Cancer, a life-threatening deadly disease spells terror and worry for people who are diagnosed with it. Uncertainty and prolonged cancer treatments are a nightmare for the patient as well as their family.
However, things are changing for the good. With the help of scientific advancement in the field of medicine especially cancer, newer treatments are being invented which is positively bringing about a change in ways cancer is being treated nowadays.
Dr. Dinesh MG is a laparoscopic onco surgeon who performs advanced laparoscopic cancer surgeries such as minimal access oncologic surgery, as well as complex open cancer surgeries.
Every cancer treatment plan starts with the type and stage of cancer. A biopsy confirms the cancer diagnosis, and scans show where the tumour is and whether it has spread. Treatment options include surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and palliative care, often used together.
Dr. Dinesh MG is a surgical oncologist. He plans and performs cancer surgery and works with medical oncologists and radiation oncologists at the hospital’s multidisciplinary tumour board, so that each patient gets one coordinated plan.

Minimally invasive procedures use advanced technologies to avoid the need for the large incisions used in traditional open surgery. The development of these techniques has been an important advance for the benefit of patients and is useful for the treatment of many conditions. “Laparoscopic surgery” is a specific type of minimally invasive surgery, but the term is sometimes used to refer to minimally invasive surgery in general.
Minimally invasive surgery is any surgical procedure that is less invasive than open surgery used for the same purpose. Minimally invasive procedures typically involve the use of laparoscopes and remote control manipulation of instruments with indirect observation of the surgical field through an endoscope (Endoscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic tool, used to view the inside of organs, inspect for abnormalities and take biopsies).
Laparoscopy – surgery done through one or more small incisions, using small tubes and tiny cameras and surgical instruments – was one of the first types of minimally invasive surgery.
Another type of minimally invasive surgery is robotic surgery. It provides a magnified, 3-D view of the surgical site and helps the surgeon operate with precision, flexibility and control.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing minimally invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Cervical cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the cells of the cervix, i.e., the lower part of the uterus that connects to the vagina. Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. The cervix is made of two parts and is covered with two different types of cells. The place where these two cell types meet in the cervix is called the transformation zone. Most cervical cancers begin in the cells in the transformation zone.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Cervical cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Lung cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the lungs. Lung cancer begins in the lungs and may spread to lymph nodes or other organs in the body, such as the brain. When a person has lung cancer, they have abnormal cells that cluster together to form a tumor. Unlike normal cells, cancer cells grow without order or control, destroying the healthy lung tissue around them. These types of tumors are called malignant tumors. When the cancer cells spread, they prevent organs of the body from functioning properly.
What causes lung cancer?
Anyone can get lung cancer. Lung cancer happens when cells in the lung mutate or change. Various factors can cause this mutation (a permanent change in the DNA sequence of a gene) to happen. Most often, this change in lung cells happens when people breathe in dangerous, toxic substances.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Lung cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Stomach cancer, also called gastric cancer, starts in the stomach. Stomach cancer usually begins in the mucus-producing cells that line the stomach. This type of cancer is called adenocarcinoma. Cancers starting in different sections of the stomach may cause different symptoms and tend to have different outcomes. The cancer’s location can also affect the treatment options.
What causes stomach cancer?
Stomach cancer occurs when normally healthy cells within the upper digestive system become cancerous and grow out of control, forming a tumor. This process happens slowly. Stomach cancer tends to develop over many years.
Stomach cancer develops when cells in the lining of the stomach grow and divide in an abnormal way. Tumors can begin anywhere in the stomach, although most start in the glandular tissue found on the stomach’s inner surface (mucosa). This type of cancer is called adenocarcinoma of the stomach (also known as gastric cancer).
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Stomach cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Cancer starts when cells in the body start to grow out of control. Rectal cancer is a cancer that starts in the colon or the rectum. This cancer can also be named as colon cancer, depending on where they start. Most colorectal cancers start as a growth on the inner lining of the colon or rectum. These growths are called polyps.
How rectal cancer spreads?
If cancer forms in a polyp, it can grow into the wall of the colon or rectum over time. The wall of the colon and rectum is made up of many layers. Rectal cancer starts in the innermost layer (the mucosa) and can grow outward through some or all of the other layers. The stage (extent of spread) of a colorectal cancer depends on how deeply it grows into the wall and if it has spread outside the colon or rectum. Bowel cancer may also be called colon cancer or rectal cancer, depending on where the cancer is located and begins.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Rectal cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Pancreatic cancer is a type of cancer that starts in the pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancerous) cells form in the tissues of the pancreas. The pancreas is a gland located behind the stomach and in front of the spine. Pancreatic cancer happens when uncontrolled cell growth begins in a part of the pancreas. Tumors develop, and these interfere with the way the pancreas works.
How pancreatic cancer occurs?
