Transforming Cancer Treatment with Home-Based Care
Pi Oncology is pioneering a new approach to cancer treatment by introducing Cancer Care at Home—a first-of-its-kind initiative in India. This innovative program provides 24/7 personalized cancer care across Hyderabad, allowing patients to receive chemotherapy, breast cancer screenings, and cancer-related vaccinations from the comfort of their homes. By eliminating the need for hospital visits, this initiative significantly reduces stress and enhances the overall patient experience.
A Compassionate Alternative to Hospital Treatment
Traditional hospital settings can be overwhelming, often evoking distressing memories for cancer patients. Pi Cancer Care’s home-based services provide a compassionate alternative by delivering hospital-quality care in a familiar and peaceful environment, surrounded by loved ones.
According to Dr. Bharat Patodiya, Founder & Director, and Chief Medical Oncologist at Pi Cancer Care, emotional well-being is a crucial aspect of cancer treatment. Receiving care at home fosters positivity, comfort, and peace of mind, which can enhance a patient’s overall response to treatment. Additionally, home-based care eliminates the hassle of commuting, reduces hospital wait times, and lowers treatment costs—making world-class care more accessible and stress-free.
Comprehensive Cancer Care Services at Home
- Chemotherapy Administration
Patients requiring chemotherapy benefit from home-based lab draws and telehealth consultations. A dedicated nursing team ensures seamless administration of chemotherapy sessions while continuously monitoring the patient’s condition. The team is also equipped with advanced digital devices that report five key health parameters directly to the doctor, ensuring real-time medical supervision. - Breast Cancer Screening & Follow-Up Care
A team of skilled professionals conducts breast cancer screenings at home. Based on the results, necessary follow-up procedures are recommended, ensuring early detection and timely intervention. - Cancer-Related Vaccinations
Pi Cancer Care administers cancer-related vaccinations at home. After receiving the vaccine, patients are monitored for 30 minutes to manage any potential reactions, ensuring a safe and effective immunization process.
Making Cancer Treatment Affordable and Accessible
Pi Cancer Care aims to redefine cancer treatment by making it more accessible and affordable. Unlike large hospitals with high operational costs, home-based and community-based cancer treatment centers offer the same high-quality medical care at a fraction of the cost.
Dr. Patodiya explains, “Cancer treatment doesn’t require huge buildings or expensive hospitals. A clinic near you reduces costs, travel time, and the burden on already weak cancer patients. The same way a cup of tea costs ₹50 at a local shop but ₹500 at a five-star hotel, cancer treatment at large hospitals includes high overhead expenses, which patients end up paying for.”
As per the press release, this clinic-based model has already proven successful in Mumbai and internationally. Expanding it across Hyderabad and India will provide faster, more personalized, and cost-effective care. Additionally, avoiding overnight hospitalization helps improve patients’ mental well-being. Patients can receive treatment in private chambers equipped with motivational films, making their experience feel less clinical and more uplifting.
A New Era in Cancer Care
With Pi Cancer Care’s home-based services, patients no longer need to endure stressful hospital visits. Instead, they receive dignified, world-class cancer treatment in a familiar and supportive environment. This patient-centric approach is reshaping cancer care in India, making the journey to recovery smoother and more reassuring.
