In today’s world, cancer is no longer treated with a one-size-fits-all approach. With medical science advancing rapidly, cancer treatment has become more focused, less harmful, and far more effective—thanks to a new approach called Precision Oncology.
At the forefront of this transformation is Apollo Cancer Centre, Hyderabad, where each cancer patient receives a treatment plan tailored to the exact nature of their disease.
“Not all cancers behave the same, even if they’re of the same type,” says Dr. Nikhil Suresh Ghadyalpatil, Director and Consultant Medical Oncologist at Apollo Cancer Centre. “Through advanced testing, we can now understand the specific genetic makeup of a tumour, allowing us to choose the treatment that works best for that individual.”
Why Precision Matters in Cancer Treatment
Cancer is complex. Two people with the same diagnosis may respond very differently to the same treatment. Precision Oncology uses genomic testing and biomarkers to identify what’s driving a patient’s tumour — and targets it directly.
This approach improves treatment outcomes and reduces side effects, making life easier for the patient during and after therapy.
World-Class Team, Personalised Care
A key pillar of Apollo Cancer Centre’s success is its Multidisciplinary Tumour Board. This group includes not just oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists — but also organ-specific cancer experts, such as uro-oncologists, gynae-oncologists, breast cancer specialists, bone tumour surgeons, GI cancer experts, and head & neck cancer surgeons.
Together, they review each patient’s case and design a customised treatment plan, ensuring no detail is overlooked.
Advanced Treatments Available at Apollo Cancer Centre
Apollo Cancer Centre offers some of the most cutting-edge technologies and therapies, including:
• Immunotherapy and CAR T-cell therapy
• Antibody-drug conjugates and PRRT
• Robotic surgeries for better precision and recovery
• Organ-preserving surgeries, such as breast conservation, limb salvage, and sphincter-sparing techniques
These options not only increase survival rates but also help patients return to normal life faster and with fewer long-term side effects.
