Treatment Approach

We, at HCG Cancer Centre, Bengaluru, believe in delivering value-based and patient-centric cancer care.

The multidisciplinary treatment approach helps our specialists devise customised treatment plans 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 type of cancer. This personalised approach shall have a positive impact on the treatment response and recovery among patients.

The multidisciplinary team at HCG comprises trained and highly skilled surgical, radiation & medical oncologists, along with pain management specialists. This core team is supported by a qualified and trained team of general physicians, dietitians, physiotherapists & psycho-oncologists who are trained to provide round-the-clock support to patients.

Diagnostic Services at HCG Cancer Centre, Bengaluru

The centre is equipped with advanced technology to provide optimum diagnostic support to patients in and around Bengaluru. These technologies help specialists have a better understanding of the disease and recommend the best treatment plans that lead to positive clinical outcomes.

PET-CT (Analogue/Digital): 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 increasing the precision of diagnostics.

PET-CT imaging has a significant role in multiple phases of cancer care namely diagnosis, staging/restaging, treatment planning, monitoring and treatment evaluation.

HCG Cancer Centre, Bengaluru, is the first hospital in Karnataka to house a digital PET-CT in order to facilitate faster and reliable diagnostic support.

Digital Mammography: Digital mammography is an imaging technique that is dedicated to breast cancer detection. Low-dose X-rays are used to look at the breast for the signs of benign or malignant tumours.

MRI Scan: MRI scans help in generating exceptionally detailed images of various organs like the brain, spine, prostate, uterus and liver, which allow the specialists to differentiate between benign and potentially hazardous masses.

Genomics: HCG Cancer Centre, in association with Triesta Sciences, offers comprehensive genomic screening services. Genetic counselling and genetic testing play a significant role in the early detection of multiple types of cancers. Genetic testing also helps in assessing hereditary risks for a broad spectrum of cancers.

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