Development of super specialty services in Head and Neck, Breast, Reconstructive surgery, Thoracic, Gastro-intestinal, urology/gynecology and bone/soft tissue oncology along with the use of laser micro-vascular techniques and multi-modal therapy has increased organ preservation, leading to a remarkable improvement in the quality of life without compromising on cure rates.
