• 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 in North 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.
