FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Can cancer spread from one person to another?

No. Cancer is not contagious and cannot spread through touch, air, or food. Rarely, it could transfer via organ or tissue transplants, but the immune system usually prevents this.

Is it safe to be around family and children during treatment?

Yes. Cancer treatments are not contagious. Patients can safely interact with family members and children at home without posing any risk.

How do medical oncologists determine if surgery is needed?

Medical oncologists evaluate overall health, medical history, test results, and symptoms. Surgery is recommended only if it offers clear benefits and aligns with the patient's treatment plan.

Am I too old to undergo cancer treatment?

Age alone doesn't prevent treatment. Doctors consider overall health and medical conditions. Many older patients benefit from therapy, though some illnesses may limit certain options.

What types of medical conditions do surgical oncologists treat?

Surgical oncologists treat cancers of the breast, colon, pancreas, liver, skin, soft tissues, sarcomas, and endocrine tumours. Sahayog Hospital also handles complex and reconstructive surgeries.
