Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute and Research Centre is a visionary project of Indraprastha Cancer Society and Research Centre, a not-for-profit public society, aimed at providing the best of cancer care to those who need it. The premier institute was inaugurated by the then President of India, Dr. Shankar Dayal Sharma in 1996. The institute has treated lakhs of patients and will continually strive to treat and eliminate cancer, to provide an evidence-based high quality and focused approach to cancer care. RGCI & RC is responsive to the needs of patients and their families and as a part of an ongoing modernization program we are continually upgrading our services and equipment.

This latest technology targets cancer cells in tumors, even in moving organs (lungs, prostate and kidney) with amazing precision while sparing the surrounding normal healthy tissues. Our True Beam system offers high precision treatments that can be delivered in a very short time.
