Gleneagles Hospital in Parel, Mumbai, has inaugurated the Institute of Onco-Science, a comprehensive and coordinated cancer care centre designed to streamline diagnosis, treatment and follow-up for patients facing complex oncological conditions.
The new institute brings medical specialists together under one integrated facility to eliminate fragmentation in care, reducing the need for patients to travel between multiple departments or hospitals for consultations and treatment planning.
The centre assembles four of India’s leading cancer specialists in organ-specific oncology — gastrointestinal and hepatopancreatobiliary cancers, head and neck cancers, uro-oncology and breast cancer — to provide unified, multi-disciplinary expertise in managing diverse tumour types.
Its structure enables single-window access to major cancer disciplines, coordinated diagnostic evaluation, integrated treatment planning and comprehensive support services that include precision oncology, nutrition counselling, psychosocial support and survivorship care.
The institute places strong emphasis on early detection and targeted screening for high-risk populations, advanced and minimally invasive treatments for faster recovery, personalised evidence-based care pathways, and structured long-term follow-up. Its design aims to reduce emotional and financial stress for patients and caregivers while improving clinical outcomes.
Gleneagles Hospital says the Institute of Onco-Science responds to the rising incidence of cancer in India by providing accelerated diagnosis, consolidated clinical decision-making and coordinated care under one roof, with the objective of making expert cancer treatment more accessible, organised and patient-centred.
