The Department of Oncology at Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals, Raipur, is a comprehensive cancer care centre delivering integrated treatment across medical, surgical, and radiation oncology. The programme is designed to manage the full continuum of cancer care -from early detection and accurate staging to advanced therapies and long-term follow-up.
At the core of the department is a multidisciplinary tumour board approach. Medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiation specialists, and haematologists review complex cases together - bringing imaging, pathology, and clinical inputs into a single decision. It’s a more deliberate way of treating cancer, and often a more precise one.
The hospital offers access to a broad spectrum of cancer treatments, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, radiation therapy, and minimally invasive oncological surgery. Treatment selection is guided not just by the site of cancer, but by tumour biology, staging, and individual patient factors.
A key strength of the programme is its Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) capability offering both autologous and allogeneic transplants for haematological malignancies. For many patients in Central India, this brings access to complex cancer care closer to home without the need to travel to metro centres.
Treatment delivery is supported by a dedicated oncology day care unit, along with integrated services such as palliative care, nutritional support and psychological counselling. These are not add-ons - they are built into the care pathway from the outset.
Equally important is the focus on early detection and screening particularly for high-burden cancers such as breast, cervical, oral and gastrointestinal malignancies. Detecting cancer early significantly alters outcomes, and structured screening programmes remain a critical part of the department’s approach.
Types of Cancers we Treat
CARE Hospitals has expertise in treating all types of cancers ranging from simple to complex and haematological malignancies:
- Solid Tumours
- Breast Cancer: All stages and subtypes including hormone receptor-positive, HER2-positive, and triple-negative are managed with surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy and hormone therapy tailored to individual tumour biology.
- Head and Neck Cancers: Oral cavity, tongue, pharynx, larynx, and thyroid cancers are particularly prevalent in Chhattisgarh given high tobacco and areca nut exposure and are treated with surgery, radiation, and concurrent chemotherapy.
- Lung Cancer: Non-small cell and small cell lung cancer, managed with surgery for resectable disease, chemotherapy, targeted agents for EGFR/ALK-positive disease and checkpoint immunotherapy where PD-L1 expression supports use.
- Gastrointestinal Cancers: Oesophageal, gastric, colorectal, hepatocellular, pancreatic, and gallbladder cancers are managed with multimodal approaches for locally advanced disease and systemic therapy for metastatic presentations.
- Gynaecological Cancers: Cervical, endometrial, and ovarian cancers, with brachytherapy available for cervical cancer alongside surgery and chemotherapy.
- Urological and Musculoskeletal Cancers: Prostate, bladder, kidney and testicular cancers, and bone and soft tissue sarcomas managed with special team input on surgical approach, chemotherapy, and radiation.
- Haematological Malignancies
- Leukaemia and Lymphoma: AML, ALL, CML, CLL, Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphomas are managed with chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody therapy, and BMT for eligible patients.
- Multiple Myeloma and MDS: Myeloma treated with novel agent combinations and autologous transplantation. High-risk MDS managed with hypomethylating agents and allogeneic transplantation where indicated.
Cancer Diagnostics and Technology
Accurate staging determines whether treatment succeeds. At Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals, our diagnostic infrastructure covers:
- PET-CT for integrated metabolic and anatomical staging
- High-resolution CT and MRI with tumour-specific protocols
- Ultrasound-guided and CT-guided biopsy with histopathology and immunohistochemistry
- Molecular tumour profiling including EGFR, ALK, HER2, KRAS, BRAF, MSI, and PD-L1 testing
- Endoscopy and colonoscopy with EUS for locoregional staging
- Bone marrow biopsy, flow cytometry, and cytogenetics for haematological malignancies
- Tumour marker blood tests.
All diagnostic services are available in-house so patients do not travel between facilities to complete a cancer workup.
Cancer Treatments Available
At CARE Hospitals our experts treat wide range of malignancies:
- Medical Oncology
- Chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy delivered in our dedicated oncology day care unit.
- Targeted agents cover EGFR, ALK, HER2, BRAF, CDK4/6, PARP, and VEGF-targeted drugs.

Our Expert Team of Oncology Doctors
A cancer diagnosis changes everything, and the team standing beside you through it matters more than most people realise. At CARE Hospitals, our oncology specialists bring together decades of combined experience, advanced subspecialty training, and a deeply personal commitment to every patient they treat. From complex surgical resections and precision radiation therapy to the latest chemotherapy and immunotherapy protocols, our doctors are equipped to handle every stage and every type of cancer with clinical confidence. But beyond the expertise, what sets our team apart is the way they communicate, the time they take to explain, and the care they bring to every single consultation.
At Ramkrishna CARE Hospitals, Raipur, cancer care is built around one belief to provide personalised, compassionate, and evidence-based treatment to each patient, supported by advanced technology and a multidisciplinary team for optimal outcomes:
- Genuine Multidisciplinary Care: Medical, surgical, and radiation oncology function as a single team, not separate silos. Our multidisciplinary team reviews complex cases jointly to recommend treatment.
- Bone Marrow Transplantation Capability: BMT for blood cancers requires infrastructure, expertise and a dedicated transplant team. We have the capability for autologous and allogeneic transplantation, available in Central India without requiring patients to travel to Delhi or Mumbai.
- Full Treatment Spectrum: We offer chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, and surgical oncology across all major sites and integrated supportive care. Patients do not need to piece together care from multiple hospitals.
- Second Opinion Services: A cancer diagnosis from another centre deserves independent scrutiny. Our oncologists review pathology and imaging independently and confirm or redirect care based on the evidence.
- Minimally Invasive Surgical Oncology: Laparoscopic and thoracoscopic cancer surgery reduces hospital stays and speeds recovery and is important in patients who need adjuvant chemotherapy or radiation to follow.
- Integrated Patient Support: Nutritional counselling, psychological support and palliative care are built into our oncology pathway.
- Accessible From Across Chhattisgarh: Patients from Bilaspur, Durg, Rajnandgaon, Bastar, and Surguja attend regularly.
