Why Manipal Hospitals?
Cancer is not one disease but hundreds, each with its own behaviour, prognosis, and treatment. A breast cancer with HER2 amplification is treated differently from one that is hormone-receptor positive. A lung cancer with an EGFR mutation may respond to a daily pill rather than intravenous chemotherapy. At Manipal Hospital Whitefield, oncologists use immunohistochemistry, molecular testing, and genomic profiling to identify these distinctions. The programme is supported by:
- Before a multidisciplinary tumour board meeting, we discuss all cases and determine the most appropriate evidence-based treatment approach.
- Extensive diagnostics using modern imaging, pathology, and molecular tests to precisely characterise.
- Evidence-based treatment methods for all major cancers, including breast, lung, gastrointestinal, gynaecological and haematological malignancies.
- Access to targeted therapy and immunotherapy for selected patients according to molecular profiling
- Comprehensive supportive care services, including pain management, nutritional support, and psychosocial counselling.
- Individualised therapy regimens based on the patient’s age, performance status, and personal preferences.
- Clinical trials for eligible patients seeking access to innovative treatment medicines.
- Survivorship programs are comprehensive and focus on long-term follow-up and quality of life after treatment.
Our multidisciplinary tumour boards and precision treatment approaches have established us as one of the best cancer hospitals in Whitefield, Bangalore.