Pancreatic Cancer occurs when damaged cells grow in an uncontrolled way. When the genetic materials that contain instructions for all biochemical processes within the pancreas are damaged or mutated, cancer cells are allowed to replicate. Pancreatic Cancer often starts within the cells of the pancreatic ducts, and these then spread to the rest of the pancreas.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Pancreatic cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Healthy cells grow and divide in an orderly way to keep your body functioning normally. But when a cell’s DNA is damaged and becomes cancerous, cells continue to divide – even when new cells aren’t needed. As the cells accumulate, they form a tumor. With time, the cancer cells can grow to invade and destroy normal tissue nearby. Colon cancer is a type of cancer that develops when tumorous growths develop in the large intestine. Over time some of these polyps can become colon cancers. Colon cancer is sometimes called colorectal cancer, which is a term that combines colon cancer and rectal cancer, which begins in the rectum.
How does colon cancer start?
In general, colon cancer begins when healthy cells in the colon develop changes (mutations) in their DNA. A cell’s DNA contains a set of instructions that tell a cell what to do. It usually begins as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inside of the colon. Most colon cancers begin as benign polyps. These are either flat or knob-like growths on the lining of the large intestine. While some polyps remain benign (non-cancerous), some may become malignant (cancerous) over time.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Colon cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Breast cancer starts when cells in the breast begin to grow out of control. The tumor is malignant (cancer) if the cells can grow into (invade) surrounding tissues or spread (metastasize) to distant areas of the body. Breast cancer occurs almost entirely in women, but men can get breast cancer, too. Breast cancers can start from different parts of the breast. Most breast cancers begin in the ducts that carry milk to the nipple (ductal cancers). Some start in the glands that make breast milk (lobular cancers). Breast cancer can spread when the cancer cells get into the blood or lymph system and are carried to other parts of the body. It’s also important to understand that most breast lumps are benign and not cancer (malignant). Non-cancerous breast tumors are abnormal growths, but they do not spread outside of the breast and they are not life threatening.
How breast cancer starts?
Changes or mutations in DNA can cause normal breast cells to become cancer. Certain DNA changes are passed on from parents (inherited) and can greatly increase your risk for breast cancer. Other lifestyle-related risk factors can increase your chance of developing breast cancer.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Breast cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Uterus cancer is the most common cancer occurring in a woman’s reproductive system. Uterine cancer begins when healthy cells in the uterus change and grow out of control, forming a mass called a tumor. A tumor can be cancerous or benign. A cancerous tumor is malignant, meaning it can grow and spread to other parts of the body. A benign tumor can grow but generally will not spread into other tissues.
Cancer of the uterus begins from abnormal cells in the lining of the uterus (endometrium), the muscle tissue (myometrium), or the connective tissue supporting the endometrium (stroma).
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Uterus cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Kidney cancer also called renal cancer is a cancer that starts in the kidneys. Almost all kidney cancers first appear in the lining of tiny tubes (tubules) in the kidney. This type of kidney cancer is called renal cell carcinoma.
What causes kidney cancer?
Cancers can be caused by DNA mutations (changes) that turn on oncogenes or turn off tumor suppressor genes, resulting in cells growing out of control. Changes in many different genes are usually needed to cause kidney cancer.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Kidney cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
The female reproductive system consists of two ovaries, one present on each side of the uterus. Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the ovaries. Functionally, ovaries produce ovum (eggs) and also Regulate the woman’s reproductive cycle by producing oestrogen and progesterone. Ovaries are situated in the pelvis and hence when ovarian cancer develops, it goes undetected until later stages.
What causes ovarian cancer?
People with two or more close relatives with ovarian cancer has an increased risk of disease. Ovarian cancer commonly occurs in the elderly woman beyond their reproductive age-group. Few patients with breast cancer gene I and II also show a higher risk of ovarian cancer. long-term high dose of oestrogen hormone therapy also shows an increased risk of ovarian cancer.

Bladder cancer develops when the cells in bladder tissue start to divide uncontrollably. Rather than grow and divide in an orderly way, these cells develop mutations that cause them to grow out of control and not die. These abnormal cells form a tumor. Bladder cancer most often begins in the cells (urothelial cells) that line the inside of your bladder – the hollow, muscular organ in your lower abdomen that stores urine.
What causes bladder cancer?
Certain changes in the DNA inside normal bladder cells can make them grow abnormally and form cancers. DNA is the chemical in our cells that makes up our genes, which control how our cells function.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Bladder cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Liver cancer, also known as hepatocellular cancer, is a cancer that originates in the liver itself. Liver cancer occurs when abnormal cells within the liver grow in an uncontrolled way. A tumor can be cancerous or benign. A cancerous tumor is malignant, meaning it can grow and spread to other parts of the body.
