SriJothi Cancer Care
Oncologist near West Mambalam
West Mambalam borders Kodambakkam to the south, so our clinic is only a short drive away for families across this densely residential neighbourhood.
Cancer Care for West Mambalam Residents
Cancer treatment means frequent visits, and for West Mambalam’s many older residents in upper-floor homes without lifts, every trip across the city is hard work. Reviews, blood-test results and follow-up at SriJothi Cancer Care are minutes away down Lake View Road, and a family member can come along without losing the whole day.
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.
