Complete cancer care built on three pillars — Medical, Radiation and Surgical Oncology — working together through a single tumour board. One team, one plan, one place, at charitable rates that keep world-class cancer treatment within reach of every family.
Cancer is rarely treated with a single approach. Most patients need a combination of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery — delivered in the right sequence. That coordination is what defines our Oncology department.
Every new cancer case is reviewed by our multidisciplinary tumour board, where medical, radiation and surgical oncologists, along with pathologists and radiologists, jointly decide the best treatment plan. No single doctor decides alone, and no treatment is given unnecessarily.
Below, you can explore each of our three oncology specialities in detail — Medical, Radiation and Surgical — and how they work together for the best possible outcome.
Medical Oncology uses medicines to treat cancer throughout the body. Our medical oncologists design personalised drug protocols based on your cancer type, stage and — where relevant — genetic markers, delivered in our comfortable day-care chemotherapy unit.
Treatments offered:
Most chemotherapy is given in our monitored day-care unit — come in the morning, receive your cycle in comfort, and return home the same day. No admission needed for most protocols.
Radiation Oncology uses high-energy radiation beams to destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. Our radiation oncologists use advanced techniques and precise treatment planning to target tumours accurately — painlessly, on an outpatient basis.
Techniques offered:
Radiation therapy is painless — like getting an X-ray. Each session takes only 10–20 minutes, usually 5 days a week over several weeks.
Surgical Oncology focuses on removing tumours and cancerous tissue. Our trained onco-surgeons perform curative and reconstructive cancer surgeries in dedicated modular operation theatres, with ICU backup for safe recovery.
Surgeries performed:
Cancer surgery is performed in laminar-flow modular theatres with HEPA filtration, backed by intensive care for safe recovery during the critical post-operative period.
Consultation, biopsy, imaging (CT/MRI/PET-CT) and pathology confirmation.
Medical, radiation & surgical oncologists jointly plan your treatment.
Personalised plan with sequence, costs and subsidy explained upfront.
Chemo, radiation and/or surgery with continuous supportive care.
Regular monitoring, survivorship care and psychological support.
They are three different ways of treating cancer. Medical oncology uses medicines (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted/hormonal therapy) that travel through the body. Radiation oncology uses focused radiation beams to destroy tumours in a specific area. Surgical oncology physically removes tumours through surgery. Many patients need a combination of all three — which is why our tumour board coordinates them.
Not necessarily. It depends entirely on your cancer type, stage and location. Some cancers are treated with surgery alone; others need chemotherapy plus radiation; some need all three in a specific sequence. Your tumour board decides the right combination for you — and explains why.
A tumour board is a meeting where all the cancer specialists review your case together, rather than one doctor deciding alone. This means your treatment plan reflects combined expertise — leading to better outcomes, the right sequence of treatments, and no unnecessary procedures. It is the global standard for quality cancer care.
Yes — that is the core advantage of our department. Medical, radiation and surgical oncology, plus diagnostics (PET-CT, lab, pathology) and a day-care chemo unit, are all within our hospital. You won\u2019t need to travel between different centres for different parts of your treatment.
As a charitable hospital, our rates are significantly lower than corporate hospitals. Patients under CGHS, ESI, PSU panels and government cancer schemes may receive cashless or heavily subsidised treatment. Our patient support desk assesses every family for additional charitable funding — no patient is turned away for inability to pay.
Absolutely. We welcome second-opinion consultations. Bring your reports and our tumour board will give an independent assessment — confirming your current plan or suggesting alternatives, honestly.
