Our Founder, Dr. Mohan Menon

A career built one patient at a time.

From a doctor and a dedicated team who intend to see you through.

Dr. Mohan Menon founded DMMCC on a simple conviction: that a cancer diagnosis should be met with both clinical rigor and genuine connection — the kind that only comes from a doctor who intends to see you through the whole journey, not just the next appointment.

Over 26+ years of practice, Dr. Menon has treated patients across the US and India, managing a wide spectrum of malignancies by combining rigorous, protocol-driven treatment with compassionate care tailored to each individual.

He remains personally involved in every case the center takes on.

Signature Expertise

Managing side effects well is often what determines whether a patient can complete treatment. It's an area Dr. Menon has built particular expertise in — helping patients complete the treatment with fewer setbacks and less unnecessary suffering along the way.

#StageWhat Happens

2 Registration & Arrival
  • Patient checks in at the center on treatment day.
  • Verify identification, complete administrative paperwork, and give informed consent for treatment.
3 Vital Signs & Nursing Assessment
  • Measure weight (critical for exact drug dosing), temperature, pulse, and blood pressure.
  • Medical team assesses current physical state and reports any new symptoms.
4 Drug Preparation
  • Cleanroom preparation and sterile mixing of the chemotherapy regimen.
5 Vascular Access Establishment
  • Access patient's central line/port-a-cath or insert a peripheral IV line.
  • Verify line patency and flush with saline solution.
6 Chemotherapy Infusion
  • Administer pre-medications (e.g., anti-nausea, anti-inflammatory drugs).
  • Infuse chemotherapy drugs while monitoring continuously for adverse reactions.
7 Post-Infusion Observation & Care
  • Short monitoring period to ensure stability.
  • Review discharge instructions, home medications, and side effect management strategies.
8 Follow-up & Next Cycle Scheduling

  • Provide 24/7 emergency contact details for home support.

Some helpful pointers prior to coming in for your treatment appointment

  1. Sleep well the night before.
  2. Eat a light breakfast.
  3. Hydrate yourself well.
  4. Take necessary premedications if prescribed.
  5. Wear loose, comfortable clothing.
  6. Bring a book, game, or anything you enjoy.

After your treatment

Managing Side Effects

Every patient responds differently to treatment. Track how you feel each day, take your prescribed anti-nausea and comfort medications on schedule, and don't wait for a side effect to worsen before reaching out — early management is what keeps treatment on track.

Infection Prevention

Wash hands frequently with soap and warm water. Avoid crowded spaces and people with contagious illnesses, as your white blood cell count will drop.

Rest & Nutrition

Eat 5–6 small, mild meals throughout the day instead of 3 large ones to keep nausea away. Drink 8–12 cups of fluids daily to flush remaining toxins.

Managing Fatigue

Rest when tired, but stay lightly active with short walks. Pace activities across the day rather than pushing through in one go.

Skin & Mouth Care

Use a soft toothbrush and rinse with warm salt water. Moisturize skin daily and avoid direct sun exposure.

Medication Management

Take anti-nausea and other prescribed medications exactly as directed. Keep a simple log of what's taken and when, to share at the next visit.

When to call us

Don't wait these out — call immediately
  • Fever above 100.4°F (38°C), or chills
  • Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • Uncontrolled vomiting or diarrhea
  • Unusual bleeding or bruising
  • Redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge at the IV or port site
  • Any symptom that feels severe, sudden, or unusual for you
DMMCC's care team is reachable 24/7 at +91 82914 75556 for exactly these situations. When in doubt, call — don't wait for the next scheduled visit.
Cancer Center in Khar, Mumbai

World-class cancer care in a peaceful environment.

Founded by an American Board Certified Medical Oncologist with 26+ years of global experience.

The Dr. Mohan Menon Cancer Center is a thoughtfully designed cancer center in Khar, founded to offer more than just medical treatment — it offers a calm, professional space where healing can begin. This cancer care center in Khar specializes in outpatient therapies such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, based on the latest global advances in cancer care.

Treatments we offer

01

Chemotherapy

Uses anti-cancer drugs to destroy rapidly dividing cells. Often given in cycles, chemotherapy can be used alone or in combination with other therapies depending on the cancer type and stage.

02

Immunotherapy

Helps the immune system recognize and attack cancer cells. Suitable for certain cancers, this treatment strengthens the body's natural defenses using drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors.

03

Targeted Therapy

Focuses on specific genes, proteins, or tissue environments that contribute to cancer growth. Often used in cancers with identifiable mutations, targeted therapy works differently from standard chemotherapy.

04

Precision Oncology

A personalized approach to cancer treatment that analyzes genetic and molecular changes in tumors to guide therapy selection. This helps deliver more targeted, effective care tailored to each patient.

05

Second Opinions & Clinical Consultations

Dr. Mohan Menon provides in-depth consultations that include a thorough review of reports and treatment history. This allows patients to explore additional options or validate current plans before proceeding.

06

Online Consultations

Dr. Menon's virtual consultations allow patients to receive expert input from anywhere — ideal for second opinions, pre-treatment discussions, or when travel is challenging.

07

Hormonal Therapy

Blocks or lowers hormones that fuel certain cancers, helping slow or stop cancer growth by reducing hormone levels or preventing them from acting on cancer cells.

Cancers we treat

Breast Cancer
Lung Cancer
Colorectal Cancer
Prostate Cancer
Gastric & Stomach Cancer
Pancreatic Cancer
Liver Cancer
Kidney & Renal Cancer
Ovarian Cancer
Head & Neck Cancer
Thyroid Cancer
Lymphoma
Leukemia
Multiple Myeloma
Sarcoma

Continuity, not hand-offs

Dr. Menon and the same core team follow each patient from first consultation through every cycle of treatment — so care never restarts with a stranger.

Transparency, always

Every consent, every cost, and every step of a treatment plan is explained plainly before it happens — not disclosed after the fact.

Family included

Cancer is rarely faced alone. DMMCC treats the patient's family as part of the care team, not visitors to be managed.

Honestly, I don’t think only 5 stars justify it. I came here for my father. Dr. Mohan Menon is truly an outstanding oncologist. Not only does he have immense expertise and experience, but he also has a very patient-focused approach, a calm nature, and incredible patience. He explains treatments clearly and makes patients feel comfortable and confident throughout their care. The biggest highlight is his daycare center, which is bright, colorful and thoughtfully designed, creating a positive environment for patients and families.

Our experience at the Dr. Mohan Menon Cancer Center has truly been wonderful. Like most families, we were hesitant and anxious about starting chemotherapy. However, all our fears were put to rest after meeting Dr. Mohan Menon and his exceptional team. They took the time to explain the entire treatment process in a very clear and reassuring manner, patiently answered all our questions, and supported us at every step of the journey. Every member of the staff has been extremely kind, compassionate and supportive.

Dr. Menon treated my wife in the final months of her life from August 2003 to March 2004. He is one of the finest physicians I have ever met. Highly competent, superbly trained, compassionate and, as important, he is a good, decent man. My family is forever grateful for the care he gave her. He taught us that how you die is as important as how you live. Thank you, Dr. M.

I write this on behalf of a very dear person. She is being treated by Dr. Mohan Menon and says this about him—besides being a highly qualified and experienced doctor, he is considerate of the feelings of his patients and their worrying relatives too, always answering their questions and doubts with clarity and patience. Dr. Menon’s long record of treating patients successfully, coupled with his calm, quiet demeanor, infuses confidence in his patients. He discusses the possible treatment options with them, puts them at ease and is with them every step of the healing journey.
