The radiation oncology department has a state-of-the-art ELEKTA VERSA – HD multi-energy Linear Accelerator with capabilities of delivering advanced radiation treatment techniques such as Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) with Volumetric Image Guidance (kV-CBCT); Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and Stereotactic Radiosurgery/Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR).

It also has facilities for both teletherapy and brachytherapy and the microselectron multichannel HDR unit for brachytherapy that assists in image-guided brachytherapy (IGBT) along with Intraoperative Interstitial Implants and Accelerated Breast Partial Irradiation. It facilitates the delivery of precise, complex radiotherapy treatment with maximum clinical outcomes and the least toxicity. 

The surgical oncology department can perform all basic and advanced cancer surgeries.

They offer breast conservation surgeries and sentinel lymph node clearance for breast cancers, sphincter preservation (stoma avoiding surgery) in colorectal cancers in the form of inter-sphincteric resections, nephronsparing surgery for kidney cancer, limb salvage surgery for soft tissue and bone sarcoma of limbs, laparoscopic surgery (Keyhole surgery) for intra-abdominal malignancies, VATS (Video-assisted Thoracoscopic surgery) for oesophageal and lung cancers, major procedures such as cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC (Hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy) for advanced cases of colorectal cancer and stomach cancer and supra-major resections such as pelvic exenterations/extended resections for certain very advanced pelvic cancers.

The department is aided by a well-equipped plastic surgery department that offers reconstructive surgeries for breast, head and neck and soft tissue cancers. 

The nuclear medicine department offers both diagnostic and therapeutic services. Among the diagnostic services, the department has the latest GE-4 ring 16 slice Gen2 PETCT equipped with Q-clear technology and the latest RT pallet with automated respiratory and cardiac gating. It is presently conducting neurology-specific SPECT scans such as ECD, TRODAT and GHA and precise cardiopulmonary scans such as myocardial perfusion SPECT, radionuclide ventriculography, MUGA and V/Q scan.

Skeletal scintigraphy and three-phase SPECT bone scans done at the department help in identifying bone involvement in cancers. The department has the expertise to perform scans for the detection of kidney diseases like DMSA, DTPA, and DRCG and gastrointestinal conditions like oesophageal motility scans, Meckel’s scan, RBC scintigraphy and HIDA scan.

It also performs scans for endocrine disorders such as thyroid scans, parathyroid scintigraphy, MIBG scan and Hynictoc for neuroendocrine tumours.

Alongside diagnostic evaluation, the department offers therapeutic interventions in the form of I-131 for thyroid cancers, Lu-177 Dotatate, PSMA for prostate cancer, trans-arterial radio-embolisation in Hepatocellular carcinoma and bone pain palliation.

Medical oncology department is dedicated to providing quality medical care to cancer patients. This department has full-fledged outpatient and inpatient facilities offering a range of services to patients.

They work in coordination with radiation oncology, surgical oncology, and other allied oncology specialities, with regular tumour board meetings for the optimisation of patient care.

The outpatient section has an 18 bedded day-care chemotherapy facility with qualified chemotherapy nurses. The department undertakes the diagnosis, staging and treatment of haematological and solid malignancies in both curative and palliative settings.

They prescribe oral and intravenous chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy. They also provide intensive chemotherapy for acute leukaemia patients and autologous bone marrow transplantation for indicated patients.

They perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures like bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, ascitic and pleural fluid tapping and lumbar puncture. They also provide follow-up, and survivorship cares for patients after completion of active treatment. 

The Paediatric Hematology and Oncology (PHO) ward is a 15-bed unit, which provides acute care to paediatric haematology and oncology patients from birth to 18 years of age.

The ward consists of 4 HEPA filtered rooms and two mechanical ventilators, which function as an in-house Intensive care Unit. This child-friendly unit is located on the ground floor of Zone 4, which is equidistant from the Women & child block and cancer block.

The PHO manages both solid and haematological malignancies. Moreover, it sees patients with benign haematological conditions and conducts autologous, and HLA-matched allogeneic bone marrow transplants

The palliative medicine department facilitates managing complex pain and physical symptoms, and psychological, social and spiritual issues of patients and their families. It promotes improvement in the quality of life, shared decision-making, goals of care discussion and advance care planning.

Providing continuity of care, support, early assessment, and management of symptoms and improving physical well-being makes the treatment experience more acceptable to the patient. It increases the possibility of the completion of cancer therapies. It also helps patients with advanced and terminal illnesses to have a peaceful, comfortable, and dignified end-of-life care experience.
