Every Breast Cancer Treatment, Under One Network
Surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone & targeted therapy — each plays a specific role. Your tumour board combines what your cancer needs into one coordinated plan, so you are never sent between unconnected hospitals.
Surgery
Breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) where the cancer allows, mastectomy where needed — planned by surgical oncologists after tumour-board review, with reconstruction options available.
Know More →Chemotherapy
Supervised day-care cycles — you go home the same day. Sessions are typically 2–3 weeks apart. Your oncologist and tumour board decide your exact course, matched to your stage and cancer type.
Know More →Radiation Therapy
Short outpatient sessions — typically a few minutes each — planned and overseen by CION's radiation oncologists. For eligible early-stage patients, shorter 3-week courses are available per NCCN guidelines.
Know More →Hormone & Targeted Therapy
Treatment matched to your receptor type — daily tablets that block the hormones the cancer feeds on, or medicines that lock onto HER2 receptors. Immunotherapy is used in selected advanced cases where the tumour board recommends it.
Know More →Why Patients Choose a Cancer-Only Network for Breast Cancer
A general multispecialty hospital treats every illness. CION treats only cancer — and that focus changes how your case is reviewed, planned, and priced.
Medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists review your reports together — one team, one plan — instead of one doctor deciding alone.
No unnecessary tests, no rushed decisions. Doctors at CION are rewarded for outcomes, not for volume.
You receive a free written cost estimate before treatment begins — every line item explained, no hidden charges.
150+ years combined experience across medical, surgical, radiation, and interventional oncology — all under one network.
Surgery, chemotherapy, and follow-up close to where you live — walk in, no referral needed.
CGHS, ECHS, EHS, Aarogyasri (AB-PMJAY), and private insurance — our admissions team handles pre-authorisation for you.

A Dedicated Cancer Network vs a General Hospital
An honest comparison to help you evaluate where to start your breast cancer care.
| What matters | CION — cancer-only network | Typical general hospital |
|---|---|---|
| Case review | Tumour board — medical, surgical & radiation oncologists review together | Often a single consultant decides the plan |
| Consultation time | Unhurried 45-minute first consultation | Frequently short, high-volume OPD slots |
| Pricing | Clear indicative pricing + free written estimate before treatment | Estimates often given after admission |
| Focus | Cancer only — every doctor is an oncology super-specialist | All illnesses; cancer is one of many departments |
| Access | 7 centres across Hyderabad; walk in, no referral needed | Usually one or two locations; referral often expected |
This comparison reflects how CION is set up as a dedicated cancer network. Individual hospitals vary — we encourage you to ask the same questions wherever you seek care.

One Team, One Plan — Three Specialists Review Your Case Together
You should not have to decide whether to see a surgeon, a chemotherapy doctor, or a radiation doctor first. At CION, all three review your case together — here is how your first visit works.
You meet a senior oncologist
Your free 45-minute consultation is with a senior breast cancer specialist. Bring any existing reports, scans, or biopsy results — they are reviewed with you and explained in plain words. No rushed decisions, no unnecessary repeat tests.
Your case goes to the tumour board
Medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists review your reports together, against NCCN-aligned protocols. The board agrees one plan that covers surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone or targeted therapy as your cancer needs — so no single doctor decides alone.
You get a written plan and a clear cost
You leave with a written treatment plan and a free written cost estimate — what is recommended, in what sequence, and what it will cost. If you want a second opinion on a plan from elsewhere, our full board reviews it free of charge.
Breast Cancer Stages & What They Mean for Your Treatment
Your tumour board plans your treatment based on your stage and your receptor type. This table shows indicative treatment sequencing — your actual plan is personalised at consultation.
| Stage | Typical Presentation | Common Treatment Sequence | Day-Care Possible? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 0 (DCIS) | Non-invasive; confined to the milk ducts | Surgery (lumpectomy or mastectomy) ± radiation; hormone therapy if HR+ | Surgery: short admission. Chemo: usually not required. |
| Stage I | Small tumour, no lymph node spread | Surgery first, then radiation ± hormone / targeted therapy per receptor type | Yes — chemotherapy cycles are day-care |
| Stage II | Tumour >2 cm or limited lymph node spread | Neoadjuvant chemo → surgery → radiation ± hormone / targeted therapy | Yes — chemotherapy cycles are day-care |
| Stage III | Larger tumour or significant lymph node spread | Neoadjuvant chemo → surgery → radiation → hormone / targeted / immunotherapy | Yes — chemotherapy cycles are day-care |
| Stage IV | Spread to distant organs | Systemic therapy (hormone, targeted, immunotherapy) ± local treatment; managed as chronic disease | Yes — most systemic therapy is day-care or oral |
These are indicative sequences only. Your actual treatment plan is determined by your tumour board after reviewing your full reports. Consult a qualified oncologist about your individual condition.

What makes CION a dedicated breast cancer hospital?
CION is a cancer-only network, not a general multispecialty hospital — every patient's case is reviewed by a tumour board of medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists together, against NCCN-aligned protocols. With 7 centres across Hyderabad and 35+ across Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, you can start care close to home, walk in without a referral, and get an unhurried 45-minute first consultation that is free for all cancer patients. See our breast cancer hospital page for more.
Which breast cancer treatment is right for me?
There is no single right treatment — the best plan depends on your stage and your cancer's receptor type (hormone-receptor positive, HER2-type, or triple-negative). At CION, a tumour board reviews your reports together and agrees one coordinated plan covering surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and hormone or targeted therapy as your cancer needs. You leave your free 45-minute consultation with a written treatment plan, not just a verbal recommendation. See our breast cancer treatment page.
Should I see a breast cancer surgeon or an oncologist first?
You do not have to choose. At CION your case is reviewed by all three specialists — medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists — so you do not risk seeing the wrong doctor first. Book a free consultation and the team decides together what your treatment should begin with. CION has 17 senior oncologists with 150+ years of combined experience. You can also meet our breast cancer surgeons or our specialists.
Can I request a female breast cancer doctor?
Yes. CION has experienced women breast cancer specialists, and you can ask to consult a female doctor when you book. Tell our team on the phone or in the form and we will arrange your appointment at a centre where a female specialist is available. See our female breast doctor page.
What does breast cancer treatment cost at CION?
Costs depend on your stage, the surgery type, the number of chemotherapy cycles, and the radiation technique — so any figure is indicative until your plan is agreed. CION publishes clear, indicative pricing and gives you a free written cost estimate before treatment begins, with every line item explained. Aarogyasri (AB-PMJAY), EHS, CGHS, ECHS, and private insurance are accepted, and EMI options are available for self-pay patients. See indicative ranges on our treatment cost page.
Do I need a referral to start treatment at CION?
No. You can walk in without a referral and same-day appointments are often available across our centres in Hyderabad. OPD runs Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM – 6:00 PM. Book using the form on this page, or call 1800 202 8726 and our team will schedule you at the centre nearest you.
Can I get a free second opinion on my breast cancer diagnosis?
Yes. Bring your biopsy report, scans, and current prescription list and our full tumour board — medical, surgical, and radiation oncologists together — reviews your case and gives you a free written second opinion. You are not committed to starting or switching treatment. See our second opinion page for how it works.
