India has one of the highest incidence rates of cancer among developing countries. Patients from neighboring nations like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan, as well as African countries like Nigeria and Kenya, travel to India for advanced cancer treatment. Even patients from Western countries seek more affordable, high-quality care here.
Cancer Treatment Options in India
Depending on the site, type, and stage of cancer, Indian hospitals generally offer:
- Surgery (Surgical Treatments)
- Chemotherapy
- Radiation Therapy
- Immunotherapy
- Targeted Therapy (including Monoclonal Antibodies)
- Bone Marrow Transplants
- Stem Cell Transplants
- Hormone Therapies
- Gene Therapies
The Biggest Problem for Patients Today
Due to a lack of public health infrastructure, shortage of expert oncologists, and commercial interests, many patients receive one-size-fits-all treatment recommendations. Some centers offer the same therapies (like chemotherapy or radiation) to all patients, regardless of individual needs.
In reality, every cancer case is unique and complex, requiring personalized attention from a multidisciplinary team of specialists.
Right Treatment vs. Right Hospital
The right treatment is more important than the right hospital because:
- It’s crucial to understand the benefits and risks of any treatment.
- Cancer treatment requires input from medical oncologists, radiation specialists, surgical oncologists, and hematological oncologists.
- A personalized treatment plan improves outcomes and quality of life.
