Every year, thousands of people are detected with cancer. It is considered one of the most dreaded diseases all over the world. Many people are still dying from the disease, though there has been significant progress in medical research for cures, medicines, techniques, and medical infrastructure, especially with regards to cancer treatment. Because the treatment is not affordable by the majority of the population.

Most of the patients prefer India for their treatment, for several reasons like cost-effectiveness, different treatment options, renowned and experienced doctors and most importantly hospitals equipped with modern facilities. In India, the different metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad are mostly preferred for the treatment. But, amongst these, cancer hospital in Mumbai is considered one of the best options because of several reasons like –

The cancer treatment cost in the city is comparatively less from different cities as well as from other developed countries like US, Middle East, Europe, Africa, Bangladesh etc. The affordable cost is a major factor why people opt for India. The cost is sometimes affected by a few factors such as type, stage, treatment, location of cancer, chemotherapy dosage and treatment setting. Cancer hospital in India are also accredited by the JCI (Joint Commission International) and NABH (National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers) for international patients. Moreover, the surgeons are experienced and internationally trained.

In Mumbai, the treatment options are Radiation Therapy, Chemotherapy, Surgery, Immunotherapy and Hormone Therapy and all these are available here in the hospitals. Many latest surgery technologies are also used here like surgical robots, laser surgery, electronic surgery, etc. which gives advantages like excellent precision, operates tumours which are very close to sensitive organs, reduced visibility of scars, low recurrence rate and so on. The most developed diagnostic tools and technology ensures not only early detection of tumours but also monitors its progression and response to treatment.

A few years back, there was a case of an international patient from Africa who came here in Fortis, Mulund, for her cancer treatment. Her name was Emily (name changed). She was 40 years old and was having facial swelling. She has diagnosed with stage 3A lung cancer and was first suggested for chemotherapy. It was a large tumour. After 15 weeks of the treatment there was no positive effect rather it progressed to a lymph node under the left arm which was stage 4 cancer. So, the team of the doctor decided to opt for other treatment option and suggested her for immunotherapy. Enough encouraging cases were available at that time like hers. She was also given enough detailed information about the option.

Her therapy started. It was done every 2 weeks. After the first treatment, she felt a little sore but the next day she went for a little workout and then she was feeling better. Slowly, her skin color was back and hair started to grow which was affected due to chemotherapy. She started feeling more energetic. After the first scan, few spots were observed but after 16 treatments, no evidence of the disease was observed. It was the best news of her life. These all were possible only because of the experience and dedication of the doctors. And now, after 4 years of her treatment, she is leading a healthy, normal cancer-free life.

Many such cases are seen every year in different hospitals of Mumbai and are handled very well by the surgeons and the team. All the patients suffering from this chronic disease should opt for the best treatment possible and Mumbai is one such place where patients will get the preferred and required treatment.
