Iswarya Hospital Launches Advanced Cancer Centre in Chennai

Iswarya Hospital has inaugurated the Iswarya Cancer Centre at its OMR Taramani facility in Chennai, further strengthening its capabilities in advanced cancer diagnosis and treatment. The new centre introduces a range of oncology services, including high-precision radiotherapy, immunotherapy, complex cancer surgeries and AI-powered PET-CT imaging, aimed at enabling more accurate early detection and evaluation of cancer.

The centre was inaugurated by Chief Guest Sathyaraj, acclaimed actor and public figure, in the presence of Dr. S. Rajasundaram, CEO of Iswarya Hospital, and Dr. Arun Muthuvel, Managing Director of Iswarya Hospital, along with the hospital’s multidisciplinary oncology team.

The newly established cancer centre brings together comprehensive oncology services under one roof. These include surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, bone marrow transplant, pediatric oncology, preventive oncology, nuclear medicine and theranostics, onco-pathology, and palliative care. The facility is also equipped to perform complex oncological surgeries across multiple cancer types, supported by advanced operation theatre infrastructure and specialised surgical teams.

In addition to clinical expertise, the centre incorporates advanced diagnostic and treatment technologies such as AI-powered PET-CT imaging and high-precision radiotherapy systems, which are designed to improve the accuracy of cancer detection, staging and treatment delivery. The centre also offers immunotherapy, a treatment approach that stimulates the body’s immune system to identify and destroy cancer cells more effectively.

Speaking at the launch, Dr. S. Rajasundaram, CEO, Iswarya Hospital, said:
“Cancer continues to be one of the most significant health challenges in India today. According to the Indian Council of Medical Research and the National Cancer Registry Programme, new cancer cases are projected to rise to around 15.7 lakh cases by 2025, with breast, lung, and oral cancers remaining among the most commonly diagnosed cancers in the country. Breast cancer alone is expected to account for more than two lakh new cases annually, making it the leading cancer among Indian women.”

He further added:
“One of the biggest challenges we face is late diagnosis, which significantly reduces survival outcomes. The introduction of AI-powered PET-CT technology and high-precision radiotherapy at the Iswarya Cancer Centre allows us to detect disease earlier, assess its spread more accurately, and guide treatment decisions with greater confidence.”

Dr. Arun Muthuvel, Managing Director, Iswarya Hospital, said:
“At Iswarya, our focus has always been on combining advanced technology with compassionate care. The launch of the Iswarya Cancer Centre represents a major milestone in expanding our oncology services. By bringing together expert specialists, complex cancer surgery capabilities, advanced imaging technologies, immunotherapy, and integrated treatment facilities under one roof, we aim to deliver comprehensive cancer care that patients can trust. Early detection and timely treatment are critical to improving outcomes.”

The AI-powered PET-CT scan available at the centre enhances diagnostic precision by combining advanced imaging technology with artificial intelligence-based analysis. This enables clinicians to detect cancer at earlier stages, monitor treatment response more effectively, and develop personalised treatment plans for patients.

With the launch of the Iswarya Cancer Centre in OMR Taramani, the hospital aims to expand access to advanced oncology services, multidisciplinary cancer care and early diagnosis, supporting patients in Chennai and surrounding regions with integrated cancer treatment under one roof.
