Surgical Oncology

The Department of Surgical Oncology was started in 2001 and is today one of the pioneers in the field of breast cancer, thyroid cancer, head and neck cancer and gynaecological cancer. The department specializes in the surgical management of all sorts of solid tumours with specific interest in cancers of breast, ovaries, colon, rectum, endometrium, head and neck. The department has come a long way over the last two decades and envisages a new era in cancer care with a dedicated oncology wing commencing in 2023. This new phase of expansion will bring a state-of-the-art radiotherapy setup, modern operation theatres and diagnostic facilities. Experienced faculty has already been inducted and the strength of faculty, resident doctors and staff will further expand.
