Overview Section

Top Surgical Oncology Hospital in India 

Oncology is a branch of medicine that focuses on detecting, treating, and preventing cancer, a serious illness that can affect various systems of the human body. The onset of cancer is caused by aberrant cells that begin to proliferate uncontrollably. These cells can spread to other areas of the body and cause serious medical conditions. Surgical oncology is a subspeciality of surgery that focuses on various surgical methods and procedures for controlling and treating cancer.

We have provided many patients with comprehensive care using multidisciplinary and holistic techniques and continue to do so.

  • Colon and Rectal Cancer: Performing laparoscopic resections with minimal invasiveness to provide the best possible recovery.
  • Cervical and Ovarian Cancer: Laparoscopic methods are utilized for extensive and stage-appropriate surgical procedures.

Technologies Used for Surgical Oncology Examination

The diagnosis and treatment of cancer have become more accurate, safe, and successful because of technological advances, which have also significantly altered surgery. At the prestigious surgical oncology facility Gleneagles Hospitals, we use a wide range of cutting-edge technology:

  • ETHOS with Identify

    - ETHOS: Individualized radiation by adapting to tumour changes in real-time, thus increasing precision;
    - Identify: Accuracy of patient positioning during radiation therapy sessions further adds to safety and effectiveness.

  • TrueBeam System: Provides high-energy radiation to the tumour while limiting the dose to the normal tissues surrounding the tumour. In treating complex tumours, it is known to be extraordinarily rapid, accurate, and very efficient.
  • HDR Brachytherapy: This technique keeps the healthy tissues surrounding the tumour intact while delivering focused radiation directly onto the irradiated area. It is frequently used to treat breast, prostate, and cervical malignancies.
  • Da Vinci X System: A robotic surgical platform that decreases recuperation periods and improves therapeutic results by increasing precision for less invasive operations.

  • Imaging Technologies

    - PET-CT & SPECT-CT: Integrate anatomical and metabolic imaging techniques for cancer monitoring, staging, and diagnosis.
    - MRI (1.5 Tesla): Offers soft tissue imaging at very high resolution for a complete assessment.
    - CT Scans: It enables a relatively continuous cross-sectional body imaging for further monitoring and treatment planning.

  • Innovative Diagnostics

    - Liquid Biopsy: Non-invasive blood tests to monitor genetic abnormalities and cancer biomarkers.
    - Genomic Sequencing: Find biomarkers for personalized cancer treatment.
    - Bone Scan: Find bone metastases to evaluate the extent of cancer.
    - Ultrasound: Directs biopsy and tracks tumours in real-time.

These cutting-edge devices guarantee accurate diagnosis and effective treatments. This affirms Gleneagles Hospitals' position as a pioneer in surgical cancer care.

    Frequently Asked Questions

  • What differentiates a general surgeon from a surgical oncologist?

    A surgical oncologist is a physician who focuses on diagnosing and treating cancer patients. They specialize in cancer therapy. A general surgeon, on the other hand, conducts a greater range of procedures to address general and non-cancerous medical issues.

  • When is surgery required to treat cancer?

    Surgery is often advised as the primary approach, at a leading Surgical Oncology Hospital in India for the management of almost all cancers because it may involve the removal of tumour masses or affected tissues and lymph nodes. In advanced local tumours, such treatment is generally used alongside chemotherapy or radiation therapy to avert possible metastasis.

  • What can I do to lower my cancer risk?

    To help reduce cancer risks, eat a healthy diet, maintain a proper exercise regime, avert alcohol and tobacco, moderate alcohol intake, protect skin from UV rays, get inoculated, handle stress, and plan regular check-ups.

  • What kinds of surgeries are carried out in the field of surgical oncology?

    Surgical oncology comprises tumour excision, organ-preserving techniques,  laparoscopic, robotic-assisted surgeries, and reconstructive surgeries. At a top-rated Surgical Oncology Hospital in India, the healthcare team is concerned with the accurate removal and recovery of breast cancer, lung cancer, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, liver cancer, and gynaecological cancers.
