Oncowin Cancer Center

Oncowin Cancer Center is a medical oncology and haematology practice in Ahmedabad. Three DM medical oncologists set it up: Dr. Gaurang Modi, Dr. Rushabh Kothari and Dr. Itesh Khatwani. Most treatment is given on a day-care basis, so patients usually go home the same evening.

This listing is for the Paldi centre, on the 7th floor of HR Elanza near Mahalaxmi Cross Road. It holds an entry-level NABH certification. Oncowin also has centres in Nikol, on S.G. Highway near Science City and in Nava Vadaj, so families from different parts of the city don't have to cross town for every chemo cycle.

Treatments:

• Chemotherapy, immunotherapy and targeted therapy
• CAR T-cell therapy
• Bone marrow and stem cell transplant
• Blood transfusion, lumbar puncture and intrathecal chemotherapy
• Benign and malignant haematology
• Paediatric haematology and oncology
• Genetic counselling and testing, screening and cancer vaccination
• Palliative care, pain management, nutrition support and physiotherapy

Each doctor has a focus. Dr. Modi sees blood cancers, sarcomas and head and neck cancers. Dr. Kothari covers lung, prostate, genitourinary and gynaecological cancers. Dr. Khatwani treats gastrointestinal and liver-related cancers as well as cancers in children. Dr. Geeta Khatwani is the team's paediatric hemato-oncologist, and Dr. Palak Bhatt works on solid tumours, including soft tissue sarcoma.

There's an in-house lab and pharmacy, which cuts out a lot of running around during treatment. Cashless insurance is available. Costs aren't listed online because they depend on the drugs and the protocol, so ask for an estimate at the first visit.

If you're coming for a second opinion, bring your biopsy report, recent scans and any treatment summary from your previous hospital. It helps the oncologist give you a clear plan at the first appointment rather than the second.
