Accurate and early diagnosis is the foundation of effective cancer care. At Sagar Hospital & Cancer Care, our Medical Oncology team follows a meticulous, evidence-based diagnostic pathway to determine the exact type, stage, and genetic makeup of the cancer. This allows us to tailor treatment plans with high precision, ensuring the best possible outcomes for every patient. Utilizing cutting-edge technology and multidisciplinary expertise, we are committed to delivering timely, accurate, and comprehensive diagnostics to guide every step of the cancer journey—from detection to monitoring therapy response.

Diagnostic Tools and Techniques We Use:

  • Blood and Tumor Marker Tests – To detect abnormal proteins and substances linked to specific cancers

  • Advanced Imaging (CT, MRI, PET scans) – For detailed visualization of tumors, metastasis, and staging

  • Ultrasound-Guided Assessments – For real-time imaging during biopsy and evaluation of soft tissue lesions

  • Biopsy and Histopathological Evaluation – The gold standard for confirming cancer through tissue analysis

  • Bone Marrow Aspiration and Biopsy – Especially used in blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma

  • Molecular and Genetic Testing – To identify mutations and biomarkers for targeted and immunotherapies

  • Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Analysis – To determine the protein expression and classification of tumor cells

  • Cytogenetic and FISH Testing – For chromosomal analysis in both solid and hematologic cancers

  • Liquid Biopsy – A non-invasive method for detecting cancer DNA and monitoring treatment response

  • Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Detection – Crucial for tracking microscopic disease in blood cancers

Our comprehensive diagnostic approach ensures that every patient benefits from personalized, precision oncology care that begins with a definitive diagnosis and continues with close monitoring throughout their treatment journey.

Medical Oncology focuses on treating cancer using non-surgical methods like chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy. Unlike surgical or radiation oncology, it treats cancer systemically throughout the body.

Our Medical Oncology department treats a wide range of cancers including breast, lung, colorectal, blood cancers (like leukemia and lymphoma), ovarian, prostate, head and neck, and gastrointestinal cancers.

Common side effects include fatigue, nausea, hair loss, and lowered immunity. At Sagar Hospital, we provide supportive care, medications, and nutritional guidance to minimize and manage these effects effectively.

We use detailed diagnostic tools like biopsies, genetic tests, and imaging to develop tailored treatment plans based on cancer type, stage, and the patient’s overall health.

Yes, we provide integrated palliative care to manage pain, improve quality of life, and support patients with advanced-stage cancer, alongside active treatment or as a standalone service.
