About Prolife Cancer Centre & Research Institute

A Trusted Cancer Care Hospital in Pune Dedicated to Compassionate, Comprehensive Oncology Care

Prolife Cancer Centre & Research Institute is a dedicated cancer care hospital in Pune, led by Founder and Chief Consultant Dr. Sumit Shah. With 22+ years of experience and 35,000+ patients treated, the centre offers comprehensive cancer care, robotic cancer surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and immunotherapy — all guided by a personalized, evidence-based, and compassionate approach.

Introduction

A cancer diagnosis changes everything — for the patient and for everyone who loves them. At Prolife Cancer Centre & Research Institute, we built our hospital around a simple belief: cancer care should never feel impersonal, rushed, or out of reach. As a specialized cancer treatment hospital in Pune, we exist for one purpose alone — to diagnose, treat, and support patients through every stage of their cancer journey, under one roof.

Founded and led by Dr. Sumit Shah, a surgical oncologist and robotic cancer surgeon with over two decades of clinical experience, Prolife Cancer Centre combines advanced surgical technology with a deeply human approach to care. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment. Every patient who walks through our doors receives a plan built around their specific cancer, stage, and circumstances — reviewed through a multidisciplinary lens and delivered with clarity and compassion.

As a leading cancer hospital in Pune, we invest in the technologies that matter most for outcomes and recovery, including robotic cancer surgery, while working to keep treatment accessible through affordable chemotherapy options. Our goal is not just to treat cancer, but to help patients understand it, face it with confidence, and return to their lives with the best possible quality of life. This is what it means to be a trusted oncology hospital in Pune not a claim we make, but a standard we work toward with every patient we treat.
