The Oncology department supports patients through diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of cancer. On-site biopsy and histopathology mean a tissue diagnosis can be established here, which is the step everything else depends on, and the surgical teams handle cancer operations within their specialities.
Where a patient needs a treatment the hospital does not provide, such as radiation therapy, the department says so plainly and arranges referral rather than delaying care.

Questions patients ask
Can a cancer diagnosis be confirmed at this hospital?
Yes, in most cases. Biopsy and histopathology are available on site, which is what confirms whether a growth is cancer and what type it is. Some cancers also need specialised immunohistochemistry or molecular tests, which are sent to a reference laboratory.
Is chemotherapy or radiation given here?
Supportive care during and between cycles of cancer treatment is provided, and surgical treatment is done here. Whether chemotherapy is administered on site, and radiation therapy in particular, is being confirmed with the hospital. Call +91 7288 080 222 before travelling so you are told accurately what can be given here and what needs referral.
How quickly can a biopsy be reported?
Routine histopathology is usually reported within a few working days, as it is processed in-house. Complex cases needing additional stains take longer, and the team will tell you when to expect the report.
I found a lump. How soon should I be seen?
Within days, not months. Most lumps turn out to be harmless, but the ones that are not are far more treatable when caught early. Bring any previous scans or reports to the consultation.
Will my family be involved in treatment decisions?
As much as you want them to be. The team will explain the diagnosis, the options and what each involves, and you decide who is present for those conversations and who receives updates.
