Official websiteCommon questions before travelling for treatment in India
These answers explain coordination, not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Your specialist determines clinical care after assessment.
Does every cancer diagnosis require surgery?
Not necessarily. Options depend on the cancer type, stage and specialist assessment and may include surgery, medicines or radiotherapy. The treating clinicians determine the plan.
What medical reports should I share first?
Send existing medical reports and scans, a brief case history, and your current medicine list if available. Do not arrange new tests based on the website alone; the specialist advises what is needed.
Can I book an operation automatically online?
No. Contact our team directly by WhatsApp or phone. We coordinate specialist review and discuss written hospital estimates and arrangements; the website does not automatically book treatment.
How do airport reception and interpretation work?
After the services and arrival details are agreed, our team can coordinate Delhi airport reception, local assistance and medical interpretation as agreed. The hospital confirms treatment details and charges.
How does the 50% discount on cancer medicines work?
With a prescription from your treating oncologist in India, Blue Crescent supplies your prescribed oncology medicines at a 50% discount with official customs invoices, alongside 10% off surgical procedures.
Should I bring my pathology slides or paraffin blocks to India?
Yes. Oncologists in India frequently review existing paraffin blocks or glass slides (slide review / IHC) to confirm the exact tumor subtype before starting treatment.
