Quick answer

Quick Answer

What is Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy?

Sentinel lymph node biopsy is a procedure used to identify and remove the first lymph nodes to which cancer cells are most likely to spread from a primary tumour. Lymph fluid from a tumour bed drains along predictable paths. The first node or nodes on that path are the sentinel nodes. Mapping finds them; surgery removes them; pathology examines them. The result is staging information. If the sentinel nodes are clear, a full dissection of the remaining basin may not be required. If they contain cancer, the treating team discusses what that means for further surgery, radiation and systemic therapy. The biopsy does not remove the primary tumour and does not, by itself, treat the cancer.

City context

Why patients consider Delhi NCR for Surgical Oncology

The National Capital Region has the largest cluster of listed mastectomy campuses on GAF Healthcare — dedicated women's cancer floors, multi-speciality flagships and satellite units spread across south Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida and Faridabad. That spread is the practical advantage: a second opinion between a breast unit in Gurgaon and one in south Delhi is a car ride, not a second visa.

Delhi NCR is the only listed metro where GAF Healthcare currently names a consultant whose operating list includes nipple-sparing mastectomy — Dr. Ananya Deori at Medanta – The Medicity in Gurugram. Around that listing sits the region's wider breast and surgical-oncology cluster: women's cancer floors, multi-speciality flagships and satellite units across south Delhi, Gurgaon, Noida and Faridabad. For an operation that often needs a breast or endocrine surgeon and plastic-surgery cover in the same week, that density is the practical reason families start here.

Listed NCR campuses for this pathway include Medanta in Gurgaon, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Indraprastha Apollo, Apollo Athenaa Women's Cancer Centre, Artemis, BLK-Max, the Max Saket campuses, Fortis Escorts, Fortis Shalimar Bagh, Fortis Noida, Paras Gurugram and Sarvodaya Faridabad. Accreditation is shown on each hospital profile as the campus publishes it — this page does not invent plaques.

A women's cancer centre is a different walk from a cardiac-branded campus that also lists surgical oncology. If reconstruction is in view, ask whether the plastic surgery cover is on that floor that week, not whether the brand brochure mentions breast reconstruction somewhere.

Arrival is almost always IGI, then a 40 to 90 minute transfer depending on whether the campus is Gurgaon, south Delhi or Faridabad. Families who land at 2 a.m. should not schedule the pre-operative workup for the same morning.

Medical visa invitation letters from NCR hospitals are issued constantly. Still confirm that the visa length covers a possible radiation course. Attendants typically travel on a companion visa; the desk will say what the hospital letter needs to mention.

Indira Gandhi International has the broadest long-haul connectivity of the five cities, particularly from Africa, Central Asia and the Gulf. The catch is that NCR is not one commute. A quote written at Fortis Memorial Research Institute in Gurgaon and one written at Indraprastha Apollo in south Delhi can mean very different hotel belts. Aerocity, Vasant Kunj and Gurgaon are the usual companion stays. Winter air quality is a genuine issue if you or your attendant has respiratory disease and you remain for radiotherapy.

Indira Gandhi International has the widest long-haul map of the five cities. The tax is geography. A Medanta letter, an Indraprastha Apollo letter and a Faridabad letter are not one hotel belt. Aerocity is convenient to the airport, not to a Gurugram theatre. If reconstruction is staged with an expander, the attendant will make the same campus run repeatedly — pin the hotel to the operating address before you book either.

★★★★★

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
