Best Doctors for Cancer & Oncology in India

Cancer treatment in India is delivered by three overlapping specialists, and knowing which one leads your case helps. A surgical oncologist, trained through MCh in Surgical Oncology, removes tumours and performs staging surgery. A medical oncologist, trained through DM in Medical Oncology, manages chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. A radiation oncologist, trained through MD in Radiation Oncology, plans and delivers radiotherapy, often using image-guided or stereotactic techniques for precision. In most cases these three work together through a tumour board rather than one specialist deciding the full treatment plan alone, and which one you speak to first usually depends on whether surgery, systemic treatment or radiation is the immediate next step.

The specialists listed here were selected on qualification in the relevant branch, years in independent practice, the annual volume of cases they handle in their own category, and the hospital and tumour board behind them, since oncology outcomes depend heavily on team coordination as well as individual skill. Several are attached to high volume cancer centres in Delhi NCR where our network is anchored.
