Oncology in Dombivli

Accurate diagnosis and detailed assessment form the foundation of effective cancer care. At Jupiter Hospital, we follow standard diagnostic protocols to confirm the presence of cancer, determine its stage, and plan appropriate treatment. Early detection plays a crucial role in improving treatment outcomes.

Methods of Cancer Diagnosis

Depending on symptoms, risk factors, and clinical findings, a cancer diagnosis may involve the following steps:

• Physical Examination: Doctors conduct a detailed examination to identify lumps, swelling, skin changes, organ enlargement, or ulcers in areas such as the breast, oral cavity, neck, abdomen, or lymph nodes.
• Laboratory Tests: Blood and urine tests help detect abnormal markers and indicators that may be associated with cancer or related conditions.
• Imaging and Nuclear Medicine: Our diagnostic facilities include CT scans, MRI, PET scans, ultrasound, bone scans, and X-rays. These tests help identify the location and spread of cancer, assess response to treatment, and detect recurrence.

PET/CT scans are used to evaluate disease extent, monitor treatment response, identify the primary tumour, guide biopsy decisions, and assist in radiotherapy planning when required.

In most cases, a biopsy is essential to confirm cancer. A tissue sample is examined in the laboratory to determine whether the growth is malignant and to guide further treatment planning.

As a trusted cancer hospital in Dombivli, Jupiter Hospital remains committed to delivering accurate diagnosis, coordinated treatment, and continuous patient support throughout the cancer care journey.
