Overview
Cancer care is complex, prolonged, and intense — both for the patient and the physician. It needs concerted, coordinated and precise planning to ensure the best outcomes. The surgical oncology team at Medicare Hospitals is known for its performance of all kinds of complex onco-surgery procedures including abdominal cancer. We perform Conservative onco-surgery for carcinoma breast, urological cancer, gynaec cancer, head & neck cancer, and complex thoracic (Lung/Food pipe) cancer surgeries with mini-thoracotomy (small incision). The facility also has a Multimodality tumor board. The Centre has also been recognized as the pioneer i central India to start peritoneal surface malignancy program & HIPEC and has now successfully performed many complex procedures

Technology we use
- We use case-appropriate energy devices during surgeries like bipolar scissors for lymphadenectomy near initial structures like blood vessels and nerves, minimizing damage to these structures.
- HIPEC machine (only center in India) for complex cytoreductive surgeries, targeting the microscopic disease
- Minithoracotomy and light-assisted procedures for lung and food pipe cancer surgeries, which helps in reducing pain post-operatively.
