A Clear and Supportive Cancer Treatment Journey in Pune

A cancer diagnosis can feel overwhelming. Questions, fear, confusion, and uncertainty are natural.

Dr Snita Sinukumar believes that every patient deserves clarity, confidence, and compassionate guidance. Your treatment journey is carefully planned, step by step, with medical precision and emotional support.

This page explains exactly what you can expect at every stage.

Step 1

Initial Consultation and Detailed Evaluation

Understanding Your Diagnosis

During your first visit:

  • Complete medical history is reviewed
  • Previous reports and biopsy results are evaluated
  • Symptoms are discussed in detail
  • Physical examination is performed

If required, additional investigations such as blood tests, CT scan, MRI, PET scan or biopsy may be advised.

The goal is accurate staging and complete clarity before planning treatment.

Step 2

Personalized Treatment Planning

Multidisciplinary Tumor Board Approach

Every cancer case is unique. Treatment is decided based on:

  • Type of cancer
  • Stage of disease
  • Overall health
  • Patient preferences

Complex cases are discussed in a multidisciplinary tumor board including medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists.

You receive a clear explanation of:

  • Whether surgery is required
  • Whether chemotherapy is needed
  • Whether robotic surgery or HIPEC is suitable
  • Expected outcomes and timelines

Transparency builds confidence.

Step 3

Pre Surgery Preparation

If surgery is recommended, you will receive:

  • Detailed explanation of the procedure
  • Risk discussion
  • Pre anaesthesia evaluation
  • Blood tests and imaging
  • Diet and medication instructions

For procedures like cytoreductive surgery, robotic cancer surgery, stoma creation, or chemo port insertion, everything is explained in simple language.

You and your family are encouraged to ask questions.

Dr Snita Sinukumar specializes in:

  • Robotic cancer surgery
  • Complex ovarian cancer cytoreduction
  • HIPEC
  • Colorectal cancer surgery
  • Chemo port insertion

Depending on your condition, surgery may be:

Safety, precision, and complete tumor removal are always the priority.

Step 5

After surgery:

  • You are monitored in recovery
  • Pain is carefully managed
  • Early mobilization is encouraged
  • Nutrition support is provided

Hospital stay varies depending on the procedure.

You receive clear discharge instructions including wound care, activity levels, and follow up schedule.

Step 6

Chemotherapy or Additional Treatment

If chemotherapy or targeted therapy is needed:

  • Chemo port insertion may be planned
  • Treatment cycles are explained
  • Side effect management guidance is provided
  • Regular blood tests and scans are scheduled

Support continues beyond surgery.

Step 7

Rehabilitation and Long Term Follow Up

Cancer care does not end after treatment.

Long term follow up includes:

  • Regular clinical examination

  • Imaging when required
  • Lifestyle and nutrition guidance

The goal is early detection of recurrence and long term survival.
