Dr. Adel Ibrahim practices in all three, so the physician treating your cancer or blood disorder is the same one keeping an eye on everything else — from your blood pressure to how you are really doing.
Most patients bring other conditions with them, and treatment can stir up new ones: low blood counts, clotting risks, blood sugar that will not settle. Because Dr. Ibrahim practices hematology, medical oncology, and internal medicine, those problems are handled in one place, by one physician who already knows your history — without a referral loop.
Diagnosis, treatment planning, and ongoing care for cancer — chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted and hormone therapy, given here in Lincroft.
Evaluation and treatment of blood disorders, from anemia and clotting problems to leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.
Care for the conditions that travel with you through treatment — heart, kidney, thyroid, diabetes — managed by the same physician.
Every plan starts with a careful review of your pathology, imaging, and staging, and a conversation in plain language about what the options are and what each one asks of you. From there, treatment is given here in our infusion suite, monitored closely, and changed when your results or your priorities change.
A full review of what you already have, an honest explanation of what it means, and a clear set of options. Bringing a family member is encouraged.
Given in our infusion suite by oncology-trained nurses, with anti-nausea medication and side-effect planning arranged before your first cycle.
Treatments that help your own immune system recognize and attack cancer cells, with close monitoring for immune-related side effects.
Medicines matched to the specific mutations or markers found in your tumor, chosen after molecular testing where it applies.
For hormone-sensitive cancers such as breast and prostate, including long-term management and bone-health monitoring.
We work directly with your surgeon, radiation oncologist, and primary care physician, so every part of the plan moves in step.
Many patients come to us because a routine blood test came back abnormal and no one has yet explained why. We start there: finding the cause, telling you plainly whether it is something to watch or something to treat, and treating it when it is.
Not every hematology referral is cancer — many are not — and we say so as early as we can.
An oncologist who is also an internist does not have to send you elsewhere when something outside the cancer comes up. Blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid, heart and kidney function all affect what treatment you can safely have — and treatment affects them back. Managing both together means fewer appointments, fewer handoffs, and one physician who has the whole picture.
Hypertension, diabetes, thyroid disease, and heart or kidney conditions managed alongside your cancer or blood disorder, with medications adjusted as treatment changes.
A pre-treatment evaluation of your overall health, so chemotherapy, surgery, or radiation can be planned with your other conditions in mind.
A reconciliation of everything you take, prescribed or over the counter, to avoid interactions with your treatment.
Long-term monitoring once active treatment ends, including watching for late effects and keeping up with routine preventive care.
Most chemotherapy and immunotherapy is given right here, in a quiet suite with reclining chairs, a nurse always within sight, and room for someone to sit with you. Knowing the routine takes some of the dread out of the first visit.
Your bloodwork is usually drawn a day or two ahead, so results are back and your treatment can be prepared on time.
A nurse goes over how you have felt since the last visit and confirms your counts are safe before anything is started.
Blankets, a warm drink, and a nurse who checks on you throughout. Bring a book, a tablet, or a family member — all three are welcome.
You go home knowing which side effects to expect, what to do about them, and exactly who to call if something worries you.
How you feel between treatments matters as much as the treatment itself. Supportive care runs alongside everything else we do, and it is available from the first visit — not only when things get hard.
