SriJothi Cancer Care
Oncologist near Vadapalani
Vadapalani, home to the well-known Murugan Temple and a busy metro interchange, is well connected to our Kodambakkam clinic along Arcot Road.
Cancer Care for Vadapalani Residents
The Vadapalani metro puts SriJothi Cancer Care in Kodambakkam a short hop away. Many patients from here come first with a symptom that worries them, a lump or a mouth ulcer that will not heal, and leave with a clear plan for whatever tests are needed.
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.
