Overview

This speciality offers minimally invasive procedures for both diagnosis and treatment of various cancers. These minimally invasive procedures are performed without large incisions or sutures and results in no obvious scars. All the procedures are done under imaging guidance so, the treatment is precise and preserves the normal tissue.

Most of the treatments are done on a day care basis or may need one to two days admission thus reducing overall hospital stay and expenditure. Most procedures are done under local anaesthesia thus post procedure recovery is quick. As the treatment is minimally invasive the post procedure morbidity and mortality are very less when compared to other modes of cancer treatment. Patients overall comfort and experience is also better than open surgical treatment.
