Experts
Comprehensive Ophthalmic Oncology
The establishment of the Centre for Ophthalmic Oncology at Shankara Cancer Hospitals is a crucial advancement in addressing a significant gap in cancer care. Retinoblastomas, particularly affecting children under five, are life-threatening and vision-impairing, with around 1,500 new cases annually in India. Early detection can preserve vision and life, but comprehensive care facilities that provide all necessary treatments under one roof are few and rare. Our center fulfills this critical need, offering a multidisciplinary approach that combines advanced technology, expertise, and affordability, ensuring that no child or adult has to endure the hardship of fragmented care. This facility not only saves lives but also preserves the quality of life, making it an invaluable resource for society.
