthala practises across all three.
What is CAR-T cell therapy, and who is it for?
CAR-T uses a patient's own immune cells, re-engineered in a lab to recognise and kill cancer. It is most established in relapsed or resistant blood cancers — B-cell lymphoma, B-cell ALL, and multiple myeloma. It requires a specialised centre and is offered to selected patients after standard treatments have not worked.
How is chemotherapy decided and delivered?
Chemotherapy is given in cycles, with the dose and combination tailored to the cancer type, stage, biomarker profile, and the patient's general health. It can be intravenous or oral, in day-care or sometimes at home, and is routinely paired with anti-nausea, growth-factor, and supportive medications.
How do I get a second opinion?
Use the Second Opinion service, where you upload your pathology, imaging, and current treatment plan. Dr. Madhav reviews the file and issues a written summary you can share with your treating oncologist — confirming the plan or surfacing an alternative.
