What is Cancer?

• Cancer has more than 100 forms and is, perhaps,
  the most dreaded diagnosis today. So insidious is
  this disease that the word is used in everyday
  parlance to refer to an evil or destructive
  practice or phenomenon that is hard to contain or
  eradicate.
• Cancer is the out-of-control multiplication of
  abnormal cells that results in malignancy in the
  affected organ. Some are fortunate to receive a
  diagnosis and treatment in the early stages of
  this disease. Some others hardly present with any
  symptoms of the cancer till the late stages.
• At MIOT International we have a dedicated
  facility to treat cancer - MIOT Institute of
  Cancer Cure is one of our Centers of Excellence
  where all forms of cancer are treated by
  highly-trained and experienced specialists using
  the latest technology and advances in medicine.
  In each and every case, MIOT employs the best
  minds in order to obtain definitive diagnoses and
  offer effective treatment.

Treatment Modalities

• There are three primary treatment modalities to
  cancer chemotherapy, surgery and radiotherapy. A
  multidisciplinary approach to treating cancer is
  at the root of our Tumour Board, comprised of
  oncologists, pathologists, radiologists,
  reconstructive surgeons and other specialists.
  The Tumour Board meets thrice a week to discuss
  the detailed diagnostic information about each
  case, which is discussed in depth, and to chart
  out the most effective treatment plan for each
  patient according to his/her particular needs.
• Also on this Tumour Board are our specialists
  from the MIOT Institute of Haematology,
  Haemato-oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant to
  treat patients with blood and germ-cell cancers.
  These specialists are supported by a dedicated
  team of nurses, nutritionists and counsellors,
  who help patients complete their treatment as
  planned.

Treatment Modalities

• Medical Oncology - We treat cancer patients with
  chemotherapy to supplement the benefits of
  surgery and/or radiotherapy. This helps to
  improve the quality of life and prolong survival
  in the case of blood-related cancers such as
  lymphomas, leukaemia and germ-cell tumours. The
  latest drugs in the right combinations are used
  these drugs are prepared under an infection-free
  laminar hood to maintain their effectiveness.
• Surgical Oncology - Onco-surgery is the treatment
  modality that gives patients the highest
  cure-rates for cancer. Besides surgery to remove
  malignant tumours, onco-surgeons also perform
  diagnostic procedures like biopsies, endoscopies,
  placement of drug-delivery devices, etc.

Treatment Modalities

• Radiation Oncology deals with radiotherapy to
  treat cancers, either by itself or in addition to
  medical and surgical oncology. This depends on
  the type of cancer and its location in the body.
• MIOT International is the first hospital in the
  Asia-Pacific region to commission the latest
  armoury in fighting cancer - TrueBeam STx. This
  revolutionary radiotherapy instrument is four
  times faster than regular radiotherapy.
• We also offer all types of internal
  (brachytherapy) and external beam radiation for
  the treatment of cancers. The three types of
  external beam radiation therapy are Intensity
  Modulated Radiation Treatment (IMRT)
  Stereotactic Radiosurgery and Radiotherapy(SRS/SRT
  ) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Treatment
  (SBRT).

Definite Diagnosis

• In truth, treatment for cancer begins in the
  laboratory itself. MIOT Internationals 24-hour
  lab is spread over 6000 sq. ft. and ranked 8th in
  the world. Expert technologists, high level of
  automation and exacting quality control protocols
  enable the study of cancer tissues at a molecular
  level and ensure that diagnosis is accurate. This
  helps the oncologist in planning treatment that
  will afford optimum benefits for the patient.
• MICC is equipped with the sophisticated dual-head
  gamma camera with its advanced workstation and
  the 64-slice PET CT, which give our specialists
  detailed information about the physiology and
  pathophysiology of various organ systems in as
  little as 15 minutes.

Definite Diagnosis

• Our state-of-the-art digital mammography is
  non-invasive and comfortable and picks up tumours
  even before they can be felt. This enables early
  diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.
• Sophisticated facilities for detecting
  gastrointestinal and liver cancers include
  endoscopy, minimally-invasive biopsies and more.
• Our aim at the MIOT Institute for Cancer Cure is
  to detect and beat the cancer as fast and as
  painlessly as possible. In the unfortunate event
  of end-stage cancer, we offer palliative care to
  keep our patients comfortable with the support of
  our expert and empathetic staff.
