**Apollo Proton Cancer Centre Launches Advanced Liver Cancers Clinic Amid Rising Cases in India**

**CHENNAI, INDIA – July 8, 2025** – The Apollo Proton Cancer Centre (APCC) in Chennai today inaugurated its ‘Advanced Liver Cancers Clinic’ in response to a significant increase in liver cancer cases across India. The dedicated clinic, launched by retired Additional Director-General of Police Radhakrishnan Thiagarajan, aims to provide comprehensive and integrated care for patients diagnosed with primary liver cancers and liver metastases.

India currently accounts for nearly 6% of global liver cancer cases, a figure exacerbated by a rise in hepatitis infections, alcoholic liver disease, obesity, and often, delayed detection. Tamil Nadu is particularly witnessing an increase in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common form of liver cancer, and metastases to the liver.

“The absence of specialized, liver-specific multidisciplinary programmes has often resulted in treatment gaps and late interventions,” stated a press release from APCC.

The newly established clinic boasts a multidisciplinary team of specialists, including medical oncologists, surgical gastroenterologists, hepatobiliary surgeons, radiation oncologists, interventional radiologists, medical geneticists, pathologists, anesthetists, and pain and palliative care experts.

Karan Puri, Chief Executive Officer of Apollo Cancer Centres and APCC, and Sujith Kumar Mullapally, consultant, medical oncology, APCC, were present at the inauguration.

Dr. Mullapally emphasized the clinic’s commitment to “create standardised treatment pathways, conduct prospective research, and explore emerging therapies, while placing the patient at the centre of everything we do.” The APCC hopes the new clinic will help address the growing need for specialized liver cancer treatment in India.
