HCG Cancer Centre Bangalore — India's Largest Dedicated Cancer Care Network
About The Hospital
HCG Cancer Centre
P. Kalinga Rao Road, Sampangirama Nagar, Bangalore 560 027, Karnataka, India
HCG Cancer Centre in Bangalore is the flagship institution of HealthCare Global Enterprises (HCG) — India's largest dedicated cancer care network, with over 22 centres across India. Founded by Dr. B.S. Ajaikumar in 1989, HCG Bangalore pioneered high-quality, specialised oncology care at a time when Indian cancer treatment was largely limited to a small number of government institutions. Over three decades, HCG has grown into a nationally recognised brand for comprehensive, sub-specialised cancer care, anchored by its Bangalore flagship.
HCG Cancer Centre Bangalore is accredited by NABH, JCI, and ISO, a triple-certification that reflects its systematic approach to clinical quality, infection control, and patient safety. The centre operates on a multidisciplinary model: every cancer patient is evaluated by a tumour board comprising surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists before a treatment decision is made — eliminating the common problem of patients receiving advice from a single specialist without cross-disciplinary review.
The radiation oncology department at HCG Bangalore is one of the most sophisticated in India. The centre operates multiple linear accelerators including TrueBeam STx — one of the most advanced radiation therapy machines globally — capable of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). HCG was among the first hospitals in India to operate a PET-CT scanner, an achievement that positioned it as a leader in oncology imaging.
Bone marrow transplantation (BMT) at HCG Bangalore covers autologous, allogeneic (matched related and unrelated), and haploidentical BMT for haematological malignancies including multiple myeloma, acute leukaemia, lymphoma, and aplastic anaemia. The BMT unit is equipped with HEPA-filtered positive-pressure isolation rooms and 24-hour haematology intensivist cover.
International patients from the Gulf, Africa, and Southeast Asia travel to HCG Bangalore specifically for cancer diagnosis, second opinions, and treatment — attracted by its specialised focus, advanced technology, and competitive costs compared to Western countries.
