We have a comprehensive surgical oncology services managed by a well trained and experienced
team.
We provide surgical procedures for :
A team of senior doctors working in close association with surgical and radiation oncology
colleagues. Medical oncology team plays major role in initial assessment of patients with
suspected cancer. Team plays role in molecular oncology diagnostic work up and contributes
to overall treatment planning n multi-disciplinary setting.
Both inpatient and day care chemotherapy services are provided. Chemotherapy through
chemoport device, PICC line and intraperitoneal services also provided. Dose dense
chemotherapy or once in 3 weekly cycles given before surgery to down size the tumor to make
it operable, post surgery chemo to improve the cure rate and in advanced cases to control
the disease.
Emergency services for patients with infection from low blood counts due to chemotherapy or
haematological condition also available.
Targeted therapy is provided in certain cancers with oral medications and in certain cases
with biological agents. Newer Immuno- oncology therapy is also provided for certain
suitable patients.
Palliative care services are provided for terminally ill patients with a close coordination
with pain management team, psycho-oncology team and physiotherapy/ rehabilitation team.
Radiation facility will be provided soon
A catheterization laboratory or Cath lab is an examination room in a hospital or clinic
with diagnostic imaging equipment used to visualize the arteries of the heart and the
chambers of the heart and treat any stenosis or abnormality found.
At Prakriya we have a state of art Pinnacle Cath lab machine which enables us to conduct
the most complex of the procedure.
Types Of Interventional Radiology:
Arteriograms:
Minimally invasive procedure to improve blood flow to a particular area. Tiny balloons are
used to stretch blood vessels, which are narrowed and diseased. This procedure is used to
treat leg pains, hypertension, kidney disease, strokes or circulatory disorders. These
procedures are often surgery sparing.
Angioplasty:
Minimally invasive procedure to improve blood flow to a particular area. Tiny balloons are
used to stretch blood vessels, which are narrowed and diseased. This procedure is used to
treat leg pains, hypertension, kidney disease, strokes or circulatory disorders. These
procedures are often surgery sparing.
Stents:
A minimally invasive procedure during which metal tubes are used to prop open blood vessels
or bile ducts.
Embolization:
Minimally invasive procedure used to decrease blood flow to various organs. This is
utilized in instances of abnormal bleeding, such as due to trauma or cancer. Embolization
has also been used for treatment of pelvic pain or bleeding related to uterine fibroids.
Venous Access:
Portacaths, PICC Lines, Dialysis Catheters. Using minimally invasive techniques long-term
and short-term vascular access catheters are placed in the Interventional Radiology suite.
Studies have showed improved success rates using imaging guidance as compared to surgery.
Biopsy:
Fine needle biopsy is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgical biopsy. A small
needle is inserted into the area in question to help determine further therapy. The needle
biopsy is often less risky and more easily tolerable for a patient.
Fibroid Embolization:
Known medically as uterine artery embolization, this is a new alternative for women. It is
a minimally invasive procedure, which means it requires only a tiny nick in the skin. It is
performed while the patient is conscious but sedated - drowsy and feeling no pain.
We have a beneficial physical and psychological rehabilitation program for all our patients. We also provide dietary advice for patients receiving chemotherapy and undergoing complex surgery.
Cancer incidence in India has increased enormously over the last decade
due to a number of factors. The treatment for cancer has also improved a great deal and now can
be treated by a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However individual
patients may have only one or two of those treatments. We at Prakriya Hospitals believe that
cancer care should be available in our community and therefore our specialists are trained to
treat the disease surgically medically and through radiation. We are providing surgical
oncology and medical oncology services and are developing a state of the art radiation oncology
services. We have well-equipped chemotherapy wards and a day care facility. Our experienced
chemotherapy nurses will be with you all along during the treatment.
In addition we also provide prevention strategies through our cancer screening program and
education.
