Diagnostic Services at HCG EKO Cancer Centre

The success of any cancer treatment lies in its diagnosis. At HCG EKO, the cutting-edge technology and the expertise of our highly skilled oncologists help us achieve high-level accuracy in our diagnostics and thereby help patients with the best care possible.

PET-CT: PET-CT is an advanced molecular imaging technique that not only collects the anatomical data but also the data on the biochemical activity within the body. PET-CT imaging is helpful in diagnosis, staging, treatment monitoring, restaging and relapse evaluation.

Mammography: Mammography uses low-dose X-rays to obtain images of the breast tissue. Mammography detects breast cancer at least two years before it can be found by the physician during a clinical examination.

Colour Doppler Ultrasound: Through this diagnostic technique, specialists study the blood flow within the vessels to detect cancer. This diagnostic method helps oncologists in differentiating between benign and malignant nodes in various parts of the body.

The centre also houses a state-of-the-art laboratory for comprehensive biochemistry, pathology, histopathology, molecular biology analyses along with 24-hour blood bank support.
