For decades, patients across Tripura and the Northeast had to travel thousands of kilometres to access expert cancer care. That journey — emotionally exhausting, financially draining, and medically risky — is no longer necessary. IOCI Agartala, located at ILS Hospital, Capital Complex Extension, New Secretariat, has brought subspecialty oncology to a region that has needed it desperately.

With an International Tumor Board, advanced radiation technology, and a multidisciplinary team of surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists — IOCI Agartala offers the kind of expert cancer treatment that patients once had to leave the state to find.

Oral Cancer: Fighting the Disease From Every Angle

Oral cancer remains one of the most common cancers across Northeast India, driven largely by tobacco, betel nut, and smokeless tobacco use. Surgery alone is often not enough — which is why Advanced Chemotherapy & Radiation for Oral Cancer plays such a critical role in modern treatment protocols.

At IOCI Agartala, oral cancer patients receive a comprehensive treatment plan that may include surgery, concurrent chemoradiation, and post-treatment rehabilitation including speech and swallowing therapy. Because beating oral cancer is not just about removing the tumour — it is about preserving the ability to speak, eat, and live normally afterward.

Thyroid Cancer: Precision Surgery That Protects Long-Term Health

Thyroid cancer is one of the most treatable cancers when managed correctly from the start. The key is ensuring that the surgery is performed with precision — removing all cancerous tissue while preserving as much normal thyroid function as possible. Minimally Invasive Thyroid Cancer Surgery at IOCI Agartala means smaller incisions, faster recovery, and fewer complications.

But surgery is only the beginning. At IOCI Agartala, the endocrine oncology team ensures every patient receives the complete treatment protocol — including radioiodine therapy when needed, TSH suppression, and lifelong monitoring. Because thyroid cancer, when treated incompletely, has a frustrating tendency to return.

Eye Cancer: When Vision Is on the Line, Expertise Is Non-Negotiable

Eye cancer — whether retinoblastoma in children or intraocular melanoma in adults — is rare enough that most hospitals in the Northeast have never treated it. That lack of experience can have devastating consequences for patients, especially children whose vision and futures are both at stake. Radiation & Targeted Therapy for Eye Cancer in Agartala is now available at IOCI, offering families the subspecialty care they need without leaving Tripura.

Plaque brachytherapy, external beam radiation, intra-arterial chemotherapy for retinoblastoma — these are not experimental treatments. They are standard-of-care protocols that require training, equipment, and experience. At IOCI Agartala, that expertise exists.

Liver Cancer: When the Liver Is Already Struggling, Surgery Must Be Smarter

Liver cancer rarely appears in isolation. It often follows years of hepatitis B or C, cirrhosis, or fatty liver disease — conditions that make both diagnosis and treatment more complex. Surgical treatment for liver cancer requires not just skill in removing the tumour, but deep understanding of liver function, regeneration, and the balance between cancer control and preserving enough healthy liver to sustain life.

At IOCI Agartala, the hepatobiliary team offers surgical resection, ablation therapies, and TACE (Trans-Arterial Chemoembolisation) — all managed by specialists who treat the liver as a whole organ, not just a site for tumour removal.

Gallbladder Cancer: A Disease That Demands Subspecialty Expertise

Gallbladder cancer is alarmingly common across Northeast India, yet experienced HPB surgical oncologists remain rare in the region. Expert in Gallbladder Tumor Surgery & Therapy means more than just performing a cholecystectomy — it means extended resection including portions of the liver and bile ducts when necessary, combined with chemotherapy protocols tailored to each patient's stage.

At IOCI Agartala, patients who have been told their gallbladder cancer is inoperable elsewhere often find a different answer — because the HPB surgical team has the training and experience to handle cases that general surgeons cannot.

Conclusion: The Cancer Centre Northeast India Has Been Waiting For

IOCI Agartala is not just another hospital — it is a genuine centre of oncology excellence, built specifically to serve the underserved population of Northeast India. With an International Tumor Board, TrueBeam radiation technology, and a full roster of subspecialty oncologists — patients across Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, and beyond now have access to expert cancer care close to home. The right treatment is here. The right team is here. And the door is always open.
