MNJ Institute of Oncology and Regional Cancer Center

MNJ Institute of Oncology & Regional Cancer Centre is a premier government-run tertiary cancer care center in Hyderabad, established in 1955 as the Radium Institute and later designated as a Regional Cancer Centre in 1996. The institute has evolved into a comprehensive oncology facility providing integrated services including diagnosis, surgical oncology, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and palliative care under one roof. Serving as a major referral center for Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, and neighboring regions, it caters to a large patient population, registering over 10,000 new cancer cases annually and conducting extensive diagnostic and treatment procedures. With multiple specialized departments such as medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, along with advanced diagnostic and research capabilities, the institute plays a crucial role in cancer treatment, education, and public health outreach. It is particularly significant for its commitment to accessible healthcare, offering subsidized or free treatment to economically disadvantaged patients, thereby strengthening the public oncology infrastructure in India.
