Diagnosis and Assessment in Indore: Jupiter Hospital

Diagnosis and assessment are fundamental elements of healthcare, particularly within the realm of oncology. At Jupiter Hospital in Indore, we emphasise the significance of precise diagnostic testing for confirming the presence of disease, monitoring its progression, and evaluating treatment efficacy. Timely cancer diagnosis is paramount for positive treatment outcomes.

Diverse Approaches to Cancer Diagnosis

To cater to varying needs, we offer different modes of cancer screening, considering the patient's location and risk factors. These include:

• Physical Examination: Our medical professionals conduct comprehensive physical exams to detect lumps or abnormalities that may raise suspicion of a tumour. They pay close attention to changes in skin colour, organ size, oral ulcers, and the presence of lumps in areas like the neck, breast, or other regions.
• Laboratory Tests: Urine and blood tests play a pivotal role in identifying abnormal indicators and markers linked to cancer.
• Imaging & Nuclear Medicine: At our Radiology Department, we utilise contemporary technology, including Computerised Tomography (CT) Scans, Bone Scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Scans, Ultrasounds, and X-rays. These imaging tests facilitate the diagnosis of cancer, staging, treatment response assessment, and the detection of disease recurrence.

The Importance of PET/CT Scans

PET/CT scans are particularly valuable for staging disease, assessing treatment response, identifying potential primary malignancies, guiding biopsy site selection, and supporting radiotherapy planning.

Biopsy: The Definitive Diagnostic Tool

In the majority of cases, a biopsy serves as the conclusive method for diagnosing cancer. This procedure involves the collection of cellular samples for rigorous laboratory analysis, offering a definitive answer regarding malignancy (cancerous growth) or the underlying cause of an infection.
