SriJothi Cancer Care
Oncologist near KK Nagar
KK Nagar families value quick access to a trusted physician, and our Kodambakkam clinic is a short, straightforward drive away.
Cancer Care for KK Nagar Residents
Screening is where KK Nagar families most often start with us: a mother due for a breast or cervical check, or a relative with a family history of cancer. We plan screening around the household, and when something needs further tests, the route in via Ashok Pillar is short.
Cancer care is far more than the treatment itself. There is the worrying symptom that needs checking, the biopsy report that needs explaining, the choice between treatment options, the side effects to manage between hospital visits, and years of follow-up once treatment ends. Most of those steps are best handled by a specialist close to home.
SriJothi Cancer Care is the cancer practice of radiation oncologist Dr. S. Usha (Dr. Usha Sukumaran), MBBS, DMRT, at Srinivasa Health Clinic in Kodambakkam. She sees patients for screening, second opinions, radiotherapy and chemotherapy planning, supportive and palliative care, and follow-up, and is a visiting consultant at several leading Chennai hospitals, where treatment that needs hospital facilities is given.
