Mumbai, September 2, 2026 — In a landmark achievement, HCG Cancer Hospital, Mumbai, has successfully treated more than 125 prostate cancer patients without the need for surgery or prolonged hospitalization. Leveraging cutting-edge SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) delivered via the Versa HD system, and robotic precision through the CyberKnife platform, the hospital has demonstrated how advanced radiation technologies can transform prostate cancer care.
Breakthrough in Prostate Cancer Treatment
Traditionally, prostate cancer patients have relied on surgery and extended hospital stays for treatment. HCG Cancer Hospital has now proven that these are no longer mandatory. With SBRT, patients can complete treatment in just five sessions, avoiding surgical incisions and lengthy recovery periods.
The CyberKnife system, available exclusively at HCG Cancer Hospital in Colaba, Mumbai, combines robotic accuracy with advanced imaging to deliver precise radiation while tracking internal organ movement. This ensures maximum effectiveness while protecting nearby organs such as the bladder and rectum.
Global Context
According to the International Agency for Research on Cancer (Globocan 2022), India recorded 37,948 new prostate cancer cases in 2022, a number projected to rise to 82,252 annually by 2045. This alarming trend underscores the urgent need for awareness and access to advanced treatment options.
Expert Insights
Dr. Trinanjan Basu, Head of Radiation Oncology at HCG Cancer Hospital, explained: “Many patients believe surgery is the only option for prostate cancer. With SBRT and CyberKnife, we can deliver effective treatment without incisions, hospitalization, or prolonged recovery. Each patient’s age, stage of cancer, risk level, and overall health are carefully considered before recommending the best approach.”
He emphasized that SBRT is particularly beneficial for elderly patients and those unfit for surgery, offering a safe, effective, and outpatient solution.
Mr. Rupesh Chaube, Regional COO for Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh at Healthcare Global Enterprises Ltd., added: “With 35 years of experience and India’s largest cancer hospital network, HCG has consistently worked to make advanced cancer care accessible. CyberKnife technology, supported by expert oncologists, medical physicists, and radiation therapists, ensures precision and quality outcomes.”
Mr. Avik Chauhan, Cluster COO of HCG Mumbai, noted: “Treating over 125 prostate cancer patients successfully with advanced radiation therapy marks a significant milestone. Our commitment is to provide less painful, more convenient treatment options while ensuring accuracy and patient comfort.”
Patient Experiences
Several patients shared their journeys, highlighting the relief of avoiding surgery and long hospital stays. One patient said: “When diagnosed, I feared surgery and prolonged hospitalization. The doctors explained radiation options clearly. Each session was quick, and I could return home immediately. The guidance and support gave me confidence throughout treatment.”
Another patient added: “Cancer felt like life had stopped suddenly. I feared pain, dependency, and surgery. But these treatments were simpler and painless. The medical team explained every step and treated me like family, restoring hope.”
Hospital’s Commitment
HCG Cancer Hospital Mumbai is committed to raising awareness that surgery is not the only option for prostate cancer.
