Home> Oncology Services> Day Care Chemotherapy Center

OVERVIEWHCG Day Care Chemotherapy Centre is a well-equipped clinic for outpatient chemotherapy. Day care chemotherapy allows patients to go home the same day they receive chemotherapy infusions, saving time and resources.

Day care chemotherapy is a novel concept in cancer care, and as one of the best cancer hospitals in India, HCG has thoroughly understood its importance and strives to make it easily accessible to patients. In many cases, chemotherapy patients do not even require a bed; they can receive treatment on a private couch or in the common lounge while reading, watching television, or using their phones.

As a specialised Day Care Chemotherapy Centre, HCG has a 360-degree approach to promoting wellness among patients undergoing chemotherapy. Patients can consult skilled and experienced medical oncologists in an ambient treatment setting, and the cancer care team also includes specialised onconurses and RMOs.

Benefits of Day Care Chemotherapy

Minimal Disruption to the Routine

Each session may take between 1-8 hours, depending upon the treatment plan devised, and the patients may leave once the session is over. This way, the routine activities of the patients are not hampered.

Reduced Travel Burdens

HCG Day Care Chemotherapy Centre aims to reduce the travel burdens for patients who visit far-off hospitals for their chemotherapy sessions. By bringing care closer to home, we are helping patients attend their treatment sessions comfortably.

Hassle-Free Treatment with Reduced Waiting Time

Our chemotherapy clinic focuses only on chemotherapy or other medical oncology sub-specialities, such as hormone therapy and immunotherapy. The entire procedure, from registration to discharge, is hassle-free, flexible, and seamless.

Reduced Financial Burdens

By delivering the treatment on an outpatient/day care basis and bringing care closer to home, HCG Day Care Centre makes cancer treatment more economical for the patients.

Reduced Risk of Hospital- Acquired Infections

Chemotherapy patients, in most cases, are immunocompromised. Despite infection control protocols in place, hospitals are associated with certain infection risks. However, this is not the case at HCG Day Care Centre since it only caters to chemotherapy patients and follows strict hygienic practices.

Faster Recovery

Cancer patients tend to recover better in the comfort of their homes. Having near and dear ones around can positively impact the patient’s outlook towards the disease and treatment. This positive outlook supports better treatment response and faster recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect at my first chemo treatment?

After your first chemo session, you may feel tired. You should get enough rest after the treatment, as rest will have a positive effect on your treatment response and recovery.

It is important to know that chemotherapy affects healthy cells too; therefore, you must prepare your body for chemotherapy by eating healthy foods, keeping yourself well hydrated, and getting enough rest.

It is recommended that patients do not drive themselves home after their chemotherapy session, as the treatment may cause fatigue, dizziness or other side effects that could impair their ability to drive safely. It is advisable to arrange for someone to drive you home or take public transport.

Please make sure to wear comfortable clothes like pajamas or sweatpants.

Chemo drugs are administered through chemo ports, which are surgically inserted in the upper chest region or arms. So, we suggest you plan your outfits accordingly.

A few patients feel chilly, whereas a few patients tend to sweat. So, please bring an extra shirt/dress and a sweater.

Patients must note that the side effects caused due to chemotherapy are temporary and wear off over time. Common side effects of chemotherapy include fatigue, bruising, anaemia, loss of appetite, constipation, infections, diarrhoea, nausea and vomiting, mouth sores, hair loss etc.
