SriJothi Cancer Care
Oncologist near Saligramam
Saligramam sits just west of Kodambakkam along the Arcot Road corridor, giving residents quick, congestion-friendly access to our clinic.
Cancer Care for Saligramam Residents
For Saligramam families fitting a relative’s cancer care around IT-park shifts, the real constraint is time. SriJothi Cancer Care is a straight run along Arcot Road, so a review or a second-opinion consultation takes a morning rather than a day off work.
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.
Understanding Patients from Saligramam
Saligramam mixes long-standing residential streets with the DLF IT Park and the studio belt, so our patients from here split into two groups: desk-bound professionals on long shifts, and settled families. The working group in particular tends to book the earliest morning or last evening slot, and to have let a symptom run for weeks before coming in.

- A new lump or swelling
