Oral cancer
The most common cancer we treat in Saurashtra, and one of the most treatable when it is found early.
Head and neck cancer
Cancers of the throat, the salivary glands, and the nose and sinuses — next to the mouth, but treated as their own group.
Thyroid cancer
A lump in the front of the neck is the usual way this is found. Most thyroid lumps are not cancer, and finding out is straightforward.
Voice box (larynx) cancer
A hoarse voice that does not settle is the usual first sign, and it is often what brings this one to a doctor while it is still small.
Breast cancer
One of the most common cancers we treat. Most breast lumps are not cancer, and finding out is a short set of tests.
Cervical and gynaecological cancer
Cancers of the cervix, the uterus and the ovaries — three different diseases, grouped here because one team cares for all three.
Lung cancer
A cough that has not settled is the usual reason people come in, and most of the time it turns out to be something else.
Gastrointestinal cancer
Cancers of the digestive tract — the food pipe, the stomach, the liver, the pancreas, the gall bladder and the bowel. One team treats the whole tract, and each part of it behaves differently.
Prostate and urological cancer
Cancers of the prostate, bladder, kidney and testis — found in different ways, and treated by one surgical team.
Sarcoma (bone and soft-tissue cancer)
An uncommon group of cancers that begin in bone or in the soft tissue of the body. Most lumps are not sarcoma — and where one might be, the order in which the tests are done matters.
