Treatment Approach
We, at HCG Panda Cancer Hospital, 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 Panda Cancer Hospital
PET-CT: PET-CT is one of the advanced methods of molecular imaging that provides data on both anatomical and biochemical changes. PET-CT imaging helps in diagnosis, staging/restaging, treatment planning, therapy monitoring and treatment evaluation. This data helps the specialists in delivering better care and treatment support.
CT Scan: A computerised tomography scan or CT scan is a safe and non-invasive diagnostic procedure that provides comprehensive information on the exact location of abnormal masses, which could be benign or malignant. A CT scan helps in radiation and surgical treatment planning. It improves the quality of cancer diagnosis. This scan also helps in assessing the aggressiveness of the tumour, check if it is benign or malignant.
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.
