What does the surgical journey look like when you start in Kompally?
- 1
Meeting the surgeon
The surgeon reads your reports, examines you and explains in plain words whether an operation is likely to help. Bring the family member who will help decide.
- 2
Completing the picture
A biopsy, a scan or fitness checks may be needed. Each one is explained, and your care team tells you where it is done.
- 3
The tumour board
Surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists discuss your case together and agree the order of treatment.
- 4
The operation
It happens at the hospital your care team named, after you have heard how far it is and received a written estimate.
- 5
Back to Kompally
Wound checks, the tissue report, any chemotherapy that follows, and regular follow-up visits can all happen at CION Kompally.
Who is surgery usually not the first treatment for?
A good surgeon tells you this as readily as they offer an operation.
People with blood cancers
Leukaemia, lymphoma and myeloma are treated with medicines. A surgeon may remove a gland to confirm the diagnosis, and a blood cancer specialist leads from there.
Tumours that need shrinking
Some cancers are removed more safely once chemotherapy or radiotherapy has made them smaller. Treatment before an operation is called neoadjuvant treatment.
Cancer in several organs
When the disease has spread widely, medicines that reach the whole body usually come first. An operation may still help later with one specific problem.
People not yet fit for an anaesthetic
A recent heart attack, sugar that is out of control or a lot of weight lost can make an operation riskier than it needs to be. The team may build strength first, or suggest a treatment that does not need surgery.
What happens at CION Kompally around your operation?
Everything except the operation itself. You meet the surgeon here, the plan is made here, and you come back here for follow-up.
1Chemotherapy at the same centre
Chemotherapy is given at CION Kompally, usually as day-care, so you sleep at home that night. If your plan includes medicines before the operation to shrink the tumour, or after it to lower the chance of the cancer returning, you can have them at the centre where you met your surgeon.
2Finding us
CION Cancer Clinics, H.No. 2-181/2/C, Suchitra Circle, NH-44, Kompally, Hyderabad 500067. The Suchitra Circle bus stop is close by. The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
3Families from the north of the city
People from Alwal, Quthbullapur, Dundigal, Medchal and the northern side of Secunderabad often find Kompally easier to reach than a centre in the middle of Hyderabad. If another CION centre suits you better, the same helpline books it.
Good to know
This page cannot say whether you need surgery. A surgeon who has seen your reports can.
What do families in Kompally often hear about cancer surgery?
Myth
"Surgery will make the cancer spread faster."
What is true: A planned operation by a cancer surgeon does not make the disease spread. Delay is what gives a cancer time to grow. This belief costs people the window when an operation could have helped most.
Myth
"The doctor who found the lump should do the operation."
What is true: That doctor did the important work of finding it. A cancer operation is different from removing an ordinary lump, so it is reasonable to thank them, take the reports, and see a cancer surgeon.
Myth
"After surgery, there is no need for follow-up."
What is true: The tissue report may show a reason for more treatment. Even when it does not, regular visits are how a return of the cancer is caught early, while it is easier to treat.
Myth
"If the surgeon suggests medicines first, it means surgery is not possible."
What is true: Often it means the opposite. Shrinking a tumour first can make a later operation smaller and more complete. Ask what the plan is after the medicines.

Medically reviewed by Dr. Sandeep Vajja, Consultant Surgical Oncologist (MBBS, MS (General Surgery), DrNB (Surgical Oncology), FALS Oncology). Last reviewed October 2026. This page is general information for families from Kompally, not medical advice: your specialist advises on tests and treatment after seeing you.
What do people ask about cancer surgery at CION Kompally?
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1Does a surgical oncologist see patients at Kompally?
Yes. Dr. Sandeep Vajja, a surgical oncologist, sees patients at CION Kompally. Dr. Muralidhar Muddusetty is part of the same CION surgical team, and the care team tells you where and when he sees patients. Call ahead to check who is in on the day you want.
2Where will my operation actually take place?
Not at CION Kompally. Your care team names the hospital where the operation happens and tells you how far it is from you. You hear this, along with a written estimate, before your family agrees to the operation. Planning and follow-up stay at Kompally.
3Can the surgeon see me before I have a biopsy?
Yes. Many people first come with only a scan or a lump they have felt. The surgeon examines you, decides whether a biopsy is needed and which type, and explains where it is done. Bring any report you already have, even if it seems minor.
4Is keyhole surgery an option for me?
It depends on the cancer, its size and where it sits. Some operations can be done through small cuts with a camera, and others are safer as an open operation. The surgeon tells you which suits your case and why after reading your scans.
5Can I have chemotherapy in Kompally after the operation?
Yes. Chemotherapy is given at CION Kompally, usually as day-care. A medical oncologist plans it once the tissue report from your operation is ready. The surgeon and the medical oncologist work from the same records, so you are not starting again with each doctor.
6How do I find out what the operation will cost?
CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring your policy papers and insurance card to the first visit, so your cover can be checked well before an operation date is set.
7When is CION Kompally open?
Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. The centre is at Suchitra Circle on NH-44, near the Suchitra Circle bus stop. Calling before you come means you can be sure the surgeon you want to see is in that day.
8Can my son or daughter meet the surgeon on my behalf?
Yes, for a first talk about the reports. Many families start this way when the patient is unwell or far away. The surgeon still has to examine the patient before any operation is planned, but a great deal can be explained to the family first.
