Treatment Approach

We, at HCG Cancer Centre, Double Road, believe in delivering cancer care that is value-based and patient-centric.

The multidisciplinary treatment approach helps our specialists devise a customised treatment plan for our patients based on their cancer type, stage and their overall condition. In other words, the treatment given will be specific to that patient rather than to that specific cancer type.

The multidisciplinary team comprises medical, surgical and radiation oncologists along with trained experts in pain management, onco-dietetics and onco-pathology.

This personalised approach positively impacts the treatment response and recovery among patients.

Diagnostic Services at HCG Cancer Centre, Double Road

PET-CT:PET-CT is one of the advanced methods of molecular imaging that provides data on both anatomical and biochemical changes within the body. This data helps the specialists in delivering better care and treatment support. The application of PET-CT imaging lies in diagnosis, staging/restaging, treatment planning, therapy monitoring and treatment evaluation.

SPECT:SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) is a diagnostic imaging technique that is done to study the functioning of the internal organs. SPECT scans are used in diagnosing and monitoring brain tumours and the cancers that have spread to bones.

MRI Scan:MRI scans are used to generate detailed images of various internal organs, such as the brain, spine, prostate, uterus, liver, etc. An MRI scan is suggested in cases wherein the doctor suspects an abnormal growth. MRI scans can provide information on the presence of benign and potentially hazardous masses in various parts of the body.

Mammography:Mammography is used for breast cancer detection. Low-dose X-rays are used to examine the breast for the signs of benign or malignant tumours.

X-Ray:X-ray helps in detecting structural abnormalities within the body. X-rays play an important role in the detection of lung, stomach and kidney cancers.

Colour Doppler Sonography:This is an ultrasound procedure that helps specialists in differentiating between benign nodules and malignant ones.

We also have an in-house laboratory that offers diagnostic services like biochemistry, haematology, clinical pathology and cytology and helps our patients receive on-time diagnostic support.
