The Department of Surgical Oncology consists of dedicated surgical specialists, formerly at the Tata Memorial Hospital, for management of all types of cancers. Surgery is a modality of treatment in cancer care usually performed to remove cancer cells, and other cancer-related symptoms. In many cases, surgery is combined with other cancer treatments such as Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy or Hormone Therapy. These may be given before or after surgery to help prevent cancer growth, spread or recurrence. We also perform organ preservation surgeries where cancer cells are removed from the host without removing the organ. A team of Nutritionists, Rehabilitation Therapists and other clinici[..]

PET/CT Scan plays a vital role in detection of Cancer in any part of the body. More than 90% of people suspected of cancer/ cancer patients have to get a PET/CT Scan done.
This advanced nuclear imaging technique combines positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) into a single machine. A PET/CT scan reveals details about both the structure and function of cells and tissues in the body during a single imaging session.

This Nuclear medicine imaging uses small amounts of radioactive material to diagnose, evaluate or treat a variety of diseases. These include many types of cancers, heart disease, gastrointestinal, endocrine or neurological disorders and other abnormalities. Because nuclear medicine exams can pinpoint molecular activity, they have the potential to identify disease in its earliest stages. They […]

Hematology is the study of blood in health and disease. It includes studying problems occurring with the platelets, blood vessels, red blood cells, white blood cells, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and the proteins involved in bleeding and clotting. A hematologist is a medical doctor who applies this knowledge to treat patients with blood conditions.
Our hematologists deal with the diagnosis, treatment and overall management of people with blood disorders ranging from anemia to blood cancer.

The best way to fight cancer is to get it diagnosed early, and that can be done through timely diagnosis. The process of identifying the right treatment plan for a patient starts with screening, which is available for breast cancer, cervical cancer and prostate cancer through Mammography, PAP Smear or PSA for the respective conditions. The process of diagnosing other cancers involves using various scans like PET CT, X Ray, Biopsy and other Cancer Dedicated blood tests.

We do extend complete patient care and Radiology Services all under one roof.

Breast cancer can begin in different parts of the breast. A breast comprises of three main parts: lobules, ducts, and connective tissue. The lobules are the glands that produce milk. The tubes carrying milk to the nipple are called ducts. The connective tissue consisting of fibrous and fatty tissue surrounds and holds everything together. Most breast cancers begin at ducts or lobules.
Breast cancer can spread outside the breast through blood and lymph vessels. When cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it is said to have metastasized. Early diagnosis & right course of treatment can not only cure but also save the natural breast.
