What happens between the first surgical visit and going home?

  1. 1

    Consultation at a CION centre

    The surgeon examines you and reads your biopsy report, the lab result on a small tissue sample, with your scans. They explain whether an operation is possible, what it would remove, and what life looks like afterwards.

  2. 2

    The tumour board

    Your case is discussed with medical and radiation oncologists. They agree whether surgery goes first, or whether medicines or radiotherapy should come before it.

  3. 3

    Fitness checks

    Blood tests, a heart check and sometimes a lung test show whether you are fit for an anaesthetic. Diabetes or blood pressure may need steadying first.

  4. 4

    The hospital is named

    The care team tells you which hospital the operation will be done at, how to get there, and a written estimate, before you agree.

  5. 5

    The operation and the stay

    Your surgeon operates and sees you on the ward. How long you stay depends on the operation, and you are told roughly in advance.

  6. 6

    Results and follow-up

    The removed tissue is tested. Its report decides whether you need more treatment. Check-ups and stitch care can happen back at a CION centre.

More CION Specialists

Every case goes to CION’s network tumour board, where these specialists from CION’s centres join your doctor. Ask for any of them when you book.

What should you ask a cancer surgeon before saying yes?

Why surgery first, and not medicines first?

What a clear answer covers: The reason, and whether the tumour board agreed

Open operation or keyhole?

What a clear answer covers: Which suits your tumour, and why

Which hospital, and who operates?

What a clear answer covers: A named hospital and the surgeon by name

What will change in daily life afterwards?

What a clear answer covers: Eating, moving, work and any lasting changes

What is the written estimate?

What a clear answer covers: Surgery, stay and tests, given before you agree

If CION centres do not operate, where does your surgery take place?

At a hospital the care team books for you, which is named before you agree. The planning, the consultation and the follow-up can all happen at CION's Hyderabad centres in Ameerpet, Kukatpally, Kompally, Masab Tank, L.B. Nagar, Tolichowki and Banjara Hills.

1What you are told up front

The name of the hospital, which surgeon will operate, what the stay involves, and a written estimate. If anything about the place is hard for your family, such as travel or who can stay with the patient, say so then. It is easier to plan around before the date is fixed.

2Before and after the operation

Many people need medicines before or after surgery. Those are usually given as day-care chemotherapy at a CION centre, so you can often return to the one nearest home once you are discharged. Wound checks and the conversation about the tissue report can happen there too.

3Hours and paperwork

CION's Hyderabad centres are open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring your policy papers to the surgical consultation, because insurers often want approval before an operation is booked.

Which beliefs about cancer surgery cause harmful delay?

Myth

"A biopsy or an operation makes cancer spread."

What is true: This fear makes families wait while the cancer grows. A biopsy is how the type of cancer is found, and planned surgery by a cancer surgeon is one of the main ways it is removed.

Myth

"Any good general surgeon can remove a cancer."

What is true: Removing cancer means taking the right amount of tissue and the right glands, so it does not come back at the edge. A surgeon who operates on cancer regularly plans for this from the start.

Myth

"Once the tumour is out, treatment is over."

What is true: Often it is not. The tissue report may show that medicines or radiotherapy afterwards would lower the chance of the cancer returning. Follow-up check-ups matter for years.

Myth

"Keyhole surgery is always the better choice."

What is true: For some cancers it means a quicker recovery. For others an open operation is safer and more complete. Ask your surgeon which suits your tumour, and why.

Myth

"Older patients are too old for cancer surgery."

What is true: Age alone rarely decides it. Fitness does. A person in their seventies with a strong heart and lungs may cope well, while a younger person with serious illness may not. The fitness checks before surgery answer this for your own family member.

Cancer surgery through CION in Hyderabad: your questions

Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.

1Which CION surgeon should I book?

Tell the care team what your report says. They book one of the five surgical oncologists, Dr. Imaduddin Mohammed, Dr. Sandeep Vajja, Dr. Muralidhar Muddusetty, Dr. Vinay Mamidala or Dr. Sridhar Kamani, at a centre and on a day that suit you. You can also ask for a surgeon by name.

2Is surgery done at the CION centres in Hyderabad?

No. The centres are for consultations, day-care chemotherapy and follow-up. The operation is done at a hospital the care team books for you. You are told its name, how to reach it, and the written estimate before you agree.

3Will the CION surgeon I meet do the operation?

Ask this at the consultation, and expect a plain answer naming who will operate. If more than one surgeon is involved, for example in a long operation, the team explains who does what before the date is fixed.

4Can I get a second opinion before an operation?

Yes, and it is sensible before any major operation. Bring the scans, the biopsy report and the surgical plan you were given. A CION surgical oncologist will tell you whether they would do the same, and why, without any obligation.

5How soon after diagnosis should surgery happen?

It depends on the cancer. Some need prompt surgery. Others are safer with medicines first. A short wait to get the plan right rarely changes the outcome, while a rushed operation can limit later choices. Your surgeon explains the timing for your own case.

6Does insurance cover cancer surgery?

CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring the policy papers to the surgical consultation, as the insurer usually needs approval before the operation. Mention any government or employer scheme so it can be checked.

7Where are check-ups done after the operation?

Usually at a CION centre in Hyderabad, often the one nearest home. The surgeon reviews the wound and the tissue report, and if medicines are needed afterwards, they can often be given as day-care at the same centre.

8Can a family member bring the reports first?

Yes. Many families start this way when the patient is unwell or far from the city. The surgeon can explain what the reports suggest, but must examine the patient before deciding whether an operation is possible.
