The range of care provided is organised into a number of patient-centred clinics, which includes:

Radiation Therapy

Radiation treatment or radiotherapy is the use of precisely calculated doses of high energy X-rays to treat parts of the body where there is cancer. It is generally a pain-free treatment and external radiation therapy does not cause you to be radioactive.

Chemotherapy

Chemotherapy is the use of drugs to destroy rapidly growing cancer cells. Some kinds of chemotherapy may slow the growth of cancer cells, and keep them from spreading to other parts of the body. It may be used with radiation to help shrink the tumour before surgery. It may also be used after surgery or radiation to destroy remnant cancer cells. At the centre, chemotherapy is given as an outpatient procedure at our specialised treatment areas, managed by a team of oncology trained nurses who provide close monitoring.

Surgery

The Department of Surgical Oncology, which is an integral part of the comprehensive cancer care and research at Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital offers collaborative, multi-disciplinary approach to cancer care which is designed to integrate seamlessly with medical and/or radiation oncology. Our surgeons meet regularly at tumor board to review challenging cases and reach a consensus on treatment strategies, offering the most personalized care and standardized evidence based management protocol.
