About
Oncology is a branch of medical science dealing with tumours, including the origin, development, diagnosis, and treatment of malignant neoplasms. Different types of doctors often work together to create a patient’s overall treatment plan that combines different types of treatments. Euracare provides Surgical Oncology services and cancer treatment using cutting-edge Interventional Radiology modalities. Interventional radiology may also be used to manage metastatic disease from a variety of cancers including those of the breast, colon, rectum, gallbladder, pancreas, lung, oesophagus and stomach, as well as melanoma and sarcoma. Interventional radiologists are specialists trained in using image-guided technology, such as X-rays, CT and MRI.
At Euracare, cancer diagnostic and treatment procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques. The benefits of minimally invasive surgery over “traditional”, open surgery are many and significant:
- Small incisions, few incisions, or no incision
- Less pain

WORLD CANCER DAY 2022
World Cancer Day is commemorated every year on February 4 to raise awareness, inspire change, and minimise cancer’s global effect. The primary goal of this day is to minimise cancer-related myths and prejudices, as well as to assist people in receiving accurate information about the disease. The global cancer epidemic is huge and is set to rise. Currently, 8.2 million people die from cancer worldwide every year, out of which 4 million are premature deaths (aged 30 to 69 years).
