Facing cancer? You do not face it alone.
A cancer diagnosis changes everything in an instant. In that moment, what a family needs is not just treatment — it is clarity, honesty, and a team that will walk the whole path with them. That is what the Cancer Care centre at SAL Hospital, Ahmedabad is built to provide.
What makes this a true centre of excellence is that all three arms of cancer treatment — medical oncology, surgical oncology and bone marrow transplant — work as one team. The best outcomes come when specialists review each case together, agreeing the right plan for that individual patient rather than any one doctor deciding alone.
From accurate diagnosis and staging through chemotherapy, cancer surgery and transplant, our team delivers evidence-based cancer care with dignity and compassion at its centre.

Your cancer care journey with us
Frequently Asked Questions
It is a meeting where medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists and pathologists review a cancer case together and agree the best treatment plan. This team approach is the international standard because it produces better, more balanced decisions than any single specialty alone.
Medical oncology treats cancer with medicines — chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted and biological therapy. Surgical oncology removes cancer through surgery. Most patients need a combination, which is exactly why our team plans treatment together.
It is a treatment that replaces diseased bone marrow with healthy blood-forming cells, offering long-term recovery for patients with certain blood cancers such as leukaemia and lymphoma, and some serious blood disorders.
Cancer is treated with urgency. Once the diagnosis and staging are confirmed and the tumour board has agreed the plan, treatment is arranged promptly — early treatment improves outcomes.
Always. A cancer diagnosis is significant, and we encourage patients to seek clarity. Bring your reports and our team will review them honestly with you.
