HCGMCC Draws Patients From Across The Globe For Safe, Effective & Economical Treatment
Prof Dr Raj Nagarkar, Chief of Surgical Oncology & Robotic services of HCG Manavata Cancer Centre (HCGMCC) – Nashik, has set a new world record by performing a thousand robotic-assisted surgeries within a span of only fifty months or four years. The 1000th surgery, successfully performed last month on a patient with prostate cancer, lasted for three hours, and the patient was discharged within seventy-two hours. Over the years, Dr Nagarkar has performed several complex robotic-assisted procedures including oncology surgeries for prostate, colon, oesophageal, lung and cervical, as well as procedures in hernia repair, gallbladder stones, appendicitis, colorectal, gynaecological, urological, weight loss, thoracic and fundoplication surgeries.
Dr. Raj Nagarkar
“The milestone, while is an achievement, I am just glad that my patients received the care and treatment they deserved. At HCG Manavata Cancer Centre we have the state-of-the-art Versius Robotic System which provides a three-dimensional image that is capable of magnifying up to 10 times. This provides our surgeons to operate with precision, resulting in minimal blood loss and reduced co-lateral damage to tissues eliminating chances of infection. It has revolutionized the minimally invasive surgery contributing to optimized workflows and personalized patient care. The use of robotics is a transformative shift in surgery, promising quicker recovery times, less postoperative pain, and enhanced patient well-being,” says Prof Dr Raj Nagarkar, Managing Director, Chief of Surgical Oncology & Robotic services, HCG Manavata Cancer Centre & Hospitals.
With a reputation for successfully treating even the most complicated cases, HCGMCC is a beacon of hope for even international patients looking for safe, effective and economical treatments.
“Our hospital infrastructure is on par, if not better, with any of the hospitals in the first world. Our presence in a tier 2 city has played a crucial role in establishing HCGMCC as a prominent destination on the medical tourism map. This is attributed not only to our cost-effectiveness but also to our provision of world-class medical facilities. Over the years, we have gained a steady inflow of patients from outside of India and today, they roughly constitute 15 per cent of our total capacity. These patients are mostly from the Middle East, Africa, Canada, Bangladesh and Russia. We have also treated a smaller number of patients from the United Kingdom and the United States,” adds Dr Nagarkar.
The number of new cancer cases in India is rising due to population growth and better diagnoses. In 2020, India ranked third in the world for new cancer cases and is projected to have 2 million new cancer cases each year.
“In India, one in nine people are likely to develop cancer in their lifetime and the incidence of cancer cases is estimated to only increase over the years.
Regular medical check-up for early diagnosis is the cornerstone of successful cancer treatment. While almost half of cancer cases are preventable, the remaining cancer cases that escape early diagnosis need treatment. A large part of the treatment is achieved through surgeries and fortunately, the advancements in robotics are making procedures extremely effective with a success rate of over 95 per cent. Robotic assisted surgery offers consistent, reliable results with decreased blood loss, pain and recovery times as compared to traditional surgical methods,” concludes Dr Nagarkar.
About HCG Manavata Cancer Centre (HCGMCC): –
Established in 2007 by Dr Raj Nagarkar, HCGMCC – Nashik is Central India’s first NABH-accredited facility.

India’s leading Pharma Company in the oral healthcare segment – ICPA Health Products Ltd (ICPA) has launched its latest oral healthcare product – Remin. This cutting-edge bioactive glass toothpaste, enriched with 5 per cent Calcium Sodium Phosphosilicate (CSPS), presents a breakthrough in dental care. Remin is specially formulated to address a spectrum of clinical applications, including active re-mineralization and reversal of surface damage caused by acidic dietary habits. The product’s key role lies in actively preventing cavities by re-mineralizing early-stage white spots that precede cavity formation, particularly evident in individuals undergoing orthodontic treatment or those susceptible to cavities. Available in convenient 50g and 100g packs, Remin features a foaming formula with a delightful flavour profile, promising a refreshing experience that encourages consistent use and ensures optimal outcomes.
In the current era marked by diets high in acidic and sugary foods, there’s a notable rise in the risk of damage to tooth surfaces. This emphasizes the necessity to repair weakened tooth surfaces and protect them from daily mineral loss caused by frequent exposure to acids. Remin stands out due to its unique selling proposition (USP) – CSPS. When in contact with saliva during brushing, CSPS undergoes a dynamic reaction, releasing ions from the toothpaste. This process results in the creation of a strong mineral layer on tooth surfaces, offering resilience against acid attacks.
Moreover, Remin effectively creates a stable seal on exposed dentine surfaces, offering prolonged relief from dentinal hypersensitivity by preventing recurrent attacks. It is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing gastric acid reflux, safeguarding tooth surfaces from acid erosion. In the realm of cosmetic dentistry, Remin proves advantageous by fortifying tooth surfaces both before and after tooth-whitening procedures.
The product will be available across all leading pharmacies in the country as well as through popular e-pharmacies.

