Surat. 14 June, 2026 : In a significant step towards improving access to advanced oncology care, Hemato-Oncology Clinic (HOC) Vedanta, in association with M|O|C Cancer Care, today inaugurated its state-of-the-art Cancer Centre in Vesu, Surat. The newly established facility is dedicated to delivering evidence-based and patient-centric, precision cancer care to patients and caregivers across Surat and neighbouring regions.
HOC Vedanta’s cancer centre in Surat marks the sixth facility in Gujarat and 29th in India, within the HOC-MOC network, further expanding its footprints within the state. Backed by a network that has positively impacted the lives of over five lakh cancer patients and administers more than 85,000 chemo-immuno treatments annually, this centre reinforces organisation’s commitment to making expert-led, personalized and advanced cancer care accessible and affordable to patients across India.
The Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute (GCRI), Ahmedabad alone reported 16,794 cancer cases in 2025. Head and Neck cancer in men and breast cancer in women comprised almost 20% of the total number of cases dealt with at the GCRI.
HOC Vedanta’s cancer centre in Surat will offers specialized diagnosis and precision cancer care services including advanced forms of Immonotherapies, targeted therapies along with chemotherapy and supportive care through expert oncologists, in a safe, infection-free & hassel-free, patient-friendly facility. This facility will cater to the growing need of new age cancer facilities in Surat and nearby locations, on account of growing incidence of cancer in the region.
Speaking at the inauguration, Dr Jayanti Patel- senior medical oncologist at HOC Vedanta- Surat, said, “The state of Gujarat is experiencing an increase in the incidence of cancer patients. While early detection and timely intervention can significantly improve cancer outcomes, many patients continue to face barriers in accessing specialised cancer care services, often requiring them to travel long distances and bare high costs for appropriate care. Our Surat center is an embodiment of the mission of HOC Vedanta – MOC Cancer Care to extend the facilities of advanced oncology services by creating neighborhood cancer facilities.”
Dr Anokhi Shah, medical oncologist at HOC Vedanta- Surat added, “The process of treating cancer involves frequent hospital visits for several months, which means that access and convenience play a very crucial role in the life of patients and their families. This centre is specifically designed to provide cancer services in an patient-friendly setting, which will make sure that patients have all of the treatment options available, without any inconvenience and right near their home. Cancer care is more than just treatment; it is also about offering personalized and warm care while minimizing hassles. We intend to offer both at HOC Vedants- Surat.”
