Treatments & Procedures

At Onco-Life, we provide end-to-end cancer care under one roof, with treatment plans tailored to the patient’s diagnosis, stage, and overall health. Key treatments and procedures include:
  • Radiation Therapy: Precision radiation therapy to target tumours while protecting healthy tissues as much as possible.
  • Surgical Oncology: Modern cancer surgeries focused on safe tumour removal and quicker recovery, depending on case suitability.
  • Chemotherapy & Targeted Therapy: Evidence-based chemotherapy regimens, and targeted therapies when indicated planned with close monitoring and supportive care.
  • Blood Cancer Care: Diagnosis and management of leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and related blood disorders, with specialist oversight and coordinated treatment planning.
Your oncologist may recommend a single treatment or a combination approach (surgery + chemo + radiation), based on what offers the best outcome and quality of life.
For advanced diagnostic imaging, patients can also access PET/CT scan facilities at nearby locations.

Advanced Technology & Facilities

Good cancer outcomes depend on accurate diagnosis and well-planned treatment. Onco-Life focuses on reliable processes and modern infrastructure to support clinicians and patients. Our centre is designed to enable:
  • Linear Accelerator (LINAC)–based radiation therapy for precise treatment delivery (as per Onco-Life infrastructure planning).
  • Advanced diagnostic support through imaging, pathology, and lab testing to guide timely decisions.
  • Multidisciplinary care planning, where specialists coordinate so surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and supportive care work together as one plan.
We also emphasize patient comfort, counselling, and clear communication because treatment is not only about technology; it’s also about trust and continuity.

Specialist Care for Common Cancers

Breast Cancer Treatment

Breast cancer outcomes improve with early detection and timely treatment. Our team supports breast cancer care through evaluation, imaging guidance, and personalised treatment planning. Depending on the case, treatment may include breast-conserving surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or targeted therapy. Patients are counselled on treatment steps, expected side-effects, nutrition/supportive care, and follow-ups. If a screening test or symptom raises concern, we guide you on next steps quickly so you don’t lose valuable time.

Head, Neck & Oral Cancer

Head, neck, and oral cancers are common in many parts of Maharashtra and require careful evaluation. We support treatment planning for cancers of the mouth, tongue, throat, and neck, often using a combination of surgery, radiation therapy, and systemic therapy based on stage and location. Our aim is to treat the cancer while preserving function as much as possible, with a focus on pain relief, nutrition support, and post-treatment monitoring.

Lung & Prostate Cancer

For lung and prostate cancers, accurate staging and a well-planned approach matter. Treatment may include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, targeted therapy (if indicated), and supportive care. Patients are counselled on symptom management, treatment timelines, and follow-ups. For prostate cancer, treatment decisions are personalised based on risk category, age, and overall health so you get the right intensity of care.

Blood Cancer & Hematology

Blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma need coordinated diagnosis and structured treatment planning. We support evaluation, risk assessment, and ongoing monitoring, with specialist oversight for therapy selection and supportive care. Families receive clear guidance about treatment cycles, infection precautions, and follow-up schedules.

Cashless Cancer Treatment & Insurance Schemes

Cancer care can be financially stressful, so we support patients through cashless / government health schemes wherever eligible. Onco-Life Hospitals mentions support for MJPJAY cashless cancer care, and also provides patient guidance through helpdesk/assistance for scheme processes.
Eligibility and coverage depend on scheme rules, diagnosis, package approvals, and documentation. Our team can guide you on required paperwork, the process timeline, and what is covered so families can focus on treatment instead of running from counter to counter.
