India is home to millions of cancer patients where the cases of various types of cancers including breast, lung, ovarian, colon, head and neck, mouth and stomach are rising at an alarming rate in the country. Cancer is known to cause higher morbidity and mortality rates in the patients hence, the best cancer care should be made available for patients based in rural and urban areas to improve their quality of life and reduce the burden on the healthcare system.

In an interview with HT Lifestyle, Dr Jyoti Mehta, MD Radiation and Clinical Oncologist at TGH Onco-Life Cancer Centre in Talegaon, shared, “Cancer therapy is a holistic and comprehensive, long-term approach that saves the patient’s life and prevents complications. Once a patient visits the hospital for cancer treatment, a thorough examination should be carried out to know his/her history and conduct necessary investigations. After confirming the diagnosis of cancer, the expert will devise a personalised treatment plan as per the patient’s need.”

Dr Jyoti Mehta concluded, “Cancer doesn’t mean death; it is possible to fight cancer and improve the chances of survival by finding a well-equipped hospital that provides round-the-clock services to the patients under one roof and offers world-class facilities and treatment.”
