Here are some of the approaches to cancer treatment used by the oncologists at Artemis, Gurgaon:
Surgery
Surgery is one of the primary approaches for treating various types of cancers, as it offers the most effective way for removing tumours that have not yet spread to other parts of the body. Our surgical oncology department focuses on minimally-invasive techniques to ensure effective treatment and faster recovery. In fact, Artemis Hospitals is also North India’s first hospital to implement M6 Cyberknife technology, a minimally-invasive radiosurgery system that facilitates precise and painless robotic stereotactic radiosurgery for tumours in the brain and body.
Here are some of the cancer surgeries performed at Artemis Hospitals:
Breast Cancer Surgery:
Lumpectomy: Removal of the tumour and some surrounding tissue.
Mastectomy: Partial or total removal of one or both breasts.
Reconstructive Surgery: Breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
Lung Cancer Surgery:
Lobectomy: Removal of one lobe of the lung.
Pneumonectomy: Removal of the entire lung in severe cases.
Wedge Resection or Segmentectomy: Removal of the cancerous part of the lung.

Chemotherapy
At Artemis Hospitals, chemotherapy is a key component of cancer treatment, often used in conjunction with surgery, radiation therapy, or other advanced therapies. We are equipped to offer a wide range of chemotherapies, administered by experienced oncologists who tailor treatment plans based on the type and stage of cancer, as well as other factors such as the patient's overall health and other pre-existing conditions.
Here are some of the key chemotherapies used by the cancer doctors at Artemis Hospitals, Gurgaon:
Neoadjuvant Chemotherapy: Administered before surgery to shrink tumours, making them easier to remove and increasing the likelihood of successful surgery. It is commonly used for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and lung cancer.
Adjuvant Chemotherapy: Given after surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence, often used in cancers like breast, colorectal, ovarian, and prostate cancers.
Palliative Chemotherapy: Used in advanced stages of cancer to control symptoms, reduce tumour size, and improve the quality of life of the patient.
Concurrent Chemoradiation: Combines chemotherapy with radiation therapy, enhancing the effectiveness of both treatments. This is commonly used in head and neck cancers, cervical cancer, and lung cancer.
Highlights of Our Chemotherapy Services
Advanced Testing and Personalised Plans: At Artemis Hospitals, our oncologists use advanced testing methods, such as genetic profiling and biomarker analysis, to determine the most effective chemotherapy drugs for each patient.
Targeted Chemotherapy Drugs: Our oncologists use targeted chemotherapy drugs that target specific cancer cells while minimising damage to healthy tissues. These are particularly effective in breast cancer (HER2-positive), lung cancer (EGFR mutation), and colorectal cancer.
Daycare Chemotherapy Unit: Artemis, Gurgaon has a specialised day care chemotherapy unit equipped with advanced infusion chairs and monitoring systems, where patients can receive chemotherapy infusions without the need for overnight hospitalisation.
Reduced Side-Effects: Our oncology team focuses on minimising the side-effects of chemotherapy, using modern anti-nausea drugs, hydration therapy, medications, and dietary recommendations. We also offer cold cap therapy to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy.
Advanced Techniques: Our oncologists use advanced chemotherapy techniques such as Intraperitoneal (IP) Chemotherapy that allows higher concentrations of the drug to reach cancer cells, and high-dose chemotherapy for certain types of blood cancers.
Radiation Therapy
Artemis Hospitals offers a wide range of radiation therapies for cancer patients. In radiation therapy, high-energy beams, such as X-rays or Protons, are used to target and eliminate cancer cells. Our radio-oncologists in Gurgaon use cutting-edge technologies to ensure patients receive the best care, while minimising side effects.
Radiation therapies available at Artemis Hospitals, Gurgaon, include but are not limited to:
External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): The most common form of radiation therapy, where high-energy beams are directed at the tumour from outside the body. Techniques such as Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) allow precise targeting of cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): A highly precise treatment that delivers very high doses of radiation to small, well-defined tumours in fewer treatment sessions. This is often used for cancers in areas such as the lungs, liver, and spine, where precision is crucial to avoid harming nearby organs.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): A non-invasive procedure used primarily for brain tumours and neurological conditions. SRS delivers a high dose of radiation in a single session, targeting tumours with extreme precision.
Brachytherapy (Internal Radiation Therapy): Involves placing radioactive sources directly inside or near the tumour, delivering high doses of radiation precisely to the cancer site. It is commonly used to treat prostate, cervical, breast, and gynecologic cancers.
Immunotherapy
As a leading centre for cancer treatment in India, Artemis Hospitals offers various types of immunotherapy as part of the treatment options for cancer patients. In this innovative approach, immunotherapeutic agents or drugs are used to stimulate or boost the body’s immune system to fight off and destroy cancer cells. Compared to traditional cancer treatments, immunotherapy has fewer side effects, providing renewed hope to patients across different stages of their cancer journey.
The oncologists at Artemis Hospitals, Gurgaon, use various approaches to administer immunotherapy. These include:
Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors: These drugs block the proteins that prevent immune cells from attacking cancer. Commonly used for lung and kidney cancer, and melanoma.
Monoclonal Antibodies: Lab-engineered antibodies designed to target specific proteins on cancer cells, helping the immune system destroy them.
Cancer Vaccines: These stimulate the immune system to recognize and fight cancer cells, either by preventing cancer or targeting existing cancer.
Adoptive Cell Therapy (CAR-T): A process where a patient’s T cells are modified in a lab to better attack cancer cells. Used primarily for blood cancers.
Cytokine Therapy: Uses cytokines to enhance the immune system’s ability to fight cancer, particularly effective in cancers like melanoma and renal cell carcinoma.
Targeted Therapy
Another modern treatment for cancer with minimal side-effects, targeted therapy involves the use of drugs to block specific molecules involved in the growth and spread of cancer cells. Medical oncologists at Artemis Hospitals personalise this cancer treatment approach for each patient by identifying unique biomarkers and conducting genetic testing, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the treatment.
Other Specialised Procedures Available at Artemis Hospitals
Stem Cell Transplant
For certain types of cancers, particularly blood cancer, bone marrow or cord blood transplant is the most effective cure. Stem cell transplant replaces cancer-affected blood-forming cells with healthy stem cells, aiming to restore normal blood production.
At Artemis Hospitals, we have a specialised Centre of Excellence, the Artemis Transplant Centre that facilitates bone marrow transplants. Our skilled medical oncologists perform various types of transplants, including cord blood, unrelated donor, haplo-identical, and autologous bone marrow transplants..
Central Venous Access: PICCs, Hickman’s Catheters, and Chemo Ports
Artemis Hospitals provides central venous access devices, including PICCs, Hickman’s catheters, and chemo ports to ensure treatment and care for patients. These are particularly useful for patients requiring blood transfusions, parenteral nutrition, pain management, and long-term medication.
The Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter (PICC) is a minimally invasive method of administering long-term intravenous therapies. Chemo ports are implanted beneath the skin, allowing easy access for the administration of chemotherapy drugs, while Hickman’s catheters, inserted into the chest, facilitate easy access for blood transfusions and chemotherapy.
Blood Component Therapy
Artemis Hospitals offers blood component therapy to support various treatments. Our oncologists in Gurgaon are backed by a 24/7 blood centre, which provides access to essential blood components, including platelet concentrates, fresh frozen plasma, and packed red cells.
We also maintain a well-stocked storage facility for preserving stem cells required for bone marrow transplants. Artemis Hospitals conducts rigorous testing of blood components for infections to ensure they are ready for use by our cancer specialists.
