Asian Institute of Oncology, situated in Sion, is all set to be the new address for excellence in cancer care Mumbai. An initiative by the countrys best-known names in oncology, the centre aims to be an institute of excellence in cancer care, research and education. Currently, the institute has 80 in-patient beds located at Somaiya Ayurvihar-Sion, Mumbai; within the next 36 months there will be a stand-alone comprehensive cancer care unit with over 200 beds in all sub-specialties. The main aim of the Asian Institute of Oncology is to ensure seamless diagnosis and treatment to all its patients. The institute is poised to become the nucleus for cancer care- by offering its services to all categories of patients, and by collaborating with government and private institutions, in India or abroad, which lack the facilities for cancer treatment.
