Prayagraj is the natural treatment centre for a wide belt of patients: Pratapgarh, Kaushambi, Fatehpur, Bhadohi and Mirzapur in Uttar Pradesh, and Rewa, Satna and Sidhi across the border in Madhya Pradesh. Yet many families still travel for days to big metros for cancer care. ZenHeal Cancer Hospital Prayagraj aims to make complete, coordinated cancer treatment available in the city.
This article explains the services, the radiation oncologist, payment options including Ayushman Bharat, how the counsellor explains cost after your consultation, and practical travel advice for patients from nearby districts.

ZenHeal Cancer Hospital Prayagraj is at 9 Malviya Road, George Town, Prayagraj 211002. George Town is a central, well-known locality, easy to reach from Prayagraj Junction, the civil lines area and the main bus stands. For patients arriving from Rewa or Fatehpur by road, the team can share the map pin on WhatsApp.
Radiotherapy is one of the main treatments for cancers of the head and neck, cervix, breast, lung, oesophagus, brain and rectum. It can be used with the aim of controlling or eliminating the tumour, after surgery to reduce the chance of the disease returning, or to relieve symptoms such as pain or bleeding. The radiotherapy service in Prayagraj is led by radiation oncologist Dr Yashpal Singh.
A typical course involves a planning CT scan, contouring and dose planning by the radiation oncologist and physicist, and then daily sessions on weekdays for a number of weeks. Each session itself takes only minutes.
Chemotherapy is planned according to cancer type and stage. Many cycles are given in day care. Blood tests before each cycle, anti-nausea medicines and nutrition advice help manage side effects.
Surgical removal of tumours, with lymph node removal where needed, is central to treating many solid cancers. Surgery is coordinated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy so that the sequence of treatment is right for the patient.
BMT may be advised for certain blood cancers such as some leukaemias, lymphomas and multiple myeloma. Eligibility is assessed case by case.
PET-CT helps with staging, radiotherapy planning and assessing response. Getting it done in the same hospital avoids extra trips and delays.
A round-the-clock ICU supports patients with infections, complications or post-surgical needs. Palliative care helps with pain, breathlessness, appetite and emotional support, at any stage.
Dr Yashpal Singh is the radiation oncologist at ZenHeal Cancer Hospital Prayagraj. If you have been advised radiotherapy or want an opinion on whether it is suitable, call +91 99307 09000 to book.
Bring: biopsy/histopathology report, IHC report if available, CT/MRI/PET-CT reports and CDs, blood tests, previous treatment records and ID.
ZenHeal Prayagraj accepts Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) and supports cashless treatment under insurance.
Approval depends on the scheme, the package and documentation. Call before you travel to confirm.
Treatment cost depends on the type and stage of cancer and the treatment the doctor recommends. After your OPD consultation, the doctor will explain the plan, and our patient counsellor will guide you through the costs. As a cancer-specific hospital, we keep treatment affordable so everyone can access it. Our NGO supports needy patients so you can complete your treatment.
In-person OPD consultation is free. A video consultation is ₹1,000.
Radiotherapy usually needs daily visits for several weeks. Many families arrange a stay in Prayagraj for the duration. Ask the team about this when you call.
Doctors across eastern Uttar Pradesh and the Vindhya region of Madhya Pradesh see a high number of mouth and throat cancers, linked strongly with tobacco, gutkha and paan use. Cervical cancer and breast cancer are the most common cancers among women, and gall bladder cancer is notably frequent in the Gangetic belt. Lung, oesophageal and blood cancers are also seen regularly.
Many of these cancers are found late because early symptoms are ignored. Seek a check-up without delay if you notice:
These symptoms can have many causes, and most are not cancer. But only proper tests can tell, and earlier diagnosis usually means more treatment options.
Cancer treatment is a team effort that includes the family. Keep all reports in one folder in date order. Note down questions before each consultation. Help the patient eat small, frequent, protein-rich meals. Watch for warning signs during chemotherapy, such as fever above 100°F, bleeding or severe vomiting, and call the hospital at once. Finally, look after the caregiver too: long treatments are tiring, and sharing duties between family members helps.
Cancer outcomes depend on the type, stage, biology of the tumour and the patient's overall health. No one can honestly make promises of a sure cure, and you should be careful of anyone who does. The aim at ZenHeal is to start the right treatment without delay, explain the plan honestly and support the family throughout.
If you have already started treatment elsewhere, or have been given a plan and want to understand it better, you are welcome to bring your reports for a second opinion. Seeking another view is a normal and sensible part of cancer care, and a good team will never discourage it. Share your reports on WhatsApp first so the doctor can review them before you travel, which saves time and avoids an unnecessary trip for families coming from other districts.
