Fortis Hospital, Mumbai Cancer Care Department offers comprehensive cancer treatments in Mumbai covering the entire spectrum of diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, recovery and palliative care for managing all types of cancer. Our centre provides modern methods of cancer screening and accurate cancer diagnosis is made possible through high-end technology and equipment. Our physicians, with access to advanced cancer diagnostic tests like pathology lab tests (such as tumour markers), endoscopic tests (such as cystoscopy and sigmoidoscopy), and imaging tests (such as CT, MRI, and PET scans), can detect cancer at the early stages, paving the way for crucial decisions regarding cancer treatment.
Our cancer specialists or surgeons utilise a collaborative approach with experts in departments such as general & laparoscopic surgery, neurology, orthopedic surgery, and plastic surgery to arrive at a customised therapy plan based on the stage and type of malignancy. Multiple leading-edge and combination treatment options can be availed by patients in the areas of medical care (such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy), radiation therapy (such as intensity modulated radiation therapy, brachytherapy) and surgical care (such as the Whipple procedure, minimally invasive parathyroidectomy), including the use of ultra-modern surgical techniques (cryosurgery, laser, robot-assisted).
Pivotal to our cancer programme is access to an ecosystem focused on health education, advanced care, and restoring psychosocial and mental well-being for a better quality of life, extending to post-treatment through patient support groups such as HEAL. The HEAL programme creates ambassadors of care; our patients are an inspiration to others in the community to lead a cancer fearless life.
Fortis Hospital Mumbai takes an evidence-based approach to cancer care, and as a result, we are Mumbai's leading hospital for best cancer treatment that meets international standards.

Rare Surgical Milestone: 32 Loose Bodies Weighing 250 gms removed during Total Knee Replacement Surgery for a 65-Year-Old Woman
Rare Surgical Milestone at Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh
In a remarkable achievement, our orthopaedic team led by Dr. (Prof) Amite Pankaj Aggarwal, Principal Director & Head, Fortis Bone & Joint Institute, performed a Total Knee Replacement while removing 32 intra-articular loose bodies weighing 250 gms—some almost the size of a walnut.
This exceptionally rare case of secondary synovial chondromatosis required meticulous planning and advanced surgical techniques. The patient, a 65-year-old woman, is now recovering well with significant pain relief and restored mobility.
“Performing a knee replacement in such a compromised joint was challenging, but we were able to fully restore function and improve quality of life,” says Dr. Aggarwal.
This feat reflects the clinical excellence, surgical expertise and compassionate care that define Fortis Hospital, Shalimar Bagh.
