Our Uniqueness
In minimal access surgery, a surgeon makes tiny holes (0.5 to 1 cm) in the patient’s abdomen or thorax rather than large incisions & entering the patient’s body cavity. The surgeon then inserts a tiny telescope that has magnified vision & uses a stick-like instrument to carry out the procedure. Laparoscopy or thoracoscopy are the terms used to describe this process. The procedure may be referred to as a thoracoscopic esophagectomy, or another name depending on the organs that are being removed.
The benefits of minimally invasive surgery are significant. With smaller incisions, patients experience reduced scarring, less post-operative pain, & faster recovery times. This approach also lowers the risk of infections & complications. In addition, precise nature of minimally invasive surgery allows for targeted tumor removal, improving treatment outcomes. At Prolife Cancer Centre which is the best Cancer Hospital in Pune , we prioritize the advantages of minimally invasive procedures to provide our patients with the best possible care & outcomes.
Organ and function preservation surgery, also known as organ-preserving surgery or organ-sparing surgery, refers to surgical procedures aimed at removing or treating a diseased or damaged organ while preserving its function to the greatest extent possible. The goal is to achieve optimal therapeutic outcomes while minimizing the impact on the patient's overall health and quality of life.
- Chemotherapy: Chemotherapy uses drugs to kill cancer cells or prevent them from growing and dividing. Traditional chemotherapy is not targeted to specific cancer cells, but it can be effective against rapidly dividing cells in general. The cost of chemotherapy can vary depending on the specific drugs used, the duration of treatment, and the setting (hospital or outpatient). Some older chemotherapy drugs may be available in generic forms, which can be more affordable. Additionally, there may be financial assistance programs and resources available for patients to help with the cost of chemotherapy.
- Targeted Therapies: Targeted therapies are drugs that specifically target certain molecules or genetic mutations involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells. These therapies are designed to block the growth signals of cancer cells or interfere with specific proteins involved in tumor growth. Targeted therapies can be more precise and potentially less toxic than traditional chemotherapy. However, they can be expensive, especially newer drugs that are still under patent protection. As patents expire, generic versions may become available, potentially reducing costs. Insurance coverage and patient assistance programs can also help make targeted therapies more affordable for patients.
- Immunotherapies: Immunotherapies harness the body's immune system to fight cancer. They work by stimulating the immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells more effectively. Some types of immunotherapies include immune checkpoint inhibitors, CAR-T cell therapy, and cancer vaccines. Immunotherapies have shown promising results in treating various cancers, but they can be costly. Similar to targeted therapies, the cost of immunotherapies can be influenced by factors such as patents, production processes, and the type of treatment required. As with other cancer treatments, financial assistance programs and insurance coverage can help alleviate the financial burden for patients.

My mother was diagnosed with cancer cervix 3 years back . My entire family was under tention. Then we came to know about Dr sumit Shah. We consulted him, he advice MRI and other investigations. He told us she doesn't need surgery and will need radiation and few chemotherapy injections. We were insistent about surgery but he convinced us that surgery is not the treatment for this stage of disease. My mother completed treatment and now its 3 years complete. My mother is absolutely fine doing all her activities. We are on regular follow up with dr Shah. Thank you dr shah

Friends, it is always better to prevent by taking medical care instead of curing the diseases . when the body suffer by it. I did the same think when I observed that I am finding little difficulty while opening mouth in a large way so I went to general surgeon for consultation, he found white patch inside left cheak . A peace of which was then sent to laboratory examination where their results indicated some doubt so it was again consulted with oncologists Dr. Sumit Shah... and then it was operated by laser and it was called as leucoplakia...the operation was complicated within 15 min...this war due to my habbit of chewing tobbaco for last 55 years....but some times at these stage also honestly feel..that enjoying tobbaco chewing for 55 years is very is not bad against operation in 15 min....so friends it is up to everyone choice to decide what to do..lastly oncologists Dr sumit shah hospital in pune at seven love chowk is a nice hospital for its hospitality
