What we treat?

• Blood cancer

  Blood cancer is an umbrella term for cancers that affect the blood, bone marrow and lymphatic system. There are three main types of blood cancer:

  • Leukaemia - Leukaemia, a type of cancer found in your blood and bone marrow, is caused by the rapid production of abnormal white blood cells. The high number of abnormal white blood cells are not able to fight infection, and they impair the ability of the bone marrow to produce red blood cells and platelets.
  • Lymphoma - Lymphoma is a type of blood cancer that affects the lymphatic system, which removes excess fluids from your body and produces immune cells. Lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that fight infection. Abnormal lymphocytes become lymphoma cells, which multiply and collect in your lymph nodes and other tissues. Over time, these cancerous cells impair your immune system.
  • Myeloma - Myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells. Plasma cells are white blood cells that produce disease- and infection-fighting antibodies in your body. Myeloma cells prevent the normal production of antibodies, leaving your body's immune system weakened and susceptible to infection.
• Brain Tumour

  It is the growth of cells in the brain that multiplies in an abnormal and uncontrollable way. There are two main types of brain tumour, non-cancerous and cancerous tumours. The symptoms of a brain tumour include severe headaches, seizures, persistent nausea, or paralysis/ progressive weakness on one side of the body. At Medanta, we use the latest technology such as Cyberknife VSI to treat any type of cancer robotically.

• Prostate Cancer

  Irregular growth of cells in the prostate gland of the patient leads to prostate cancer. Medanta specialises in treating the prostate cancer robotically. Prostate cancer can be treated by methods such as robotic surgery, laparoscopic prostatectomy and incisions.  

• Liver Cancer

  It is a condition that happens when normal cells in the liver become abnormal in appearance and behaviour. Malignant or cancerous cells that develop in the normal cells of the liver causes the condition called as hepatocellular carcinoma. At Medanta, we use surgery, radiation therapy, thermal ablation, and percutaneous ethanol injection as treatment options. Our team specialises in liver transplantation.

• Breast Cancer

  Breast Cancer is the most common invasive cancer in females worldwide. The causes of breast cancer can be age, genetics and dense breast tissue. We have a special Breast Services team at Medanta which uses treatments like mastectomy, radiation therapy, and lumpectomy to treat breast cancer.

• Thyroid Cancer

  Thyroid cancer is an uncommon type of cancer. In this condition, cancer cells are formed in the butterfly-shaped thyroid gland that resides at the base of our neck and the neck may get swelled up. At Medanta, with the help of our specialised doctors, treatments, including surgery, hormone therapy, radioactive iodine, radiation and in some cases chemotherapy can be used to treat.

• Head & Neck Cancer

  The cancerous cells are found in the mouth, nose, sinus, or the throat which can cause pain during swallowing and changes in the voice. At Medanta, the doctors use surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy to treat the patient.

• Abdomen cancer

  Abdomen cancer, also called as gastric cancer occurs when the cancer cells start to grow out of control in stomach. It is usually not found at an early stage because it often does not cause specific symptoms. The common symptoms may include loss of appetite, pain and discomfort in abdomen or ingestion or heartburn. At Medanta, the doctors use surgery, medications, radiation and chemotherapy to treat the patient.

• Pelvic Cancer

  It is a malignant tumour which occurs due to abnormal growth of cells in the cervix, the lowermost part of the uterus. Most cervical cancers are caused by a virus called human papillomavirus, or HPV. It is found on early stage through a Pap test. It is treated by surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
