Cancer care in India for international patients
Tell us what you know so far. We connect you with oncologists at leading Indian hospitals who review your reports and explain your options in plain language. You decide, with no pressure from us.
International accreditation such as JCI is awarded to individual hospital facilities. We tell you which facility holds which accreditation, and link you to the accrediting body so you can confirm it yourself.

Hospital names are shown to illustrate our partner network; specific specialists, services and availability depend on the hospital and your diagnosis.
For complex cases, surgeons, oncologists, pathologists and radiologists review your case together.
Molecular and genomic testing, PET-CT and modern imaging, where relevant to your diagnosis.
We weigh your cancer type, the expertise needed, city, language and budget, not the largest hospital by default.
If your mind is full of them right now, that is completely normal. Here is where we can help with each one, honestly.
Many cancers can be cured, especially when treated at the right stage, and others can be controlled for years. The honest answer depends on your cancer type, stage, test results and general health. A specialist Doctor who has reviewed your actual reports can give you a realistic picture rather than a general one.
How a specialist opinion worksCancer is many different diseases, so the best plan is specific to you. It usually starts with confirming the diagnosis, modern molecular testing where relevant, and a joint review by surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists.
How treatment plans are builtTrust should be checkable. You can see doctors' names and qualifications, verify a hospital's accreditation with the accrediting body, check our company details, and ask exactly how we are paid.
How you can verify usYour doctors provide the clinical care. A named coordinator handles everything around it: appointments, paperwork, travel, airport pick-up, hospital navigation and keeping your family informed.
What our patient team doesNo one can quote a responsible price without your reports. We request an itemised estimate from the hospital, show what is and isn't included, and tell you what could change it, so you can plan before you travel.
Costs across countriesMany hospitals offer follow-up teleconsultations once you are home, and we help arrange them. For independent explanations at any time, ASCO's Cancer.Net and NCCN's patient guides are free to read.
Trusted sources and questions to askWe match your case to the relevant oncology team. A lung cancer needs a different team from a leukaemia, so we do not recommend the same doctor to everyone.
Medicines such as chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy.
Whether surgery is right for you, and which technique, including minimally invasive and robotic options.
Radiation planning, including precision techniques where indicated.
Each profile shows the doctor's medical council registration and published work, so you can check them independently.
At selected hospitals, a specialist team reviews your reports and gives an initial view of your options. Availability varies by hospital and case.
A live conversation with your chosen oncologist, where you and your family can ask questions. You will know the fee before you book.

New technology helps only when it fits your cancer. Your treating team decides what is medically right for you. These are the tools that may be considered.
Tests that look for changes in your tumour that can guide which medicines are most likely to help.
Medicines aimed at specific features of certain cancers.
Treatments that help the immune system respond to selected cancers.
IMRT, IGRT, SBRT and other techniques that aim radiation at the tumour while sparing healthy tissue, when indicated and available.
Smaller incisions and, for suitable patients, quicker recovery.
Managing pain, nutrition and side effects so treatment is more comfortable.
Pathology and imaging are reviewed, and repeated if needed.
Molecular testing where it could change treatment.
A tumor board weighs surgery, medicines and radiation.
Goals, benefits, side effects and cost, in plain language.
Oncologists commonly refer to evidence-based guidelines such as those from ASCO and NCCN. You can read the same plain-language patient guides yourself: ASCO Cancer.Net, NCCN Guidelines for Patients, US National Cancer Institute. These organisations do not endorse Hosplan or any hospital.
Choose your cancer type to start a chat about it, or message us if your diagnosis is not confirmed yet.
India's cancer care is often substantially less expensive than in many other countries, but there is no single price for "cancer treatment". Cost depends on the diagnosis, stage, medicines, surgery, duration and hospital.
Same treatment, same scope, four countries.
Final costs can change after in-person evaluation, additional tests or changes in the treatment plan.
Many Indian oncologists have trained or worked at leading centres in the US, UK and Europe, and treat a high volume of patients.
Advanced radiation, robotic surgery and molecular diagnostics are available in major hospitals.
Many patients can begin evaluation and treatment quickly, instead of waiting weeks.
Doctors and nurses communicate in English, and interpreters can be arranged for other languages.
From your first message to your follow-up, a coordinator handles the practical work so you and your family can focus on treatment and recovery.
Specialist opinions, estimates, medical visa invitation letters and travel planning.
Airport pick-up, transfers and help settling in, as per your agreed service plan.
Appointments, hospital navigation, stay near the hospital, interpreters, and food that suits your diet, including halal and vegetarian.
Discharge records, follow-up consultations and staying connected once you are home.
Family members are welcome in every conversation. If you wish, we can also keep relatives updated on your behalf.
Your coordinator is a real person with a name.
Medical travel attracts scams, and we want you to be careful. Here is how to protect yourself, and how we protect you.
Check our company name and contact details at the bottom of this page. We will never ask you to pay into a personal account.
Reports are shared only through a secure process, and only with the doctors reviewing your case. You can ask us to delete them at any time.
If a remote opinion or treatment closer to home is better for you, we will say so.
No one can promise a cure. We will not promise outcomes, and we will tell you what is uncertain.
Treatment can bring complications. Your coordinator is your first call, the hospital's team is available around you, and we will help with changes to travel plans or returning home. Ask us in advance how this works for your case.
You can escalate any concern directly to our founder, Kapil Munjal.
Questions don't stop after the first consultation. Alongside your treating doctors, these free resources are written by leading cancer organisations.
These organisations are independent and do not endorse Hosplan.
Take these to any consultation, including ours. A good doctor will welcome them.
Ask to see the pathology report and what imaging was used. A second pathology review can matter.
For some cancers, these tests can open up targeted or immunotherapy options. Ask whether they apply to you.
Understanding the goal helps you weigh benefits against side effects.
Ask how the options compare on benefit, risk and recovery time.
For many cancers, a combined review by several specialists leads to better-considered plans.
It is reasonable to ask how many similar patients they treat.
Ask who to contact if side effects start after you return home.
Ask for it in writing and itemised.
Some cancers can be cured and others controlled for long periods. The outlook depends on the type, stage, biology and response to treatment. An oncologist can discuss realistic goals after reviewing your case.
Often, yes. Depending on the hospital and specialist, your records can be reviewed remotely and an online consultation may be available. We explain the process and any fees in advance.
Helpful documents include a biopsy or pathology report, CT, MRI or PET reports, molecular test results if available, recent blood tests and a summary of any treatment already received. Please contact us even if some are missing.
Some hospitals offer a complimentary initial case opinion. Scheduled video consultations may be chargeable. Availability and fees are confirmed before you book.
We request an indicative estimate from the hospital based on your medical records. Final costs can change after in-person evaluation, extra tests or changes to the plan.
Accreditation such as JCI or NABH applies to individual hospital facilities. We tell you which facility holds which accreditation, and you can verify it with the accrediting body.
No. Medical care is provided by licensed doctors and hospitals. Hosplan, a service of Treatment Traveller Private Limited, coordinates specialist access, communication and patient travel services.
We can help coordinate follow-up communication and remote appointments with the treating hospital where available. Ongoing local care should be arranged with your own clinicians.
Tell a coordinator what you know so far. We'll listen first, then explain your options.
For urgent symptoms or emergencies, seek immediate medical care locally. WhatsApp is not an emergency service.
If you are reading this, you or someone you love may be facing cancer. I am sorry you are here, and I would like you to know how we work.
Our mission and work philosophy is to support every patient the way we support our family member. Everything else follows from that.
