About the Surgeon

Two Decades of Precision Cancer Surgery

With over 20 years of dedicated experience in surgical oncology, our lead cancer surgeon brings together deep clinical expertise, international training and a genuine commitment to compassionate patient care. Trained at India's premier institutions and mentored by pioneers in oncology, the surgeon has performed more than 5,000 successful cancer surgeries spanning breast, gastrointestinal, hepatobiliary, thoracic, head-and-neck, gynaecological, urological and soft-tissue cancers.

Every patient's care plan is shaped by a multidisciplinary tumour-board discussion that includes medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists, nutritionists, physiotherapists and dedicated cancer nurses. This ensures that surgery, when recommended, is precise, purposeful and integrated with the wider treatment plan. The practice is anchored in organ-preservation surgery, minimally invasive techniques and robotic-assisted oncology, translating into shorter hospital stays, less pain and dramatically improved quality of life after surgery.

FAQs

Answers, from an Expert

Who is the best cancer surgeon in Chandigarh?
Our surgeon is a senior surgical oncologist with 20+ years of experience, 5,000+ cancer surgeries performed, fellowships in advanced surgical oncology, and expertise in robotic, laparoscopic and organ-preserving cancer surgery across all major cancer types.
When is cancer surgery needed?
Cancer surgery is typically needed when the tumour is localized or locally advanced, when a definitive diagnosis is required through biopsy, for staging, for symptom relief, or as part of a multimodal treatment plan combined with chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Is cancer surgery painful?
Modern cancer surgery uses advanced anaesthesia, minimally invasive techniques and multimodal pain-management protocols. Most patients report mild-to-moderate discomfort that is well controlled with medication and resolves within days.
How long is recovery after cancer surgery?
Recovery depends on the surgery type. Minor procedures may need 1–2 weeks; major open surgeries can require 4–8 weeks. Laparoscopic and robotic surgery generally shorten recovery significantly.
Can cancer return after surgery?
Recurrence risk depends on cancer type, stage, tumour biology and adjuvant treatment. Regular follow-up, imaging and blood tests help detect recurrence early when it is most treatable.
What is robotic cancer surgery?
Robotic cancer surgery uses a computer-assisted robotic platform (like da Vinci) allowing 3D vision, wristed instruments and micro-precision — leading to smaller incisions, less blood loss and faster recovery.
How much does cancer surgery cost in Chandigarh?
Cost varies with the surgery type, hospital, complexity and duration of hospital stay. We help patients understand estimates transparently and coordinate cashless insurance where possible.
Is minimally invasive cancer surgery available?
Yes. Laparoscopic and robotic cancer surgery is offered for most abdominal, urological, gynaecological and thoracic cancers when oncologically appropriate.
How do I prepare for cancer surgery?
Preparation includes fitness assessment, blood tests, imaging, dietary and lifestyle changes, stopping certain medications and clear communication with the surgical team about your medical history.
Can I get a second opinion?
Absolutely. A second opinion is encouraged. We provide detailed evaluation, imaging review and honest advice — even if surgery isn't the right option for you.
Can elderly patients undergo cancer surgery?
Age alone is not a barrier. With careful pre-operative optimisation and minimally invasive approaches, many patients in their 70s and 80s undergo cancer surgery safely with excellent outcomes.
How soon can I resume work after surgery?
Desk-based work is often possible within 2–4 weeks; physically demanding work may take 6–12 weeks. Your surgeon will personalise this based on your recovery.
Will I need chemotherapy afterwards?
Adjuvant therapy is decided based on final pathology, stage and molecular markers. Not every patient needs it; your multidisciplinary team will guide you.
How do I book an appointment?
Call us, WhatsApp us, or use the appointment form on this website. We offer in-person and video consultations.
Which cancers can be treated surgically?
Most solid tumours — breast, colon, rectum, stomach, liver, pancreas, lung, thyroid, head-and-neck, gynaecological, urological, sarcoma, skin, melanoma and peritoneal cancers — are treated with modern surgical oncology.
