Medical oncology
The Clinic of Medical Oncology has proven itself over time as an integral and very essential part of the structure of Nadezhda Hospital. Patients from different parts of Bulgaria are treated here, not only with the medications registered in the country, but also with the most advanced drug protocols through participation in clinical trials.
About the clinic
The clinic employs doctors with many years of experience in the treatment of oncologic diseases, who in their practice use a wide range of imaging and laboratory tests to achieve accurate diagnosis and strict follow-up of the therapy being administered. All this ensures patients have access to state-of-the-art treatment, fully funded by the NHIF, with a relaxed hospital stay and under the care of a multidisciplinary team.
Drug treatment (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy) of breast, gynaecological and urological tumors, lung cancer, colon cancer, and other localizations, is administered in a modern working environment.
The clinic has a day outpatient facility and inpatient rooms, equipped with private bathrooms and a tablet in each bed, offering access to Internet and TV.
Team
The Clinic of Medical Oncology at Nadezhda Hospital and its specialists are partners in demand for research teams in international clinical trials for the development of new and advanced drugs in the field of oncology. Our patients often are among the first in Bulgaria to have the opportunity to receive treatment with the newest types of drugs, even before these drugs are routinely used.
01
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is the use of anticancer drugs to treat cancer. It works in two ways: it stops the growth of the tumor and prevents tumor cells from spreading to other parts of the body (metastasising).
02
Hormone therapy
The term ‘hormone therapy’ has gained popularity, but in practice this type of treatment is an anti-hormone treatment and is often aimed not at stimulating, but rather suppressing the body’s hormone production.
03
Targeted therapy
Targeted therapy is a new type of therapy on which individualized medicine is based. It is a type of anti-cancer treatment that specifically targets the changes in a cancer cell that make it grow, divide and metastasize.
04
Immunotherapy
One of the reasons cancer cells develop is that they have the ability to protect themselves from the immune system. Certain types of immunotherapy can mark cancer cells so that they become recognizable to the immune system, which then more easily detects and destroys them.
05
Clinical trials
The Clinic of Medical Oncology at Nadezhda Hospital and its specialists are sought-after partners in the research teams of international clinical trials that develop new and advanced drugs in the field of oncology. Often our patients are among the first in Bulgaria to have the opportunity to receive treatment with new types of drugs even before they are routinely used.
