Conditions We Treat / Services We Offer
Head and Neck Cancer
Head and neck cancer is a group of cancers starting in the mouth, throat, nose, sinuses, or voice box (larynx). These cancers are often caused by tobacco use, regular alcohol consumption, and HPV infection. Symptoms include lumps that lead to difficulty in swallowing, hoarseness, and a persistent sore throat.
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is a disease in which abnormal breast cells grow out of control and form tumours. If left unchecked, the tumours can spread throughout the body and become fatal. About 80% of women diagnosed with breast cancer each year are 45 years of age or older.
Food Pipe, Stomach and Small Intestine Cancer
The cancers of the food pipe (esophageal cancer), stomach, and small intestine are all types of gastrointestinal cancers. This can adversely affect the digestive system and can cause immense pain, weight loss, and issues in the digestive system.
Mediastinal and Lung Cancer
Mediastinal and lung cancers are types of thoracic cancers. Mediastinal cancer occurs in the mediastinum, i.e., the area in the middle of the chest that separates the lungs, whereas lung cancer begins inside the lungs. The most common types of lung cancer are non-small cell carcinoma (NSCLC) and small cell carcinoma (SCLC). NSCLC is more common and grows slowly, while SCLC is less common but often grows quickly.
Colorectal and Anal Cancer
Colorectal Cancer Affects the colon (the large intestine) and the rectum, the last part of the large intestine. Anal cancer begins in the anal canal, which is the passage at the end of the rectum leading to the outside of the body.
Gynaecological Cancer
Gynecological Cancers affect the female reproductive system including the cervix, endometrium, ovary, vagina, vulva, and uterus. Screening tests like Pap smears and pelvic exams are important and should be done timely to reduce the risk of these cancers.
Skin Cancer
Skin cancer starts in the skin cells. The most common types include basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Sun protection and regular skin checkups are essential for preventing skin cancers.
Soft Tissue Sarcoma
Soft tissue cancer, also called sarcoma, usually develops in muscles, fat, nerves, or other soft tissues. Common types are liposarcoma and leiomyosarcoma, these are generally observed with symptoms like painless lumps.
Childhood Cancer
Cancers that occur in children and adolescents are referred to as childhood cancers. It is relatively rare in comparison to cancers in adults. Early detection and advanced treatments are recommended to improve survival rates.
Urine Bladder and Kidney Cancer
Bladder and kidney cancers affect the urinary system which is responsible for filtering and removing waste from the blood and producing urine.
Liver, Gallbladder and Pancreas Cancer
Cancers in these organs affect the digestive system and gastrointestinal tract. These are interrelated due to the anatomical relation and one organ might affect the functioning of other organs.
