What the biopsy says
The type of cancer changes the operation. Some types are removed with a wide rim of tissue, others with less, and some are better treated without surgery at all.

What does a cancer surgeon weigh up before advising an operation?
Four things, and the answer can change if any one of them changes.
What the scans show
How large the tumour is, what it touches, and whether glands or other organs are involved. An operation helps most when the cancer is still in one area.
How fit you are
Heart, lungs, sugar and nutrition all matter. Sometimes a few changes before surgery make the operation and recovery much safer.
What matters to you
Your work, your family, how you eat and speak, and how you feel about changes to your body. A good surgeon asks, and plans around the answers.
Does surgery come first or later?
The tumour is small and in one place
Medicines or radiotherapy first is usual when: The tumour is large or close to vital structures
Nearby glands look clear or only slightly involved
Medicines or radiotherapy first is usual when: Many glands are involved
You are fit for an anaesthetic now
Medicines or radiotherapy first is usual when: The body needs time to get stronger
The tumour board agrees removal is the best start
Medicines or radiotherapy first is usual when: Shrinking it first could make the operation smaller

How can your family get ready for the operation?
- 1
Know the place
Your care team names the hospital and tells you how far it is. Plan who will travel with the patient and who will stay nearby.
- 2
Sort the paperwork
Keep the written estimate, insurance papers and every report in one folder. CION's team helps with cashless insurance.
- 3
Prepare the body
Eat well, walk daily if you can, and stop smoking. Ask the surgeon which of your usual medicines to pause, and when.
- 4
Plan the return home
Arrange help for the first days at home, soft foods if needed, and a follow-up visit at CION L.B. Nagar.
What can you get done at CION L.B. Nagar?
The surgical consultation, the plan, chemotherapy and follow-up can all happen at CION L.B. Nagar. Only the operation is done at another hospital, which your care team names.
1Chemotherapy before or after surgery
Chemotherapy is given at this centre, usually as day-care, so you go home the same day. If your plan includes medicines to shrink the tumour first, or to lower the chance of the cancer coming back afterwards, there is no need to travel elsewhere for them.
2Finding the centre
CION Cancer Clinics, Ground floor, Anu Arcade, H.No. 3-4-148, near L.B. Nagar Metro Station, RTC Colony, L.B. Nagar, Hyderabad 500074. The centre sits beside the Metro station and close to the L.B. Nagar bus stop. It is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
3Families from the east of Hyderabad
People from Dilsukhnagar, Saroornagar, Vanasthalipuram, Hayathnagar, Nagole and Uppal often find L.B. Nagar the easiest CION centre to reach. If another CION centre suits you better, the same helpline books it.
Good to know
This page cannot tell you whether you need an operation. Your reports and a surgeon's examination can.
What do the terms in a surgical plan mean?
Biopsy
A small sample of tissue taken to check for cancer. It tells the surgeon what type of cancer it is.
Excision
Cutting out the tumour. A wide excision takes a rim of healthy tissue around it as well.
Margin
The edge of the tissue removed. A clear margin means no cancer cells were found at that edge.
Lymph node
A small gland near the tumour. Removing a few lets the laboratory check whether the cancer has travelled.
Neoadjuvant
Treatment given before the operation, usually to make the tumour smaller.
Which surgery fears hold families back?
Myth
"If we operate, the cancer will come back stronger."
What is true: A planned cancer operation does not make the disease more aggressive. When cancer returns, it is because some cells were already elsewhere, which is why the tissue report and follow-up matter.
Myth
"Medicines first means the surgeon has given up."
What is true: Treatment before an operation is a common, planned approach. It can shrink a tumour so the operation is smaller and more complete. Ask when the surgeon will look at it again.
Myth
"Diabetes means an operation is impossible."
What is true: Many people with diabetes have cancer surgery safely. The sugar needs to be well controlled first, and the team will help with that before a date is set.
Myth
"It is better to wait and see if the lump goes away."
What is true: A lump that is growing, hard or fixed should be seen by a specialist now. Most turn out to be harmless, but waiting only helps the ones that are not.

Medically reviewed by Dr. Vinay Mamidala, Consultant Surgical Oncologist (MBBS, MS (General Surgery), M.Ch (Surgical Oncology), FMAS, FARIS (Ongoing)). Last reviewed October 2026. This page is general information for families from LB Nagar, not medical advice: your specialist advises on tests and treatment after seeing you.
What do LB Nagar families ask before cancer surgery?
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1Which surgeons see patients at CION L.B. Nagar?
Dr. Vinay Mamidala and Dr. Muralidhar Muddusetty, both surgical oncologists, see patients at CION L.B. Nagar. They plan with CION's medical and radiation oncologists, and cases are reviewed at the tumour board. Call the helpline to check which surgeon is in on your chosen day.
2Is cancer surgery done at the L.B. Nagar centre?
No. The centre is for consultations, planning, chemotherapy and follow-up. Your care team names the hospital where the operation takes place, and tells you how far it is from you, before your family agrees to anything.
3I live in Vanasthalipuram. Is L.B. Nagar the nearest centre?
For many families in Vanasthalipuram, Hayathnagar and Nagole, it is the easiest CION centre to reach, and it sits right beside the Metro station. If another CION centre suits your travel better, tell the care team when you call and they will book it.
4How long will I wait for an operation?
It depends on what still needs checking. A biopsy, scans or fitness tests may come first, and some cancers are better treated with medicines before surgery. Your surgeon explains each step and why, so you know what you are waiting for and roughly how long.
5Can I have my chemotherapy at L.B. Nagar too?
Yes. Chemotherapy is given at CION L.B. Nagar, usually as day-care. A medical oncologist plans it, before or after the operation, and works from the same records as your surgeon. You do not have to repeat your story to each new doctor.
6How is the cost of the operation explained?
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. That gives the team time to check your cover before an operation date is set.
7What are the timings at CION L.B. Nagar?
Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. The centre is on the ground floor of Anu Arcade in RTC Colony, beside L.B. Nagar Metro Station and close to the bus stop. Call before you come so the surgeon you want to see is in.
8Can I ask for a second opinion before agreeing to surgery?
Yes, and it is a sensible step before a large operation. Bring the advice and every report behind it. A CION surgeon will tell you whether they agree, and why if they do not. It does not commit you to having the operation through CION.
