"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali

Our core focus at Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SSCHRC) is to serve, treat and rehabilitate patients suffering from cancer. We at SSCHRC also believe that there is a great need to focus on prevention of cancer through cancer awareness initiatives and research both in community environment and also in the laboratories. The objectives of establishing this charitable cancer hospital is to :

- Provide state-of-the-art treatment to all cancer patients at affordable costs irrespective of caste, creed, and socio-economic status.

-To offer free treatment to the poorest and set aside 10% of beds and services for this purpose.

-To reduce the incidence of cancer in the rural areas and also to detect cancer in early stages through various interventional initiatives.

-To make the treatment affordable by reducing the basic cost of treatment and enable the patients to obtain state-of-the-art contemporary treatment.

-To provide medicines at highly subsidized costs.

-To develop a Centre of Research under eminent scientists and medical professionals so as to drive the research activities towards reducing the cancer burden in the society, improving the treatment standards, and by academically remaining in the cutting edge of science.

-To establish a Paediatric Cancer Centre of International Standards.

PET-CT: A Clearer Picture for Cancer Care

Understanding cancer helps doctors plan the next step in care. PET-CT combines information about activity within tissues with detailed images of the body.

FDG, a commonly used radioactive tracer similar to glucose, is given through an injection into a vein. It helps highlight areas of increased glucose use, which may include cancer. Doctors interpret these findings carefully, as infection and inflammation can also cause increased uptake.

When clinically appropriate, PET-CT helps assess cancer spread, evaluate treatment response and investigate suspected recurrence.

Watch Dr. Rachita Rungta, Junior Consultant – Nuclear Medicine, explain how PET-CT supports informed decisions in cancer care.
