Dedicated Surgical Oncology Department
Advanced, Organ-Preserving & Minimally Invasive Cancer Surgeries Under One Roof
At ARC Cancer Hospital (Lakkasandra, Bengaluru), surgical oncology is not just a sub-department — it is our core specialty. Unlike general hospitals where oncology competes for operating rooms, ARC is a 100% dedicated cancer hospital. Our surgical oncologists are fellowship-trained super-specialists who dedicate their entire practice exclusively to complex cancer resections, organ-preserving techniques, and minimal-access procedures.
✓ Cashless Insurance Empanelled | ✓ Senior Oncologist Consultation Within 24 Hours | ✓ Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Review
Our surgical team does not perform routine general surgeries. Every procedure is performed by MCh super-specialists with 15+ years of exclusive cancer care experience.
Every complex cancer case is evaluated jointly by surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists before surgery to ensure clear oncologic margins and the safest treatment pathway.
Precision keyhole surgeries mean smaller incisions, sub-millimeter tumor accuracy, significantly reduced blood loss, less pain, and a faster return home.
ARC is one of the select centers in Bengaluru equipped with a dedicated Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) unit for advanced peritoneal surface cancers.
Whole-body FDG PET-CT scans, genomic profiling, a 16-bed daycare chemotherapy unit, precision radiation (IMRT/IGRT), and rehabilitation all under one roof in Lakkasandra.

Patient Benefits: Minimal blood loss, reduced post-operative pain, lower infection risk, shorter hospital stays (often 2–3 days), and faster initiation of follow-up chemotherapy or radiation.
For cancers that have spread to the lining of the abdominal cavity (peritoneum), standard IV chemotherapy often cannot reach the tumors effectively. ARC Cancer Hospital is one of the few centers in Bengaluru equipped with a dedicated HIPEC facility. Following complete surgical removal of visible abdominal tumors (Cytoreduction), a heated (42°C) sterile chemotherapy solution is circulated directly inside the abdomen to kill microscopic cancer cells.
Surgery is frequently the first milestone in a patient's treatment. At ARC Cancer Hospital, you never have to travel across Bengaluru traffic for your next step in care:
Whole-body FDG PET-CT, PSMA PET-CT, MRI, CT, and in-house Onco-Pathology / Molecular Genomics.
Dedicated 16-bed daycare chemotherapy suite, Targeted Therapy, and Immunotherapy infusions.
High-precision IMRT, IGRT, 3D-CRT, and Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT).
Psycho-Oncology counseling, Onco-Nutrition & Dietetics, Interventional Pain Management, and Onco-Physiotherapy/ Rehabilitation.
ARC Cancer Hospital works with major private insurance providers, corporate TPA networks, and government schemes. Our dedicated insurance desk handles hassle-free pre-authorization, cashless hospitalization, and reimbursement documentation for cancer surgeries.
Ans: Unlike large multi-specialty hospitals where surgical oncology is just one among dozens of departments, ARC Cancer Hospital is a 100% dedicated oncology center. This means cancer patients do not share waiting areas or operating rooms with general infection cases. Additionally, ARC eliminates corporate administrative delays allowing patients to get staging scans, Multidisciplinary Tumor Board reviews, and surgical consultations without multi-day wait times.
Ans: A surgical oncologist undergoes additional years of advanced super-specialty training holding degrees such as MCh or DrNB in Surgical Oncology focusing strictly on cancer biology, safe tumor margins, complex lymph node dissections, and organ-preserving strategies. At ARC, our surgeries are performed exclusively by MCh-qualified surgical oncologists (such as Dr. Samskruthi P. Murthy and Dr. Dinesh M.G.) rather than general surgeons, drastically reducing the risk of local cancer recurrence.
Ans: Yes. ARC Cancer Hospital is an insurance-empanelled facility. Our dedicated TPA desk assists patients with pre-authorization, cashless hospitalization, and reimbursement claims across major private insurance providers and corporate health networks in India.
Ans: HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) is an advanced procedure for complex abdominal and peritoneal surface cancers (e.g., advanced ovarian, colorectal, stomach, and appendiceal malignancies). Following Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) to remove visible tumors, a heated chemotherapy solution (42°C) is circulated directly inside the abdominal cavity to kill microscopic cancer cells. ARC is one of the few specialized cancer centers in South Bengaluru equipped with a dedicated HIPEC facility.
Ans: Yes. Led by senior specialists like Dr. Dinesh M.G., ARC performs minimal-access laparoscopic and robotic-assisted cancer resections across gastrointestinal, gynecological, thoracic, and urological malignancies. Benefits include smaller incisions, sub-millimeter tumor removal precision, significantly reduced blood loss, less pain, and shorter hospital stays.
Ans: Cancer treatment requires immediate intervention. ARC provides priority consultations with senior MCh surgical oncologists within 24 to 48 hours. Patients seeking a second opinion can bring their existing biopsy reports and scans for a rapid evaluation by our Multidisciplinary Tumor Board.
Ans: Led by Dr. Samskruthi P. Murthy (MCh Head & Neck Oncology), ARC specializes in complex oral cavity/tongue cancer resections, composite resections (Commando surgery), neck node dissections, total and partial laryngectomies, thyroidectomies, parotid gland surgeries, and microvascular free-flap tissue reconstructions.
