What should a good medical oncologist do for you?
These are fair things to expect from any cancer doctor, at CION or anywhere else.
Read everything
Go through every report you bring, including old ones from other hospitals, before deciding what else is needed.
Plan with others
Take your case to a tumour board so surgeons and radiation doctors agree the order of treatment.
Be honest about limits
Say plainly when a treatment is unlikely to help you, and what the other choices are, including not treating.
Plan for side effects
Give you medicines and written advice for the common problems before they start, not after.
Put the cost in writing
Share a written estimate before the first dose, so the family can plan without surprises.
What happens in the day-care chair at Masab Tank?
- 1
Check-in and blood test
Blood is drawn first. The count decides whether today's dose goes ahead, so arrive at the time the team gives you.
- 2
Review
The doctor or nurse asks how you managed since the last round. Mention every new problem. Doses are tuned on what you report.
- 3
The drip
You sit in a reclining chair. Nurses start the line, give medicines to prevent sickness, then the treatment itself, and check on you throughout.
- 4
Going home
You leave with tablets, written advice and a number to call. A family member should travel with you, especially after the first round.
- 5
Before the next round
Blood is checked again a few days ahead or on the morning itself. If the counts need longer to recover, the dose waits. That is a safety step, not a failure.

What is your treatment trying to achieve?
To remove all the cancer
It usually means: Medicines work with surgery or radiotherapy, and more side effects may be worth accepting
To shrink it before an operation
It usually means: A set number of rounds, then a scan, then surgery
To lower the risk of return
It usually means: Treatment after surgery, even though no cancer can be seen
To control it for as long as possible
It usually means: Longer treatment, adjusted to keep daily life as normal as it can be
To ease symptoms
It usually means: Comfort comes first, and the plan is kept gentle
How do you get to CION Masab Tank, and what is done there?
Consultations with Dr. Owais Mohammed and chemotherapy both happen at CION Masab Tank. Operations and radiotherapy are not given here. If you need either, the care team tells you which centre gives it before you agree.
1The address
CION Cancer Clinics, 10-1-1, Utkoor - Mogdumpur Road, AC Guards, Lakdikapul, Hyderabad 500028. Lakdikapul Metro is about five minutes away, and the Masab Tank bus stop is nearby.
2Opening hours
Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Check your appointment the day before, because doctors' days can change.
3Who finds it convenient
Families from Lakdikapul, Khairatabad, Basheer Bagh, Nampally, Himayat Nagar and Mehdipatnam often come here. Many patients from districts arriving by train or bus also find central Hyderabad easier to reach, and the same helpline can book any other CION centre if one suits you better.
Good to know
CION Masab Tank is not an emergency department. For fever, bleeding or sudden breathlessness during treatment, go to the nearest emergency department first.
What do families get wrong about cancer medicines?
Myth
"Chemotherapy burns the body from inside."
What is true: The drugs affect fast-growing cells, which is why hair, the mouth lining and blood counts are touched. Most of these effects are temporary and recover once treatment ends.
Myth
"If you stop eating sugar, the cancer starves."
What is true: Cutting out sugar does not starve a cancer. It can make it harder to keep weight up during treatment. Eat a balanced diet and ask the team if eating is a struggle.
Myth
"Immunotherapy is just a stronger chemotherapy."
What is true: It works differently, by helping your own immune system. It suits some cancers and not others, and its side effects need a different kind of watching.
Myth
"The doctor will be offended if we ask questions."
What is true: Questions help the doctor understand what you know and what worries you. Write them down and bring them. A good oncologist welcomes them.
What do these words on your report mean?
Staging
Working out how large the cancer is and whether it has spread. Most treatment choices rest on it.
Metastatic
Cancer that has spread from where it started to another part of the body.
Receptor status
Whether the cancer cells carry certain markers, such as hormone receptors. It guides the choice of medicine.
Remission
The cancer has shrunk or cannot be seen on tests. It does not always mean treatment is over.
Lymph node
A small bean-shaped gland that filters fluid. Cancer found in nearby nodes often changes the plan.
Grade
How unusual the cancer cells look under the microscope. It is not the same as stage.

Questions about a chemotherapy doctor in Masab Tank
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1Who sees patients for medical oncology at CION Masab Tank?
Dr. Owais Mohammed, a medical oncologist trained in general medicine and medical oncology, sees patients at CION Masab Tank. He plans chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy, and works with CION's surgical and radiation oncologists through a tumour board.
2Do I stay overnight for chemotherapy at Masab Tank?
Usually not. Chemotherapy is given in a day-care chair while nurses watch over you, and you go home the same day. If a particular treatment needs a hospital stay, your oncologist tells you in advance and explains where.
3Which Metro station is closest?
Lakdikapul Metro, about five minutes from the centre in AC Guards. The Masab Tank bus stop is also close. Plan for someone to travel home with you on a treatment day, as tiredness is common afterwards.
4Can Dr. Owais Mohammed review a plan from another hospital?
Yes. Bring the written plan, the doses already given and every report behind it. He will tell you whether he agrees, and if not, what he would change and why. A review does not oblige you to continue treatment at CION.
5Does the centre 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, and mention any employer scheme when you call.
6What should I bring on the first day?
Every report: biopsy, scans with CDs, blood tests and discharge summaries. A list of current medicines, including any herbal products. And the family member who will help make decisions, so that nothing has to be repeated later.
7We are coming from a district. Can visits be grouped?
Tell the care team where you are travelling from when you call. They will try to group the consultation and any tests on the same day, so that you make as few trips as possible.
8What if a side effect worries us at home?
Call the number you were given. Tiredness or a poor appetite can usually wait for the next visit. Fever, bleeding, severe loose motions or breathlessness cannot. Go to the nearest emergency department first, then tell your oncologist.
