Transforming the landscape of cancer care

Vikas Singh, MD, began his journey into oncology with a profound realization during his medical training. His commitment to cancer care was ignited while rounding in the hematology oncology department, where he discovered his calling to support and heal patients facing the most challenging moments of their lives.

Driven by a deep empathy for his patients, Dr. Singh views his role not merely as a job, but as a vocation to provide comfort and hope during times of darkness. He recognizes the devastating impact of a cancer diagnosis and strives to be a beacon of support, guiding patients through their journey of healing and recovery.

Specializing in genitourinary (GU) oncology, Dr. Singh focuses on cancers affecting the urinary tract and male reproductive organs—conditions that profoundly impact patients globally and require specialized care. His approach integrates advanced techniques such as targeted immunotherapy, which harnesses the body's immune system with precision to identify and attack cancer cells specifically. This innovative method enhances the body's natural defenses against cancer while minimizing the side effects often associated with traditional chemotherapy.

"Unlike traditional chemotherapy that broadly targets all rapidly dividing cells, targeted immunotherapy offers a more refined and effective treatment," Dr. Singh explains. "Moreover, combining targeted immunotherapy with other therapies enhances overall efficacy and broadens treatment options for patients."

For Dr. Singh, patient care extends beyond medical intervention; it encompasses building lasting connections and providing comprehensive support. He is committed not only to extending patients' time with loved ones but also to improving their quality of life throughout their journey.

"This is the future of oncology—where precision meets resilience, and hope meets progress," Dr. Singh emphasizes. "Through innovative treatments and compassionate care, we are not only giving families more time together but also transforming the landscape of cancer care."

At Baptist Health, Dr. Singh exemplifies a commitment to advancing patient care and meeting community needs. His expertise, compassion, and dedication make a profound difference in the lives of those he treats, offering hope, healing, and steadfast support during life's most challenging moments.
