Women’s Cancer Care with a Human Touch

At Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, we have created a Women-Centric Cancer Care destination where specialist treatment and emotional support work together. Our centre is built around the understanding that every woman’s cancer journey is different. Some need a breast cancer expert. Some need fertility-sensitive gynaecological cancer care. Some need a specialist who listens carefully before recommending a treatment path.

Our vision is simple and powerful: For Women, By A Woman.

Our Vision

To offer a specialist women’s cancer program that combines advanced clinical care with compassionate support, so that every woman receives treatment that is safe, effective, and deeply personal.

Our Mission

  • To provide surgeon-led cancer planning from the first visit
  • To create a comfortable environment for women seeking specialist care
  • To support early diagnosis through screening and preventive oncology
  • To deliver advanced treatment with a strong focus on breast and gynaecological cancers
  • To preserve fertility whenever oncologically safe
  • To use minimally invasive and robotic approaches where appropriate
  • To help women move through treatment with confidence and clarity

Our Care Approach

Women’s cancers are not just clinical diagnoses. They influence your body, your emotions, your confidence, and often your future plans around fertility and family. Our Women’s Cancer Care program is designed to support you at every stage, from screening and early detection to advanced treatment and recovery, with a clear focus on personalised, empathetic care.

Our centre brings together a complete cancer care pathway on one dedicated floor. This includes radiology, OPD consultations, mammogram services, onco-diagnostics, and cancer support, all in one place. This integrated setup ensures faster diagnosis, coordinated treatment planning, and a more comfortable experience without the need to move across multiple departments.

Our program is strongly focused on Breast cancer and Gynaecological cancers, including cervical, uterine, and ovarian cancers. Breast cancer remains our primary area of focus, followed by ovarian cancer, where timely diagnosis and advanced surgical planning are critical. Every patient journey begins with the surgeon, who acts as the first point of contact and leads the treatment plan, ensuring clarity, continuity, and confidence from the start. A key difference in our approach is the emphasis on emotional connection. Cancer care here goes beyond procedures and protocols. Many women feel more at ease discussing sensitive health concerns with a female specialist, which ensures that you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout your journey.

Preventive oncology remains an integral part of our program, which includes routine screening, routine health checks, and early detection strategies such as clinical breast exams, mammography, and cervical screening. Early diagnosis allows for more effective and less invasive treatment options.

Our treatment approach is tailored and evidence-based.

  • In breast cancer, we focus on breast conservation surgery, sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB), and oncoplastic techniques that help preserve both function and appearance.
  • In gynaecological cancers, we commonly use minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgeries, which offer precision, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery.
  • For women diagnosed at a younger age, fertility preservation is carefully considered. Wherever oncologically safe, we offer fertility-sparing surgeries and treatment pathways that protect reproductive potential without compromising cancer outcomes.
  • For women diagnosed at a younger age, fertility preservation is carefully considered. Wherever oncologically safe, we offer fertility-sparing surgeries and treatment pathways that protect reproductive potential without compromising cancer outcomes.
  • In advanced and complex cancer cases, including peritoneal surface malignancies, we provide specialised procedures such as cytoreductive surgery (CRS) combined with HIPEC (Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy) and, in selected cases, PIPAC, offering new possibilities where treatment was once limited.

At Women’s Cancer Care, Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road, we combine surgical expertise, advanced technology, and compassionate support to help you move through cancer care with clarity, confidence, and strength.

Support for Caregivers

We recognize that a cancer diagnosis affects the entire family, which is why we also provide dedicated resources to help caregivers navigate their vital role. Our female-led cancer care team offers guidance on managing the practical and emotional demands of caregiving, ensuring your loved ones feel equipped and resilient. By prioritising the well-being of your support network, we create a stronger foundation for your collective healing journey.
