What does cancer care do?

Cancer care involves identifying, staging, treating, and monitoring the disease while supporting your physical and emotional well-being. At King’s College Hospital Dubai, we provide a complete pathway that starts with an accurate diagnosis and continues through surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and survivorship follow-up. Every plan is personalized and discussed in our multidisciplinary meetings to ensure you receive care that meets the highest international standards.

When should you see an oncologist?

You should see our cancer specialists if you notice any unexplained lumps, weight loss, bleeding, or persistent pain. Many people also come to us for a second opinion after an abnormal scan or biopsy. Others visit after completing treatment elsewhere and need ongoing follow-up. Early review gives the best chance of successful treatment, so we encourage you to book an appointment as soon as possible if you have any concerns.
