Cancer is a disease which is increasing day by day and so are the challenges to its treatment.

Cancer which was synonymous with death a few years ago, is not so deadly now with better understanding of cancer biology and availability of better technology for treatment of cancer patients. With the use of advanced treatment, the results have started improving. At SEAROC CANCER CENTRE, We are a team of dedicated and experienced doctors in different fields of oncology like medical oncology, surgical oncology, radiation oncology, preventive oncology and allied branches like pathology, radiology etc.
SEAROC Cancer Centre was established in year 2008 at both S. K. Soni Hospital and SMS Hospital, however later in year 2014, we improvised to function with full throttle and kept SEAROC Cancer Centre as our only Cancer Centre at Soni Hospital. We are providing state of the art services in medical, surgical and radiation oncology and we are also integrating native forms of treatment in pursuit of improving the results and reducing the cost of treatment.

All types of chemotherapy including day care chemotherapy, infusion chemotherapy, high dose chemotherapy, intrathecal chemotherapy, intra-arterial chemotherapy, intra-vesicle chemotherapy etc. are performed regularly. Laminar air flow chamber is used to prepare chemotherapy solutions under strict aseptic conditions. We use Chemo ports, central lines and Infusion pumps to administer chemotherapy to avoid repeated punctures and in this way make life easy for patients. We follow international guidelines to plan and administer chemotherapy protocols of all types of cancers including solid and hematological tumors. We also use targeted drugs to treat different types of cancer to reduce the toxicity and improve the effectiveness. All types of chemotherapy and targeted therapies are available in our own pharmacy, where we give medicines to patients at very subsidized rates.
