Oncologist Dr. Mary Ondinee Manalo Igot

When cancer spreads to the bones, medications such as zoledronic acid and denosumab can help strengthen the bones, reduce pain, and lower the risk of fractures. 💚🦴

🚿 "Dok, pwede ba maligo habang nagche-chemo?"

Oo naman! Ang chemotherapy ay hindi bawal sa tubig — mas dapat iwasan ang fake news kaysa sa pagligo. Hindi po totoo na kayo ay mabibinat. 😅💚

WHEN PATIENTS SAY “I LOVE YOU” TO THEIR DOCTORS ❤️

It's not romantic.

I think it's the "I trust you with my life" kind of love.

I think it's the "You stayed with me through my darkest days" kind of love.

I think it's the "You gave me hope when I thought I had none left" kind of love.

As a doctor, I don't expect these words. But every now and then, when a patient sends a message like this, it reminds me why I chose this profession.

To all my patients: thank you for trusting me with this kind of love. 💚

Behind every chemotherapy, every clinic day, every cancer survivor, and every difficult conversation is a team that shows up with skill, compassion, and heart.

Proud of our DLSUMC Oncology Care Unit family.

Together, we continue to bring hope, healing, and excellent cancer care to every patient we serve. 💚

Chill lang po tayo... Let cancer patients drink their coffee! Wag po tayo super strict sa kanila. :-D

"ANG CUTE NI TATAY!!!" 🥹💚

May pa-wave wave pa sa mga kasama habang nagce-celebrate ng pagtatapos ng kanyang treatment. Parang sinasabi niya, 'Okay na ako, uwi na tayo!' 👋😊

Congratulations, Tatay! Tuloy lang sa paggaling! 💚🎓

And it's finally out!

Proud to have been one of the authors of the Philippine Clinical Practice Guideline for Periodic Health Examination: Screening for Neoplastic Diseases, now published in Acta Medica Philippina.

As we continue to emphasize early cancer detection, I hope this guideline helps promote evidence-based and appropriate cancer screening in the Philippines.

A TRULY EMOTIONAL MOMENT AT THE ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF CLINICAL ONCOLOGY 2026 (ASCO 2026)

How more than 10,000 doctors clapped and gave a standing ovation when a breakthrough drug doubles the life of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer. 👏

The drug that we thought no one could ever make, has been MADE! 😭

Anything is possible!

RASolute was a top talk at #ASCO26

Daraxonrasib DOUBLES the survival in metastatic pancreatic cancer (mOS 13.2 mo vs. 6.6 mo) after having had previous chemo 

The drug they thought no one could ever make has shattered everyone’s expectations. Anything is possible!
