Surgical
Oncology
Precision cancer surgery with 3D laparoscopy, HIPEC, microvascular reconstruction and ICG fluorescence — guided by tumor board–led multidisciplinary care.
Overview
The Department of Surgical Oncology provides comprehensive surgical management for a wide spectrum of cancers. Modern operating theatres and advanced surgical technologies enable precise tumor removal while preserving organ function whenever possible.
The surgical oncology team works closely with Medical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Radiology, Pathology and Critical Care — and every treatment plan is shaped through tumor board discussions.
Dr. Chandra Mohan K
Leads the surgical oncology team with deep expertise across complex cancer surgery, minimally invasive approaches and reconstructive techniques — combining oncological safety with functional and cosmetic outcomes.

Multidisciplinary Cancer Care
Every cancer case is reviewed through a multidisciplinary tumor board, where experts from different oncology specialties collaborate to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy — ensuring surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy are optimally coordinated.
Pain & Palliative Care
Comprehensive care to relieve pain, control symptoms and provide emotional, psychological and social support — at any stage of cancer treatment.
Modern pharmacological and interventional pain techniques.
