Oncology and Preventive Oncology

In this period of medical cost containment, Hope Healthcare Oncologists provide not just better treatment for cancer but also efficient programs for cancer awareness, screening, prevention and early detection. We vehemently want to convey the message that “Cancer is curable if detected early”. With this strong social aim, Hope Healthcare has established the Preventive Oncology Department mainly to concentrate on developing awareness amongst the general public, about the need to screen for early detection of cancer.