What causes liver cancer?
Liver cancer happens when liver cells develop changes (mutations) in their DNA. A cell’s DNA is the material that provides instructions for every chemical process in your body. DNA mutations cause changes in these instructions. One result is that cells may begin to grow out of control and eventually form a tumor – a mass of cancerous cells.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Liver treatment cancer / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Cells in nearly any part of the body can become cancer cells and can then spread to other areas of the body. Prostate cancer is cancer that occurs in the prostate – a small walnut-shaped gland in men that produces the seminal fluid that nourishes and transports sperm. Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in men. Usually prostate cancer grows slowly and is initially confined to the prostate gland, where it may not cause serious harm. Prostate cancer begins when cells in the prostate gland start to grow out of control.
What causes prostate cancer?
On a basic level, prostate cancer is caused by changes in the DNA of a normal prostate cell. DNA is the chemical in our cells that makes up our genes, which control how our cells function. Cancer can be caused by DNA mutations (or other types of changes) that keep oncogenes turned on, or that turn off tumor suppressor genes. These types of gene changes can lead to cells growing out of control. DNA changes can either be inherited from a parent or can be acquired during a person’s lifetime

Penile cancer, or cancer of the penis, is when cells grow out of control on or in a man’s penis. It often starts in skin cells and can work its way inside. It occurs when normally healthy cells in the penis become cancerous and begin to grow out of control, forming a tumor.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Penile cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Skin cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the skin. Early detection of skin cancer gives you the greatest chance for successful skin cancer treatment. Skin cancer develops when one of the three types of cells that make up your skin reproduce abnormally. As they grow and divide without stopping, they can metastasize. This means they spread to other places in your body through your lymphatic system.
What Causes It?
Skin cancer is the out-of-control growth of abnormal cells in the epidermis, the outermost skin layer, caused by unrepaired DNA damage that triggers mutations. These mutations lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors. The main types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), melanoma and Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Skin cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Duodenal cancer is a rare form of cancer in the gastrointestinal tract. Duodenal cancer, though rare, can affect digestive process and prevent your body from absorbing necessary minerals needed to function properly. When cancer cells begin to form in the duodenum, tumors can block food from passing through the digestive tract.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Duodenal cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore)
Tumors are masses of cells. They can be benign or malignant. Mediastinal tumors are growths that form in the area of the chest that separates the lungs. This area, called the mediastinum, is surrounded by the breastbone in front, the spine in back, and the lungs on each side. In general, mediastinal tumors are rare. Mediastinal tumors are usually diagnosed in older age people, but they can develop at any age.
Tumors of mediastinal origin include tumors from the thymus, nerves, lymphatic tissue such as lymph nodes, connective tissue or germ cells.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Mediastinal cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), or islet cell tumors, are a type of cancer that starts in the pancreas. (Cancer starts when cells in the body begin to grow out of control. Pancreatic NETs are a less common type of pancreatic cancer. Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors start in neuroendocrine cells, a special kind of cell found in the pancreas. Neuroendocrine cells are also found in other areas of the body, but only cancers that form from neuroendocrine cells in the pancreas are called pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Neuroendocrine tumors start in the endocrine cells of the pancreas.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Neuroendocrine cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Oesophageal cancer is a type of cancer affecting the oesophagus (gullet) – the long tube that carries food from the throat to the stomach. It starts in the inner layer (the mucosa) and grows outward (through the submucosa and the muscle layer).
What causes oesophageal cancer?
Some risk factors may cause oesophageal cancer by damaging the DNA in cells that line the inside of the oesophagus. Long-term irritation of the lining of the oesophagus, as happens with reflux, Barrett’s oesophagus, achalasia, Plummer-Vinson syndrome, or scarring from swallowing lye, may also lead to DNA damage. The DNA of oesophageal cancer cells often shows changes in many different genes.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Oesophageal cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Cholangiocarcinoma is a form of cancer that forms in the bile ducts that carry the digestive fluid bile. Bile ducts connect your liver to your gallbladder and to your small intestine. This condition, also known as bile duct cancer, is not a common form of cancer. This occurs mostly in older people, though it can occur at any age.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing Cholangiocarcinoma cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Periampullary carcinoma is a widely used term to define a heterogeneous group of neoplasms arising from the head of the pancreas, the distal common bile duct and the duodenum.
Dr. Dinesh MG and team are committed to providing periampullary carcinoma cancer treatment / invasive surgery or minimal access surgery (in Bangalore).
Bone tumors develop when cells within a bone divide uncontrollably, forming a lump or mass of abnormal tissue. Most bone tumors are not cancerous (benign). Benign tumors are usually not life-threatening and, in most cases, will not spread to other parts of the body. Bone cancer destroys normal bone tissue. It may start in the bone or spread to other parts of the body (called metastasis).
