Malignant and benign tumors
In her practice, she diagnoses and treats malignant tumors, which can occur in organs such as the breast, lung, colon, and prostate. In addition, benign tumors, though non-cancerous, can also pose risks if they grow or affect surrounding tissues and organs; Dr. Medina carefully monitors these conditions.
Metastatic cancers
Dr. Medina treats patients with metastatic cancer, where cancer has spread beyond its original site, necessitating a more complex and systemic approach to treatment. For these patients, she develops personalized treatment plans that may include a combination of therapies aimed at controlling the disease and maintaining quality of life.
Complications related to cancer treatments
She is highly experienced in managing complications related to cancer treatments, such as neutropenia (a dangerous drop in white blood cells caused by chemotherapy), anemia, and the side effects of radiation.
