Which cancers often bring people to a surgical oncologist?
These are examples, not a full list. Bring any report that worries you.
Mouth, tongue and throat
A sore or patch that has not healed. Operations here are planned carefully around speech, chewing and swallowing, so it is worth asking how each will be affected.
Stomach and bowel
Found after bleeding, weight loss or a scope test. Some are removed straight away. Others are shrunk with medicines first, and the surgeon plans the operation for when they have done their work.
Thyroid, skin and soft tissue
A neck swelling, a changing mole, or a lump deep in the muscle. Many of these are treated mainly by surgery, sometimes with other treatment afterwards.
What should you be told before you agree to an operation?
The aim
What you should hear clearly: Whether the operation aims to remove the cancer or to ease a symptom
What will be removed
What you should hear clearly: The organ or part, and whether glands are taken too
Possible problems
What you should hear clearly: Bleeding, infection, and anything specific to your operation
The place and the cost
What you should hear clearly: The named hospital, how far it is, and a written estimate
Other options
What you should hear clearly: What would happen with a different treatment, or none

What happens from the day of surgery to the first follow-up?
- 1
The day of the operation
You are asked not to eat beforehand. The anaesthetist sees you, and the surgeon checks once more that you understand what is planned.
- 2
The first days after
Nurses help you sit up, walk and start eating as soon as it is safe. Moving early lowers the chance of chest infections and clots.
- 3
Going home
You leave with wound instructions, medicines and a number to call. You are told which problems mean going straight to an emergency department.
- 4
Back at Masab Tank
The surgeon checks the wound and goes through the tissue report with you. This report decides whether more treatment is needed.
- 5
The next step, if there is one
If chemotherapy is advised, it can be given at CION Masab Tank. If not, follow-up visits continue, spaced further apart over time.
How does CION Masab Tank fit around your operation?
It is where your surgical care starts and continues. The meeting with the surgeon, the planning, chemotherapy and follow-up happen here. The operation happens at the hospital your care team names.
1Chemotherapy in a day-care chair
If your plan includes chemotherapy before or after surgery, it is given at CION Masab Tank. You sit in a day-care chair while nurses watch over you, then go home the same day. The doctor who planned it works from the same records as your surgeon.
2Finding the centre
CION Cancer Clinics, 10-1-1, Utkoor - Mogdumpur Road, AC Guards, Lakdikapul, Hyderabad 500028. It is close to Lakdikapul Metro and near the Masab Tank bus stop, and is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
3Who finds this centre convenient
Families from Lakdikapul, Khairatabad, Basheer Bagh, Nampally, Himayat Nagar and Mehdipatnam often find Masab Tank the nearest CION centre. If Tolichowki, Banjara Hills or another CION centre suits you better, the same helpline books it.
Good to know
This page cannot tell you whether surgery is right for you. A surgeon who has read your reports can.
Which surgery myths should you set aside?
Myth
"An operation will open the cancer up and spread it."
What is true: A planned operation by a cancer surgeon does not spread the disease. Delay is what lets it grow. Families who wait because of this fear often lose the time when surgery would have helped most.
Myth
"If the whole organ is removed, the cancer cannot return."
What is true: Removing more tissue does not always lower the risk. Sometimes a smaller operation with other treatment works just as well, and leaves you with fewer changes to live with.
Myth
"A surgeon only wants to operate."
What is true: A good cancer surgeon advises against surgery when it will not help, and says so openly. Ask directly, "What would you do if we did not operate?"
Myth
"It is better to keep the diagnosis from an elderly parent."
What is true: Most people sense something is wrong. Being told kindly, with the family in the room, usually helps them face the operation and recovery.

Common questions about cancer surgery at CION Masab Tank
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1Which surgical oncologist can I see at Masab Tank?
Dr. Imaduddin Mohammed, Head of Surgical Oncology at CION, sees patients at CION Masab Tank. Dr. Muralidhar Muddusetty is also on the CION surgical team, and the care team tells you where and when he sees patients. Call the helpline to book a time that suits you.
2Is the operation done at CION Masab Tank?
No. Masab Tank is for the consultation, planning, chemotherapy and follow-up. Your care team names the hospital where the operation takes place and tells you how far it is from your home. You hear this, with a written estimate, before you agree.
3What if my biopsy was done at another hospital?
Bring the report and, if you have them, the slides or tissue block. The surgeon may ask for the sample to be looked at again, or for extra tests on it. This is routine, and it often saves you from having a second biopsy.
4Will I need chemotherapy as well as surgery?
Many people do, but not everyone. It depends on the type and stage of the cancer, and on what the tissue report shows after the operation. If chemotherapy is advised, it can be given at CION Masab Tank in a day-care chair.
5Can the surgeon review a plan from another hospital?
Yes. Bring the plan and every report behind it. The surgeon will say whether they agree with the operation and its timing, and explain why if not. Many families find this helps them go ahead with confidence, wherever the operation is finally done.
6How do I know what surgery will cost?
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, so your cover can be checked before an operation date is set.
7What are the timings at Masab Tank?
The centre is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM. It is at AC Guards, Lakdikapul, close to Lakdikapul Metro and the Masab Tank bus stop. Call before you come to make sure the surgeon is in on that day.
8What if something goes wrong after I get home?
Call the number you were given for a fever, a wound that is red or leaking, or pain that keeps getting worse. For heavy bleeding, sudden breathlessness or collapse, go to the nearest emergency department first, and let your care team know as soon as you can.
