"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all of your thoughts break their bonds, your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali

Our core focus at Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SSCHRC) is to serve, treat and rehabilitate patients suffering from cancer.

Laughter, joy, and hope—these are the real ingredients of a healthy life. We all know that good nutrition is the foundation of well-being, especially for those we cherish most.
At Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, we believe that education is the most powerful tool in the fight for a healthier future. This belief came to life during National Nutrition Week 2025, where our passionate first-year B.Sc. Nursing students of Sri Shankara College of Nursing stepped up to create a powerful awareness campaign. The 3-day event, with its theme "Eat Right for a Better Life," wasn't just about lectures; it was a vibrant, hands-on exploration of the power of food. On day one, students prepared delicious and nutritious meals specifically tailored for maternal and lactating mothers, showcasing how simple, thoughtful choices can nourish both mother and child. From a hearty oats Puttu for breakfast to a protein-packed dinner of paneer parathas and sabji, they brought science to the plate. Day two saw them meticulously crafting "My Plate" and "Food Pyramid" models, turning abstract nutritional guidelines into tangible, easy-to-understand visual guides. The final day was a feast of knowledge and flavour, focusing on meals for toddlers and school-going children, with creations like oats-banana pancakes and soya wheat noodles proving that healthy eating can be both simple and delicious.
This initiative, guided by our esteemed faculty - respected Principal of Sri Shankara College of Nursing, Dr. Lakshmi A., Professor Riya Mathew and Department of Nutrition and Dietetics, Sri shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, was more than a series of events; it was a testament to our commitment to a holistic approach to health. Our students are not just learning to treat illness; they are becoming ambassadors of wellness, equipped to guide families toward a healthier, more vibrant life. By reducing sugar, salt, and oil in their creations, they championed small changes that lead to monumental benefits.
Your journey to a healthier life starts here, with knowledge and support from our expert team. We are not just a hospital; we are your partners in wellness, dedicated to guiding you and your loved ones toward a brighter, healthier tomorrow.

In the hallowed halls of Sri Shankara Cancer Hospital and Research Centre, a silent, powerful revolution is underway, driven by the unwavering commitment of its brilliant minds. This is the story of two of our oncologists, Dr. Sreeram M.P. and Dr. Karthik N. Rao, whose tireless pursuit of knowledge has now echoed through the prestigious pages of Head and Neck Pathology, a journal with an impressive impact factor of 4.1.

Their pioneering work delves deep into the very heart of the fight against Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), a relentless foe. They have shed new light on the critical issue of cervical lymph node metastasis, a factor that critically impacts a patient's journey. Their research meticulously explores the potential of Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) as a minimally invasive tool to detect occult disease, charting a course towards a future where treatment is not only effective but also less burdensome on the patient.

With the authoritative voice of their publication, they champion the integration of emerging tools—from immunohistochemistry to AI and radiomics—to improve diagnostic precision. More importantly, their work advocates for a standardized approach to minimal nodal disease, a crucial step toward refining treatment decisions and, ultimately, reducing the risk of overtreatment. Their findings are a beacon of hope, promising a more precise, personalized, and compassionate approach to cancer care. It's a powerful narrative of compassion meeting cutting-edge science, where every discovery is made with a patient's well-being at its core.
