“Parkway Cancer Centre Emphasizes the Impact of Multidisciplinary Cancer Care“.
Singapore/Bengaluru, July 11, 2025: With over 1.4 million cancer cases reported in India each year—most diagnosed at advanced stages—treatment often becomes complex and challenging. To address this, Parkway Cancer Centre (PCC) in Singapore highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care, which integrates multiple medical specialties to improve patient outcomes and streamline treatment.
This model involves collaborative planning and execution by a team of oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, counselors, and other specialists. It not only enhances clinical outcomes but also significantly reduces emotional and logistical strain for patients and their families.
“A multidisciplinary approach simplifies a patient’s treatment journey,” said Dr. Ang Peng Tiam, Senior Consultant and Medical Director at Parkway Cancer Centre. “For instance, a patient with HER2-positive breast cancer may otherwise need to coordinate separately with multiple specialists. In a multidisciplinary setup, everything—from diagnosis to surgery and post-operative care—is planned cohesively, saving time and easing emotional stress.”
Closing Gaps in Cancer Care
PCC’s model also addresses critical healthcare disparities in India, particularly between urban and rural areas. By leveraging virtual multidisciplinary teams, the Centre is helping local doctors in underserved areas develop effective and timely treatment strategies, thereby expanding access to quality care.
Key Advantages of Multidisciplinary Care:
Tailored Treatment Plans: Every patient receives care customized to their genetic profile, lifestyle, and clinical needs.
Collaborative Decision-Making: A panel of experts evaluates each case, resulting in informed, evidence-based treatment strategies.
Efficient Care Coordination: Seamless scheduling of diagnostics, procedures, and follow-ups minimizes delays and reduces patient stress.
Comprehensive Support: Beyond medical treatment, patients receive emotional, nutritional, and palliative care to support their overall wellbeing.
Parkway Cancer Centre, a pioneer in multidisciplinary cancer care, remains committed to raising the standard of oncology services in India. By combining medical expertise with compassionate support, PCC ensures that each patient receives integrated and effective care from diagnosis to recovery.
