Oncologist

Screening finds cancers at the stage where cure rates are highest. We build a personal screening calendar from your age, family history and habits, and just as importantly, we don't order tests that evidence doesn't support.

Regimens are planned and monitored by our oncologist, with infusions administered at well-equipped partner day-care centres. Between cycles, blood counts, nausea, and every 'is this expected?' worry are handled here, close to home.

Cancer pain is treatable in the vast majority of patients using the WHO ladder approach, from simple analgesics to opioids used properly and safely. Nobody should endure pain out of fear of 'strong medicines'.

Bring every report, slide and scan. We re-examine the diagnosis, staging and plan against current international guidelines. Most second opinions confirm the original plan, which itself is valuable peace of mind. When we'd do something differently, you'll know exactly why.

Tumor markers are excellent for monitoring known cancers, but poor as general screening, a raised value rarely means cancer, and a normal one doesn't exclude it. We use them where they help and explain them without alarm.

Palliative care isn't 'giving up', it runs alongside active treatment and measurably improves quality of life. We coordinate home nursing, symptom control and family counselling with palliative services across Pune.

Finishing treatment is a beginning, not just an end. A written survivorship plan covers your surveillance scan-and-test calendar, managing late effects, fertility and heart health, and support for the anxiety every scan season brings.

Some treatments belong in high-volume specialised centres. When that's you, we prepare a complete referral summary, recommend centres by expertise (not habit), help with appointments, and stay your local doctor throughout.
