Apollo Cancer Centre, Chennai, is a specialised cancer-care institution located in Teynampet, Chennai. Established in 1993, it has provided comprehensive oncology treatment for more than three decades and forms part of the Apollo Cancer Centres network.
The hospital follows a 360-degree cancer-care model, integrating medical oncology, surgical oncology and radiation oncology with diagnostic specialists and other supporting disciplines. Complex cancer cases are reviewed through a multidisciplinary Tumour Board, allowing specialists to jointly develop an individualised treatment strategy.
The centre has 300 beds and dedicated infrastructure for chemotherapy and stem-cell transplantation. Advanced oncology technologies include PET-CT, PET-MRI, CyberKnife, TrueBeam STX, brachytherapy, digital mammography with tomosynthesis and other precision diagnostic and radiation systems.
The hospital treats cancers involving the breast, gastrointestinal system, head and neck, blood and bone marrow, lungs, brain and nervous system, urinary tract, reproductive organs, bones and soft tissue, skin and paediatric malignancies.
The former Apollo Cancer Centre has recently been expanded and renamed Apollo Speciality Hospitals, Teynampet. Oncology remains a major Centre of Excellence, while the hospital now additionally provides specialist care across cardiology, neurosciences, gastroenterology, pulmonology, orthopaedics, spine, urology, emergency medicine and critical care.
International patients can receive support from initial medical-record assessment through specialist consultation, treatment planning, travel preparation, admission and post-treatment follow-up.
