National Cancer Institute, Nagpur, India

National Cancer Institute is designed as a comprehensive oncology centre, bringing multiple cancer treatment disciplines and supportive services together within one institutional framework.

Medical Oncology

The Medical Oncology department provides systemic cancer treatment including chemotherapy and immunotherapy, supported by dedicated day-care and inpatient facilities.

NCI’s published statistics record more than 135,000 chemotherapy infusions administered through June 2026, demonstrating the scale of its oncology treatment program.

For international patients, Asar Care helps organise previous treatment records, pathology reports, imaging, chemotherapy history, and other documents needed for specialist review before travel.

Surgical Oncology

NCI’s Surgical Oncology department includes specialists across different cancer sites including head and neck, gynaecological oncology, bone and soft tissue, thoracic, abdominal, and breast cancers.

The department has four major operating theatres, a 12-bed surgical intensive care unit, dedicated surgical inpatient beds, and facilities for complex procedures including minimally invasive cancer surgery, HIPEC, and paediatric cancer surgery.

Asar Care helps international patients coordinate the relevant surgical oncology consultation, prepare medical records, and understand the likely treatment pathway before travelling.

Radiation Oncology

The Radiation Oncology department is one of NCI’s key specialised capabilities, with advanced linear accelerators, GammaMedPlus HDR brachytherapy, Wide Bore CT simulation, MRI, and high-precision radiation treatment capabilities.

The department routinely provides treatments including 3D conformal radiotherapy, IMRT, IGRT, DIBH, SRS, and SBRT.

For patients travelling specifically for radiation treatment, Asar Care helps coordinate previous treatment records, pathology, imaging, radiation plans where available, and specialist appointments before travel.

Paediatric Oncology

NCI provides dedicated paediatric oncology services with inpatient facilities, paediatric intensive care, daycare, and child-focused support infrastructure.

The paediatric oncology unit includes a dedicated inpatient ward, PICU facilities, and a children’s playroom.

For international families travelling with children, Asar Care helps coordinate medical records, previous treatment history, specialist appointments, accommodation planning, and attendant requirements.

Haematology & Bone Marrow Transplant

NCI provides haematology and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation services for patients with blood cancers and other conditions requiring stem cell-based treatment.

The institute has commissioned an 8-bed HSCT unit for bone marrow transplantation.

Transplant journeys require detailed medical records, eligibility assessment, donor-related information where applicable, treatment history, and careful planning. Asar Care supports the coordination layer while the clinical team manages medical evaluation and treatment.

Nuclear Medicine

The Nuclear Medicine department provides diagnostic PET/CT and nuclear medicine services alongside therapeutic applications.

NCI’s department reports more than 23,000 nuclear medicine investigations through June 2026, with services extending beyond diagnosis into research and therapeutic applications.

For international patients requiring PET/CT, nuclear medicine evaluation, or related treatment, Asar Care helps coordinate records, appointments, and travel planning.

• Physiotherapy
• Occupational therapy
• Nutrition and dietetics
• Psycho-oncology counselling
• Prosthetics and orthotics
• Palliative and supportive care
• Pain management

These services can be particularly important for patients undergoing prolonged or complex cancer treatment and recovery.
