Cancer care is concentrated at the Mazumdar Shaw Medical Centre at Narayana Health City, established in 2009 with Biocon founder Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw as a 1,400-bed cancer and multispecialty campus, with large bone marrow transplant, paediatric haematology-oncology, radiation and surgical programmes. The campus is also home to Immuneel Therapeutics, whose CAR-T Qartemi was developed and trialled there.
