Mumbai, May 6, 2026: Reinforcing its commitment to reducing the distance between cancer patients and the care they deserve, M|O|C Cancer Care & Research Centre has announced the launch of its newest facility in Mumbai M|O|C Cancer Care, Chembur. With this addition, the network now operates its 11th centre in Mumbai and 28th across India, marking another significant step toward decentralising cancer care.

The centre will be led by a team of experienced oncologists including Dr. Atul Narayankar, Medical Oncologist; Dr. Udip Maheshwari, Medical Oncologist; and Dr. Gopal Sinhal, Hemato-Oncologist and Bone Marrow Transplant Physician, who will anchor clinical services at the facility.
The launch comes at a crucial time when India’s cancer burden continues to rise, with projections estimating over 15 lakh new cases in 2026. Urban centres like Mumbai are witnessing increasing demand for timely, high-quality cancer treatment often challenged by long travel distances, high costs, and limited access to specialised care.
Strategically located in Chembur, the new facility aims to bridge this gap by offering holistic, patient-centric oncology services. These include expert consultations, chemotherapy, and access to advanced therapies such as targeted therapy and immunotherapy, with a strong focus on supportive care services including nutrition counselling, physiotherapy, and mental health and emotional well-being support. The centre will also provide palliative care services and home-care support for patients who require continued treatment and assistance beyond the hospital setting.
Speaking on the expansion, Dr Atul Narayankar, cancer physician from M|O|C Cancer Care- Chembur said, “With cancer cases rising steadily, it is critical to bring treatment closer to where patients live. The Chembur centre is designed to reduce the physical, emotional, and financial burden on families by ensuring access to high-quality care within their community.”
“Over the years, M|O|C Cancer Care & Research Centre has built a strong reputation for combining clinical excellence with affordability and accessibility”- collectively mentioned by Dr Udip Maheshwari & Dr Gopal Sinhal, oncologist and hemato-oncologist respectively at M|O|C Cancer Care Chembur. Its growing network is focused on addressing key barriers in cancer treatment- ranging from travel constraints and high costs to the need for continuous, standardised care- they added.
The launch of M|O|C Cancer Care Chembur further strengthens the organisation’s vision of building one of India’s most accessible, dependable, and patient-first oncology networks, ensuring that no patient delays or compromises treatment due to logistical challenges.
