Cancers We Treat
Cancers We Commonly Treat
Our medical and surgical oncology teams manage the full range of solid tumours and blood cancers with evidence-based, personalised treatment plans.
Breast cancer arises from the cells of the breast — most commonly the milk ducts (ductal carcinoma) or lobules (lobular carcinoma). It is the most common cancer among women in India, with rising incidence in younger women. Subtypes include hormone receptor-positive (ER/PR+), HER2-positive, and triple-negative breast cancer — each requiring a distinct treatment approach.
A painless lump in the breast or armpit; change in breast shape, size, or skin texture; nipple discharge (especially bloodstained); nipple inversion; skin dimpling or peau d'orange appearance; and redness or thickening of the nipple or breast skin.
- Comprehensive staging with mammography, breast ultrasound, MRI, and PET-CT
- Core needle biopsy with IHC for receptor and HER2 status
- Surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy with SLNB/axillary dissection)
- Chemotherapy — neoadjuvant or adjuvant
- Targeted therapy (trastuzumab, pertuzumab, CDK4/6 inhibitors)
- Hormonal therapy for ER+ disease
- Radiation oncology coordination for post-operative radiation
- Genetic counselling for BRCA mutation carriers
