Cancer Care

Many advances have taken place in medicine and in surgery, concepts have changed taking into account the biology of cancer. Radical surgeries have yielded to more conservative surgery with the very important objective of quality of life, need for conserving organs and their respective function without compromising the overall survival outcomes.

Radiation therapy too, has also made rapid advances with high technology, precision, computerisation and newer isotopes for therapy. Chemotherapy has played a very major role, with new drugs and clinical protocols investigated in clinical trials. Our hospitals network includes the first Centre in India to initiate Bone Marrow Transplant in 1983. This has been possible due to better total supportive care using newer antibiotics, nutritional, blood transfusion support and excellent standards of nursing.

Another important area of progress over the last few years has been radiological imaging techniques using ultrasound, CT Scanners, MRI and more dynamic real-time nuclear medicine scanning. . A PET CT scanner makes available cutting edge technology for cancer management.

With this infrastructure and expertise, backed by years of experience, the Indian Alternative offers caring with confidence and compassion for cancer patients.
