The centre is also equipped to perform complex oncological surgeries for various cancers, supported by advanced operation theatre infrastructure and specialized surgical teams.

The centre also offers immunotherapy, an advanced treatment approach that enhances the body’s immune system to recognize and fight 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. 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.”
