A new diagnosis
The biopsy has just confirmed cancer. The first visit is mostly about understanding the report and deciding which tests are still needed.

How do you get from a biopsy report to the first dose?
- 1
You call, or leave your number
The care team asks what the report says, which hospital did the biopsy, and whether the patient can travel. They then fix a time with Dr. Naresh Gundu or Dr. N. Kiranmayee.
- 2
The first consultation
The oncologist reads the reports, examines the patient and explains what is known so far. Expect questions about other illnesses and current medicines, because they affect which drugs are safe.
- 3
Missing pieces
Many people need a staging scan, more blood tests or a test on the tumour tissue. Each one is explained before it is ordered, along with where it is done.
- 4
Tumour board
Medical, surgical and radiation oncologists look at the case together and agree the order of treatment. You are told what they recommend and what the alternatives are.
- 5
Your first treatment day
You receive a written schedule and a written cost estimate. On the day, blood counts are checked, medicines to prevent sickness are given, and the treatment runs in a day-care chair.
Why do people come to a medical oncologist at Kompally?
Not everyone arrives with a new diagnosis. Each starting point needs a slightly different first visit.
A plan from elsewhere
Another hospital has suggested chemotherapy and you want it checked. Bring the plan itself, not just the reports, so it can be compared line by line.
Treatment closer to home
Treatment started somewhere far away and the travel is wearing the patient down. The oncologist checks whether the plan can continue here safely.
The cancer has come back
A scan after treatment shows new growth. The oncologist looks at what worked before and what has changed, and sets out the choices honestly.
Follow-up after treatment
The main course is over and you need regular check-ups. The oncologist decides which tests are useful and how often, and tells you which new symptoms should bring you back sooner.
Tablets that need watching
Some people take targeted or hormone tablets at home for a long time. They still need blood tests and reviews, and a centre close to home makes those visits easier to keep.

Start with a Consultation
Ask for the doctor you want, or we’ll match you.
What should you bring to the first appointment?
- The biopsy report and any tumour tissue test results
- Every scan report, with films or CDs where you have them
- Recent blood test results, even routine ones
- Discharge summaries from any hospital stay
- A list of the medicines the patient takes now, including herbal ones
- Your insurance card and policy papers, if you have them
What should you tell the oncologist even if they do not ask?
Diabetes, heart or kidney problems
Because: Some drugs and doses are chosen around them
Any chance of pregnancy
Because: Several cancer medicines can harm an unborn baby
Plans to have children later
Because: Fertility can sometimes be protected, but only before treatment starts
How far you travel and who helps
Because: It helps the team plan visit times that are realistic
What matters most to the patient
Because: Treatment choices should fit the person, not only the scan
What should you know about CION Kompally before you go?
Consultations with both medical oncologists and chemotherapy happen at CION Kompally. Operations and radiotherapy do not. When your plan needs either, your care team names the hospital and gives you the estimate before you agree.
1Address and opening hours
CION Cancer Clinics, H.No. 2-181/2/C, Suchitra Circle, NH-44, Kompally, Hyderabad 500067. The Suchitra Circle bus stop is about two minutes' walk away. The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
2Families it serves
Patients come from Alwal, Dundigal, Medchal, Quthbullapur and the northern side of Secunderabad, as well as Suchitra Circle itself. For someone having chemotherapy every few weeks, a shorter road home after a tiring day makes a real difference.
3On a treatment day
Come at the time the team gives you, because blood is drawn first and the result decides whether the dose goes ahead. Bring water, a light snack, and one family member who can stay with you.
Good to know
CION Kompally is not an emergency department. For fever, bleeding or sudden breathlessness during treatment, go to the nearest emergency department first.
What do people in Kompally often hear about chemotherapy?
Myth
"Once chemotherapy starts, it spreads the cancer."
What is true: Chemotherapy does not make cancer spread. If spread is found after treatment starts, it was usually already present and too small to see on earlier scans.
Myth
"You cannot eat normal food during treatment."
What is true: Most people can eat home food. Freshly cooked meals and clean water matter more than any special diet. If eating becomes hard, tell the team early.
Myth
"More drugs means stronger treatment."
What is true: The right number of drugs depends on the cancer and on the person. Adding drugs adds side effects without always adding benefit.
Myth
"If you feel well, you can skip a round."
What is true: Feeling well is a good sign, not a reason to stop. Talk to your oncologist before changing anything, because gaps can let the cancer recover.

Questions families ask about medical oncology in Kompally
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1Which medical oncologists see patients at CION Kompally?
Dr. Naresh Gundu and Dr. N. Kiranmayee see patients at CION Kompally. Both are trained in internal medicine and medical oncology. They work with CION's surgical and radiation oncologists, and plans go through a tumour board. Call ahead to check which doctor is in on your preferred day.
2Is chemotherapy given at Kompally itself?
Yes. Chemotherapy is given at CION Kompally, usually as day-care, so most patients go home the same day. If a particular treatment needs an overnight stay, your oncologist explains why and where before the first dose.
3Where exactly is the centre?
The address is H.No. 2-181/2/C, Suchitra Circle, NH-44, Kompally, Hyderabad 500067. It is about two minutes' walk from the Suchitra Circle bus stop. The care team can share directions on the phone when you book.
4Can I move my treatment here from another hospital?
Often, yes. Bring the full plan, the names and doses of drugs already given and every report. The oncologist checks that the plan is right for you and that it can be given safely here, then explains any change before going ahead.
5Is there a separate doctor for targeted therapy or immunotherapy?
No. The medical oncologist plans all cancer medicines, including targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Whether these suit you depends on tests on the tumour. Your oncologist explains which tests are needed and whether the results open up these choices.
6Does CION Kompally help with insurance?
CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring your insurance card and policy papers to the first visit. If an employer or government scheme covers you, mention it when you call so it can be checked.
7What are the opening hours?
The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Treatment days often start early, so the team will tell you when to arrive for your blood test. Doctors' days can vary, so confirm your appointment the day before.
8What if the patient is too unwell to travel?
A family member can bring the reports for a first discussion. The oncologist can explain the findings and the likely next steps. The patient will need to be seen before treatment starts, and the team will help plan that visit.
