HCG Cancer Centre, Visakhapatnam

HCG Cancer Centre in Visakhapatnam is a dedicated cancer hospital with 88 beds. It offers inpatient and day-care oncology services, with TrueBeam radiotherapy, dedicated chemotherapy facilities and imaging and diagnostics for cancer. Care covers medical, surgical and radiation oncology.

Systemic treatment may include chemotherapy, immunotherapy or hormone therapy according to tumour type and stage. Surgical oncologists manage operable disease, while radiation oncologists plan external-beam or other radiotherapy where indicated. Screening, imaging, pathology and biopsy contribute to diagnosis, and organ-focused teams help select a combined treatment sequence for complex cases.

The hospital provides inpatient and day-care oncology services, alongside pain management, nutrition and palliative support. HCG’s treatment-planning model uses input from different cancer disciplines so that surgery, medicines and radiation can be considered together.
