of treatment for almost all malignancies especially in Leukemias
(Blood Cancer), Lymphomas, Germ cell tumor and Choriocarcinoma
,Cancer Breast and Ovary to name a few. The department on a regular
basis gives high dose chemotherapy as per the requirements.
A competent Medical Oncologist is the

Medical Officers intensively trained at Tata Memorial Hospital. The
dedicated team works for twenty four hours taking care of all cancer
patients and all chemotherapy related complications.
The institute is committed for an catheter care clinic ,which will
take care of the central catheters on regular basis. Central line

care , thereby avoiding frequent pricks to the patients. A trained
doctor and staff nurses are engaged round the clock for this purpose.
