Geriatric Oncology Treatment in Singapore
At Alami Clinic, we specialize in geriatric oncology, providing comprehensive care tailored to the unique needs of older adults with cancer. Advancing age is a risk factor for cancer, and our experienced geriatricians are here to assess your risk factors and recommend targeted screening tests. For those already diagnosed with cancer, we take a holistic approach to ensure the best outcomes.
Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) Before Treatment
We perform a complete geriatric assessment before starting cancer treatment, including chemotherapy. This detailed evaluation uncovers potential health issues that may not be immediately apparent to oncologists, helping to guide the treatment plan.
Research shows that CGA prior to chemotherapy leads to better tolerance and improved results.
Key Aspects of Our Geriatric Oncology Care
Nutritional Support
Nutrition plays a critical role in cancer care. Many older adults face nutrition issues due to the disease or its treatments. We assess your dietary habits, medication, swallowing, and digestion to develop a treatment plan that optimizes your nutrition through diet management and counseling.
Cognitive and Emotional Care
Cancer treatments can sometimes lead to confusion or memory problems. At Alami Clinic, we assess mood, cognitive function, and provide strategies to prevent and manage complications, ensuring emotional and mental well-being.
Post-Treatment Recovery
Cancer treatment doesn't end with remission. We focus on recovery, assessing both physical health and mental wellness to help you regain your strength and quality of life. Our goal is to make your journey beyond treatment as smooth and fulfilling as possible.
