1. What types of cancer do you treat at Coimbatore Cancer Clinic?
We provide diagnosis and treatment for all major cancers — including breast, lung, liver, colon, prostate, gynecologic, head & neck, hematologic (blood cancers), and rare tumours.
Our expertise spans both solid and blood cancers, with personalized plans for each patient.
2. Do I need a referral to visit the clinic?
No referral is needed. You can book an appointment directly by phone or through our online appointment form.
3. What are your clinic hours?
We are open Monday to Saturday: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM.
Appointments can be scheduled in advance for consultations, follow-ups, and treatment planning.
4. How long does it take to identify the origin?
Most cases yield predictive results within 10–14 days using integrated IHC + NGS.

We provide comprehensive diagnostics including:
Imaging (CT, MRI, PET-CT)
Biopsy and Histopathology
Molecular profiling (NGS)
Genetic and biomarker testing (BRCA, EGFR, ALK, PD-L1, MSI)

This allows accurate diagnosis and precise treatment selection.

Yes. We provide genetic counselling and testing for hereditary cancers such as breast, ovarian, colon, and endometrial cancers.
Early identification of at-risk individuals helps with targeted prevention, screening, and family counselling.

9. How do you decide the best treatment plan?
Each case is reviewed by a multidisciplinary tumour board consisting of medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists.
Treatment is tailored based on stage, molecular profile, patient health, and personal preferences.
10. Can treatment be continued if I am already on therapy elsewhere?
Yes. We frequently continue or optimize ongoing treatments for patients who have relocated or want a second opinion on their therapy plan or side-effect management.
11. Do you offer second opinions?
Yes. We offer detailed second-opinion consultations, where we review your existing reports and guide you on the best global-standard options for your specific diagnosis.
12. Is Cancer of Unknown Primary curable?
Yes — certain subsets (axillary-node breast-type, squamous neck-node, peritoneal adenocarcinoma) are potentially curable when treated like their presumed origin.
13. Is pain management part of cancer care at your clinic?
Absolutely. We emphasize comprehensive pain and symptom control using medications, nerve blocks, and supportive therapies.
Our goal is to ensure every patient is treated with comfort, dignity, and respect.
14. Is counselling or psychological support available?
Yes. Our clinic provides psychological counselling and emotional support for patients and caregivers.
We also help connect families to support groups and rehabilitation programs.
15. Do you offer dietary or lifestyle guidance during treatment?
Yes. Our nutrition team provides personalized diet plans to support recovery, reduce side effects, and maintain strength during treatment.
We also advise on exercise, sleep, and stress management.

Our approach emphasizes compassion, dignity, and holistic support for patients and families.
17. What should I bring for my first consultation?
Please bring:
All previous medical records
Biopsy or histopathology reports
Imaging (CT, MRI, PET-CT)
Blood test results
Current medications and allergy list
Insurance details (if applicable)
This ensures a complete and efficient evaluation.
18. How long does a typical consultation take?
A first consultation usually lasts 30–45 minutes, allowing enough time for discussion of your medical history, reports, and treatment options.
Follow-ups typically take 15–20 minutes.
19. Do you treat international patients?
Yes. We assist international and NRI patients with remote consultations, medical documentation, and local coordination for treatment in India.
20. What if no primary is ever found?
Treatment now depends on molecular identity rather than physical origin; with precision therapy, control rates approach site-specific cancers.
