Cancer Treatment in India for International Patients

Plan your cancer care in India with a trusted medical facilitation partner.

VRH Healthcare helps you compare leading cancer centres and oncologists in Delhi-NCR & Gurugram, understand indicative costs, and coordinate everything—from second opinions to survivorship follow-ups.

How VRH Healthcare Helps

VRH Healthcare is not a hospital. We are a medical facilitation and patient-navigation service that connects you with suitable NABH/JCI-accredited cancer centres and experienced medical, surgical and radiation oncologists in India. We coordinate second opinions, appointments, medical visa letters, airport transfers, near-hospital stays, interpreters, indicative estimates, and tele-follow-ups so you can decide confidently.

Why Choose India for Oncology

International patients choose India for advanced technology, high-volume multidisciplinary teams, shorter waiting times, and value:

Accredited Centres

NABH/JCI oncology units with tumour boards and dedicated ICUs.

Modern Radiation

Linear accelerators with IMRT/VMAT, IGRT, SRS/SBRT, and image-guided brachytherapy (centre-specific).

Systemic Therapy

Day-care chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy protocols.

Fast-Track Access

Rapid scheduling for consults, imaging (PET-CT/CT/MRI) and treatment starts.

Affordability

Significant savings versus many Western markets, with indicative packages and clear communication.

Conditions We Support

Breast Cancer

From screening and biopsy to breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy with sentinel node assessment, followed by tailored chemotherapy/targeted therapy/hormonal therapy and radiation where indicated.

Gynaecologic Cancers

Staging via imaging and biopsy; treatments include radical surgery (open/minimally invasive/robotic at select centres), chemotherapy, and image-guided brachytherapy for cervix cancer.

Urologic Cancers

Options include robotic prostatectomy, partial/radical nephrectomy, and chemoradiation for bladder; systemic therapy (targeted/immunotherapy) based on molecular profiling.

GI & HPB Cancers

Colectomy/gastrectomy, Whipple for pancreatic cancer, and liver resections at specialised centres; adjunct chemotherapy/chemoradiation per stage.

Head & Neck Cancers

Organ-preservation protocols with transoral/neck surgery and advanced radiation (IMRT/IGRT), plus speech and swallowing rehab.

Lung & Thoracic Cancers

VATS/open resections where feasible; platinum-based chemo, targeted therapy for actionable mutations, and immunotherapy where indicated; SBRT for selected early cases.

Haematologic Malignancies

Protocol-driven chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and bone marrow transplant (HSCT) at select centres.

How much does cancer treatment cost in India?
Costs depend on diagnosis/stage, surgery complexity, radiation technique, drug regimen, and hospital. We list indicative ranges on procedure pages and provide a personalised estimate after oncologist review.
Is immunotherapy or targeted therapy available?
Yes—where clinically appropriate. Suitability depends on tumour type, biomarkers and overall fitness. Your reports will guide the oncologist’s plan.
Is proton therapy available?
Proton therapy exists in India at select centres outside our immediate Delhi-NCR network. If indicated, we can coordinate referral.
How long should I plan to stay in India?
Durations vary: day-care chemo cycles are often same-day, conventional radiation takes 4–7 weeks (shorter for SBRT/SRS), and surgery depends on complexity.
Is there a waiting list?
No. Fast-track access is available. E-opinions are typically returned in 24–48 hours, with appointments usually scheduled within 2–5 working days.
Will I have language support?
Yes. Arabic, Russian, French, and English support is available. Tell us your preference when you enquire.
