About Dr Khalid Munir
(Top Expert on this page)

Expertise
I can answer questions about the correct guideline for treatment of a certain type of cancer to achieve good results. I can analyse signs and symptoms to identify cancer. I can recommend preventive measures to avoid getting this disease. I can tell about many good treatment methods which have been developed recently through cancer research.

Experience
I have been working as a Oncologist with ICT New Delhi since the last two eras. I have experience of treating cancer patients through a variety of methods. My patients have been treated with radiation therapy, chemotherapy and surgery. I am also trained in Immunotherapy of cancer which is a recognized treatment method as per the guidelines of the American Cancer Society (ww.cancer.org). It is being given at only few places in the world. Immunotherapy works by enhancing the body's own defence mechanism hundreds of times.
