The Centre consistently invests in new technologies that have been shown to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment, ensuring that patients have access to the best care possible. Patients have access to the full complement of our specialists, many of whom are internationally recognised experts in their field.

BLK Cancer Centre is considered among the top cancer hospitals in India, majorly because of a few differentiating reasons, some of which are listed below.

State-of-the-art Facilities / Infrastructure / Technology: BLK Cancer Centre has developed holistic strategies to prevent and cure Cancer by combining state-of-the-art technology and facilities with the latest advances in patient-focused treatment in a warm and supportive environment. 

The Centre consistently invests in new technologies such as advanced Robotic Surgical Interventions, Next Generation Image-guided Intensity-modulated Radiation Therapy- TomoTherapy, HDR Brachytherapy, facility for Total Body Irradiation etc. that has shown to improve cancer diagnosis and treatment. 

Comprehensive Patient Care: The Centre was conceived to provide personalised and comprehensive Cancer Care with a patient-centric multidisciplinary approach. A team of highly qualified Medical Oncologist, Surgical Oncologist, Radiation Oncologist, Onco Pathologist, Radiologist and other allied specialists work seamlessly to ensure that the entire medical needs of the patients are handled meticulously. This ‘Combined Management’ approach optimises patient care to a highly personalised level.

Tumour Board: The Tumour Board at BLK Cancer Centre plays a critical role in multidisciplinary Cancer Care. The team of specialists from Medical Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Radiology, Genetics, Histo-pathology and Haemotology collaboratively offer most advanced patient care by reviewing each patient's condition and determining the best treatment plan.
The Tumour Board focusses on every minute detail of patient care, evaluating all the treatment options and formulating the best treatment plan for the patient.

Community Outreach: BLK Cancer Centre had initiated a community outreach campaign– “Know Cancer – No Cancer” with an aim to provide people with easy access to high-end services, specialised treatment under the supervision of medical experts. The campaign was launched to make people aware of the symptoms and risk factors associated with cancer, importance of early detection and treatment to avoid associated risks with the disease.

The campaign has a wide outreach not only in Delhi- NCR but other adjoining cities of neighbouring states such as Haryana, Punjab, U.P. and Uttarakhand. We have recently been honoured with the Indian Healthcare Excellence Award for the Best Cancer Awareness Campaign.

The Centre leverages the use of cutting-edge medical technologies and surgical techniques while following stringent quality protocols. These techniques and technologies majorly focus on conserving organs and their functions without compromising on the overall survival outcomes. Some of the technologies and treatment techniques available at the Centre are:

• Robotic Surgery
• HIPEC Technology (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy)
• TomoTherapy (North India’s first next generation Integrated Image-guided Intensity-modulated radiation therapy)
• Immunotherapy
• Trilogy Tx Linear Accelerator
• HDR Brachytherapy and facility for Total Body Irradiation (TBI)

With state-of-the-art equipment and facilities, BLK Cancer Centre stands among the select cancer institutions in India that offer highly advanced treatment programmes for various oncological cases.

• Medical Oncology Programme
  
  Medical Oncology Programme at BLK Cancer Centre is the most comprehensive cancer diagnosis and treatment programmes in India.The comprehensive programme is supported by a team of fully trained Medical Oncologists with rich experience of managing all types of Cancers using  Chemotherapy, Immunotherapy and Targeted Therapy in combination with chemotherapy to more effectively treat cancer. In addition, side effects of Chemotherapy, ranging from common to rare, are successfully managed so that patients can lead relatively normal lives while receiving Chemotherapy.
  
  The Unit is backed by OPD, Day Care services and fully-equipped-round-the-clock emergency and  critical care unit. The OPD services are designed on an organ specific approach where each patient is evaluated by a specialist oncologist dealing with a specific system.
  
  The programme offers comprehensive patient care along with expertise, assurance and dedication of all the important stakeholders.


• Surgical Oncology Programme:
  The Surgical Oncology Programme covers the entire cancer continuum, including screening and prevention, early detection, diagnosis, staging, local and systemic treatment, rehabilitation, survivorship and palliative care 
  BLK Super Speciality Hospital is among the select medical institutions in the country which offer the highly advanced Surgical Oncology Programme. Equipped with state-of-the-art equipment and facility, BLK Cancer Centre hosts some of the top specialists in the field of Robotic Surgery in the country and offers an integrated Robotics programme for various oncological cases.

   

  Robotic Surgery is an advanced form of minimally invasive surgery where surgeons use a computer-controlled robot to assist them in certain surgical procedures. Robotics offer multiple advantages and has revolutionised the surgical approach in many complex oncological procedures. Maintaining oncological standards, improving peri-operative outcomes and functional results, and minimising complications are the principles that inspired the minimally invasive approach in oncological surgery.

  In recent years, Robotic Surgery has become a new standard of treatment for many oncological cases including Head and Neck Cancer, Thorax and Lung Cancer, Thyroid Cancer, Gynaecological Cancer, Gastrointestinal Cancer and Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA), among others.

• Radiation Oncology Programme
  Radiation Oncology Programme at the Centre include  advanced cancer treatment facilities such as TomoTherapy, Trilogy Tx Linear Accelerator, HDR Brachytherapy and facility for Total Body Irradiation (TBI). BLK Super Speciality Hospital is the only Hospital inNorth India to offer the most advanced configuration of Tomotherapy which features 3-dimensional on-board Megavoltage Computed Tomography(MVCT) and the latest configuration of Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT).

  These techniques allow the Centre to offer higher, more effective doses of radiation to tumours while minimising vulnerability to neighbouring healthy tissues and organs. In addition to MRI and CT, the team of professionals, including radiation oncologists, medical physicists and technologists use advanced imaging techniques to detect cancer more accurately leading to higher cure rates with minimal complications. 

  Some of the key highlights of the programme are:
  
  Experience and advanced technology: The programme combines the quality and capability of state-of-the-art equipment with the expertise and compassion of the medical staff.
  
  Specialized skills: Each radiation oncologist has specialized training in performing radiation treatment for people with cancer and those with certain noncancerous (benign) conditions. The doctors further specialise by concentrating their individual practices on treating different types of cancers, including complex and rare cancers. This specialized expertise ensures precision treatment and improved outcomes.
  
  Tumour Board: The Tumour Board at BLK Cancer Centre plays a critical role in multidisciplinary Cancer Care. The team of specialists from Medical Oncology, Surgical Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Radiology, Genetics, Histo-pathology and Haemotology collaboratively offer most advanced patient care by reviewing each patient's condition and determining the best treatment plan. The Tumour Board focusses on every minute detail of patient care, evaluating all the treatment options and formulating the best treatment plan for the patient.
  
  Customised Treatment : The programme offers tailored treatment to patient’s needs. After the radiation oncologist identifies the areas to be treated, radiation is directed to the cancerous tumors to minimise the dose of radiation to normal tissues.
  
  Comprehensive Cancer Centre: The programme is part of comprehensive cancer centre, which recognizes scientific excellence, a strong research programme and a multidisciplinary approach to cancer prevention, diagnosis and treatment.
   

The Centre  is dedicated towards improving the quality of life of every cancer patient and strives to provide them with the best support services, from diagnosis to post-hospitalisation. 
Some of the programmes and services available to the patientsare:  

• Genetic Counselling 
• Voice Clinic
