How do I choose the best cancer surgeon in Thane?
Look for a surgical oncologist (MCh or DrNB in surgical oncology), extra training in your type of cancer, regular experience with that operation, a hospital with an ICU and a cancer team, and a surgeon who explains the options clearly. Dr. Saneya Pandrowala holds an MCh from Tata Memorial Hospital and a DrNB, with an HPB fellowship.
What is the difference between a cancer surgeon and an oncologist?
An oncologist is a doctor who treats cancer. A surgical oncologist, or cancer surgeon, removes tumours with surgery; a medical oncologist gives chemotherapy and other drugs; a radiation oncologist gives radiotherapy. Many patients need more than one of them, so surgery is planned together with the other specialists. If surgery has been advised and you are looking for an oncologist in Thane, a surgical oncologist is the right first visit.
Which cancers does Dr. Saneya Pandrowala operate on?
Cancers of the oesophagus, stomach, colon and rectum; the liver, pancreas, gallbladder and bile ducts; the ovary, uterus and cervix; and advanced abdominal and peritoneal cancers, including cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC for selected patients.
Where does she see patients in Thane?
At KIMS Hospitals, Hiranandani Estate, Thane West (Monday to Friday, 2 to 4 pm), and at Doctors Planet and MN Care+ Polyclinic in Thane West. She also consults in Bhiwandi, Dombivli and Kalyan on fixed days. Call +91 98336 33218 to book.
What should I bring to the first consultation?
All scans (CT, MRI or PET-CT, with the CD or online link), biopsy and histopathology reports, recent blood tests, a list of your medicines and any earlier treatment summaries.
Is keyhole or robotic cancer surgery possible for me?
It depends on the type, size and stage of the cancer and on your general health. For many stomach, colon and some gynaecological cancers, laparoscopic or robotic surgery can mean smaller cuts and a faster recovery. Dr. Saneya will tell you which approach is safe in your case.
