“Cancer if treated properly can be cured”
Advanced Cancer Care
Comprehensive Cancer Care Under One Roof

At M R Hospitals, Thanjavur, we provide comprehensive cancer care with an emphasis on accurate diagnosis, multidisciplinary decision-making and advanced surgical treatment.

Cancer treatment is not the same for every patient. The right treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer, its location, the patient's overall health and the biology of the disease.

Our cancer care team brings together specialists from surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, gastroenterology, radiology, pathology, anaesthesia and critical care to develop an individualised treatment plan for every patient. 

A Complete Approach to Cancer Care

Cancer treatment often involves more than one modality. Depending on the cancer, patients may require a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and supportive care.
At M R Hospitals, treatment is planned around the individual patient and coordinated between the relevant specialties.

From Diagnosis to Recovery
Diagnosis → Staging → Tumour Board → Treatment Planning → Surgery / Oncology Treatment → Recovery & Follow-up
Our goal is to provide patients in Thanjavur and the Delta region access to advanced, evidence-based cancer care with the expertise and technology required for complex malignancies. 

Cancer Care at M R Hospitals

Our approach focuses on four principles:

01 — Accurate Diagnosis

Appropriate imaging, endoscopic evaluation, biopsy and pathological assessment.

02 — Multidisciplinary Planning

Complex cases are reviewed through the Tumour Board to determine the most appropriate treatment strategy.

03 — Advanced Surgery

Laparoscopic, thoracoscopic and open surgical techniques are selected according to the disease and patient.

04 — Comprehensive Perioperative Care

Anaesthesia, critical care, nutrition, pain management and postoperative rehabilitation are integrated into the patient's treatment pathway

Periampullary and Related Cancers

We provide surgical evaluation and treatment for cancers arising around the head of the pancreas, ampulla, distal bile duct and duodenum.

About

Led by Experienced Surgical Oncology Expertise

The surgical oncology programme at M R Hospitals is led by Dr. Rajiv, Surgical Oncologist, with expertise in advanced minimally invasive cancer surgery and thoracoscopic procedures, including VATS.

Advanced Minimally Invasive Cancer Surgery

Laparoscopic Cancer Surgery

Selected abdominal and gastrointestinal cancers can be treated using advanced laparoscopic techniques.
Depending on the cancer and stage, laparoscopic procedures may be considered for:
• Stomach cancer
• Colorectal cancer
• Liver tumours
• Pancreatic and periampullary tumours
• Gallbladder cancer
• Other selected abdominal malignancies
Minimally invasive surgery may provide smaller incisions, reduced postoperative pain, earlier mobilisation and faster recovery in appropriately selected patients.

Thoracoscopic Cancer Surgery – VATS

Advanced Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery
Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS) is a minimally invasive approach to surgery within the chest.
At M R Hospitals, advanced thoracoscopic techniques are used for selected patients requiring surgical treatment of thoracic diseases and cancers.
VATS may be considered for appropriately selected conditions involving:
• Lung
• Mediastinum
• Pleura
• Oesophagus
• Other thoracic structures
Compared with conventional open thoracic surgery, minimally invasive thoracic approaches may offer smaller incisions, less postoperative pain and faster recovery in selected patients.
The suitability of VATS depends on the location, size and extent of the disease and the patient's overall condition. 

Surgical Oncology

Surgery remains an important component of treatment for many solid tumours.
Our surgical oncology team provides specialised management of cancers involving the:
• Gastrointestinal tract
• Liver
• Pancreas and biliary system
• Gallbladder
• Colorectal region
• Oesophagus
• Stomach
• Thorax and lung
• Other selected solid tumours
The objective is not simply to remove the tumour, but to achieve appropriate oncological clearance while preserving function and enabling the best possible recovery.
