The Fatima bint Mubarak Cancer Centre (FBMCC) at Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi is a state-of-the-art cancer treatment facility that provides high-quality care to patients in the region. Named after the wife of the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the UAE, the centre is a tribute to her dedication to helping those in need.
Opened in 2016, the FBMCC is the flagship cancer centre of the Cleveland Clinic’s international network. The facility houses advanced equipment and technology, including the latest in diagnostic and treatment tools, such as the Varian Edge radiosurgery system, and a PET/CT scanner that is capable of producing high-resolution images of the body, allowing doctors to detect cancer at an early stage.
The centre provides a full range of cancer treatment services, including radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgical oncology, and immunotherapy. The FBMCC also offers a variety of support services, such as nutrition counseling, rehabilitation services, and psychological counseling, to help patients and their families cope with the challenges of cancer.
One unique feature of the FBMCC is its focus on personalized medicine. The centre uses cutting-edge molecular profiling technology to analyze a patient’s tumor DNA, which helps doctors develop personalized treatment plans tailored to that patient’s unique genetic makeup. This approach allows doctors to target the cancer more effectively and minimize the side effects of treatment.
The FBMCC is staffed by a team of highly trained and experienced cancer specialists, including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, surgeons, and nurses. The centre’s multidisciplinary approach ensures that patients receive comprehensive care that takes into account all aspects of their health, not just their cancer.
In addition to providing high-quality cancer treatment, the FBMCC is also dedicated to promoting cancer education and awareness in the region. The centre hosts regular events, such as seminars and workshops, where patients, caregivers, and healthcare professionals can learn about the latest advances in cancer care and research.
The FBMCC is a beacon of hope for cancer patients in the region, providing them with access to world-class care close to home. By combining advanced technology with compassionate care, the FBMCC is helping to change the face of cancer treatment in the UAE and beyond.
