Anahat Oncology - Head & Neck Cancer Surgeon and Specialist

Anahat Oncology derives its inspiration from the Sanskrit concept of ‘Anahat’, which connotes a primordial consciousness that resonates with all which is noble in human nature – love, compassion and selflessness.

Anahat Oncology is a specialized medical practice dedicated to the screening, diagnosis and surgical interventions of Head and Neck cancers and allied conditions such as benign tumors of the thyroid, parathyroid and parotid glands.

With the growing criticality of treatment for head and neck (H&N) cancers, which account for more than 40% of all cancer cases in India, a great need exists for a new generation of H&N cancer surgeons who can herald a qualitative change in the Indian cancer scenario by combining latest surgical techniques with a deeper understanding of Indian medical and social conditions.

We strongly believe in the patient-surgeon bond, which is an invaluable tool in the healing process.

We strive to assist the individual towards a tumor-free life of meaning and fulfillment.

It is our deep commitment to evidence-based medicine that motivates us to participate at the world’s highest medical forums of oncology so that our patients may benefit from the most current and highest medical care.
