Mohans Medicity Hospital

Our hospital is the only hospital in the entire south Tamilnadu to have a Lady Radiation Oncologist in private sector. Our Radiation Oncologist is trained from Cancer Institute (WIA), Adyar, having special expertise in IMRT, IGRT and brachytherapy techniques.

Our hospital is equipped with state of art mammogram to detect early breast cancer. We also have ultrasound and endoscope facilities. We are pioneers in file needle and trucut biopsy in this part of the world. And our Chairman Dr. B.K.C Mohan Prasad popularized these techniques in the entire south Tamilnadu. Cancer is detectable within minutes using fine needle and trucut biopsy.

Our surgical oncology team is the most experienced team in the entire south Tamilnadu having performed more than 30,000 cancer surgical operations. Our recurrence rate is less than 5% which is in par with international standards. Our area of specialization are Breast Surgery, Head & Neck surgery, Gynaecological surgery, musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal surgeries.

Chemotherapy uses drugs which interfere with the growth and division of malignant cells. Once these drugs are administered, they circulate throughout the body and hence this is more advantageous in the management of cancers that have spread throughout the body like leukemia, lymphomas, and testicular cancers. Essentially the treatment of cancer is multidisciplinary with combinations of Surgery, Radiation Therapy and Chemotherapy in a specific sequence depending on the disease site and stage.

Hormone Therapy has limited use in cancer treatment since only a small minority of tumours are hormone sensitive e.g. breast and prostate cancer. This therapy provides systemic means of treatment, i.e. to the whole body, but without the side effects of chemotherapy.

Immunotherapy is a form of treatment which stimulates the body's immune system to destroy cancer cells. It is expensive, and useful only in a few tumours such as melanomas (type of skin cancer) and renal cancers.

Our hospital is equipped with a specialized medical oncology team with nurses trained in the administration of chemotherapeutic agents for the past 30 years. The unique feature of our chemotherapy system is giving the right drug in the right dosage to the right patient.
