About Our Cancer Care Department

A Center of Excellence in Oncology

The Cancer Care Department at Rosario Medical Center is dedicated to delivering comprehensive cancer services under one roof. Our team of highly trained oncologists, surgeons, nurses, and support staff work together to offer personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique diagnosis.

We provide a full spectrum of oncology services including medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, palliative care, and cancer rehabilitation. Our department utilizes the latest evidence-based protocols and advanced technology to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.

Beyond treatment, we are committed to cancer prevention and early detection through community outreach programs, health screenings, and patient education. Our supportive care services — including nutritional counseling, psychological support, and pain management — address the holistic needs of patients and their families throughout every stage of the cancer journey.
