About Mahavir Cancer Institute and Research Centre
Mahavir Cancer Institute and Research Centre is one of eastern India's leading dedicated oncology hospitals, located in Phulwari Sharif, Patna, Bihar. The institute was established to bridge the critical gap in cancer care access for the large population of Bihar, Jharkhand, and the eastern region, where specialized oncology facilities have historically been limited.
The institute provides comprehensive cancer diagnosis, treatment, and palliative care, combining surgical oncology, medical oncology, and radiation therapy under one roof. It serves as a referral centre for cancer patients from Bihar, Jharkhand, eastern Uttar Pradesh, and Nepal who previously had to travel to Delhi, Kolkata, or other distant cities for advanced cancer care.
Oncology Specialties
Mahavir Cancer Institute provides surgical oncology (head and neck, breast, gastrointestinal, gynaecological, and urological cancers), medical oncology with inpatient and day-care chemotherapy, radiation oncology with external beam and brachytherapy, haematology and bone marrow transplantation, pathology and molecular diagnostics, nuclear medicine (for staging and thyroid cancer treatment), palliative care and pain management, and cancer rehabilitation services.
Facilities and Infrastructure
The institute is equipped with modern radiation therapy technology including linear accelerators for IMRT and IGRT, brachytherapy suites, a nuclear medicine department with gamma camera facilities, dedicated surgical oncology operation theatres, a bone marrow transplant unit, a day care chemotherapy centre, a comprehensive pathology and molecular diagnostics laboratory, and a 24-hour cancer emergency service.
International Patient Services
Mahavir Cancer Institute serves patients from Nepal who find Patna geographically more accessible than distant metros. Patna's Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport offers connections to Delhi, Kolkata, and Mumbai. The institute provides affordable cancer treatment options including chemotherapy and surgery at costs significantly lower than major metro hospitals, making it an accessible choice for patients from economically constrained backgrounds.