India’s leading Pharma Company in the oral healthcare segment – ICPA Health Products Ltd (ICPA) hosted its latest Clinical Series episode featuring Dr Sanjay Arora, MDS (Restorative Dentist) on ‘Dentist, the physician: ALPDC Technique – An introduction to 5 seconds cure’. The 27th episode of the series introduced ALPDC Technique: Arora’s Lateral Pterygoid Dystonia Correction Technique to dentists to enable them to broaden their roles as physicians in their daily practice. The session aimed to make dentists aware that they can cure the body, with focus on Occluding and its relation to body diseases and Temporomandibular disorders (TMD).
The episode focused on shedding light on the concept of ‘Occluding Disorders’, presenting compelling data that suggests a correlation between disturbed occlusion and various chronic body diseases. Dr Arora advocated that the root cause lies in the process of occluding, rather than the jaw joint or Occlusion. By understanding and addressing the dynamic process of ‘Occluding’, dentists can step into the realm of being true physicians.
The ALPDC Technique was highlighted as a powerful potential solution to correct chronic body diseases in as little as five seconds for most patients, with potential complete disease reversal within fifteen minutes to three days. The technique specifically focuses on the final stage of the occluding cycle, where dentists can identify and correct the inclines of offending occluding surfaces. Through ‘Engineered Occluding’, heavy bone-crushing forces during a bite are dissipated so that there is no tissue trauma.
The episode showcased how dentists can elevate their roles and contribute significantly to their patient’s overall health. By expanding their focus to ‘Occluding’ and understanding its connection to various body diseases and TMD, dentists can truly become physicians in their practice, offering a 5-second cure through the ALPDC Technique.
For the benefit of dentists who may have missed out, the session is available across ICPA’s various social media platforms, including YouTube, Facebook and LinkedIn.
‘ICPA Clinical Series’ is an initiative to address specific clinical challenges dentists face in their everyday practice. Themed ‘Each Episode – One Clinical Challenge’, the series is moderated by ICPA’s Head of Research & Innovations – Dr Rajeev Chitguppi.

ICPA Health Products Ltd ( ICPA) , India’s leading Pharma Company in the oral healthcare segment, as part of its CSR activity has donated the world’s most advanced Laparoscopy system costing Rs.1 Cr to KEM Hospital (KEMH). This first-of-its-kind technology – the Elite Viscera Laparoscopic system by Olympus is designed to meet the needs of the Gastroenterology Department; Mr Rohit Mehta, Founder & Managing Director of ICPA inaugurated the system in the presence of Dr Chetan Kantharia, head of the Gastroenterology Department of KEMH. With this development, KEMH becomes the first public hospital in India to own the Laparoscopy system.
The latest equipment is expected to decrease the overall surgery time and immensely benefit KEMH’s gastrointestinal surgery department which performs on average over 400 laparoscopic surgeries per year.
“I have had the privilege of closely collaborating with KEMH for nearly a decade, witnessing first-hand the unwavering dedication, tireless efforts, and immense patient workload of its doctors. When I learnt about the requirement from the doctors here, our CSR team at ICPA got in touch with the company that manufactures the system and sourced it. KEMH is one of the most trusted institutions in the world and patients from across the country come here for treatment. We hope that our small contribution will make a difference to both, people’s lives and in reducing the burden on doctors here,” says Mr Rohit Mehta.
The laparoscopy system assists doctors in performing laparoscopic surgeries involving colorectal malignancy cases, liver resection for malignancy of the liver, upper gastrointestinal malignancy, achalasia cardia surgery and splenectomy for haematological disorders, among others.
“The ultra-advanced laparoscopic system will enable us to perform complex supra-major surgeries with ease and safety and decrease the overall surgery time. The system helps differentiate organs and fat. Surgeries related to the large intestine, liver, pancreas and spleen can be done with ease. When it comes to precision, it will be double what we are using now,” concludes Dr Chetan Kantharia.
In the past, ICPA has donated four 2-D echo machines to KEM Hospital for its cardiac and ophthalmic departments, an electrosurgical unit for its Gastrointestinal (GI) department, endoscopy equipment to general surgery department, nasal endoscopes machine to the ENT department and a fully automated BIO chemistry analyser to the Nephrology department. Availability of these machines has eased treatment for numerous patients at the hospital.
