It offers world-class cancer care treatments and diagnostics in Gurugram and the neighboring states. American Oncology Institute (AOI) brings with it the network of super-specialty cancer hospitals in India and South Asia.

American Oncology Institute (AOI) in Gurugram has successfully treated a rare and complex case of double malignancy in a 73-year-old woman from southern India. The patient presented with postmenopausal bleeding for about one month, and examinations revealed a 3 cm endocervical growth extending into the upper vagina, alongside a lump in the right breast.

Upon further evaluation, the breast lump was identified as a 3.0 x 3.1 x 2.4 cm invasive ductal carcinoma. The cervical mass was diagnosed as squamous cell carcinoma. Additionally, FDG scans also showed active lymph nodes in the right armpit and left area near the rectum.

Dr (Brig) Anil Kumar Dhar, HOD, Medical Oncologist, AOI Gurugram, commented on the case, “This case was particularly challenging due to the rarity and complexity of treating two malignancies concurrently. Our team at AOI Gurugram meticulously planned and executed a multi-modality treatment approach, resulting in a successful outcome. This case not only underscores our commitment to providing personalized and effective cancer care but also sets a precedent for treating similar cases in the future.”

We are proud of the comprehensive care provided, which ensured a positive outcome for the patient. This case exemplifies the high standard of cancer treatment we strive to deliver.”

The treatment approach for this challenging case involved a multi-modality strategy, including concurrent chemotherapy and radiotherapy for the cervical cancer, followed by surgery for the breast cancer, and subsequent adjuvant chemotherapy and hormonal therapy. This comprehensive treatment plan led to a complete response, and the patient is currently in remission.
