Radiation therapy uses carefully targeted and regulated doses of high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells. Radiation causes some cancer cells to die immediately after treatment, but most die or become incapacitated as a result of the radiation-induced damage to the cancer cell’s chromosomes and DNA.

During the treatment patients are given chemotherapy drugs in the form of tablets and injections. The treatment is given once in a few weeks for a period of time depending upon the condition of patients and the nature of cancer. Prior to starting with the treatment, all side-effects of chemotherapy are well explained to patients and their attenders and how to cope up the side effects. We are managing all the side effects with effective Pre-medication & Pre- chemo counselling . The department is equipped with the most advanced chemo-delivery technology and equipment to make the experience easier and better for patients.

Surgery is used to diagnose, stage and treat cancer and certain cancer-related symptoms. At Erode Cancer Centre (ECC), our experienced Surgical Oncologist & Surgeons have performed thousands of procedures and will discuss the surgical options that are best suited to your individual needs.

Whether a patient is a candidate for surgery depends on factors such as the type, size, location, grade and stage of the tumour, as well as general health factors such as age, physical fitness and other medical comorbidities. For many patients, surgery will be combined with other cancer treatments such as chemotherapy, radiation therapy or hormone therapy. These may be administered before surgery (neoadjuvant) or after surgery (adjuvant) to help prevent cancer growth, spread or recurrence.

Early in the treatment planning process, we plan for and proactively manage any side effects from surgery.
