Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Mandeep Malhotra is a leading surgical oncologist in India and his expertise is distinguished by his training at AIIMS and international fellowships, combined with his pioneering skills in advanced techniques like Transoral Robotic Surgery (TORS), microvascular reconstruction, and complex salvage surgeries for recurrent tumours, making him a leading surgeon in this field.
TORS is a minimally invasive procedure where a surgeon uses a robotic system to remove tumours from the throat and mouth through the oral cavity, avoiding large external incisions. Its benefits include less pain, minimal scarring, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery of speech and swallowing functions.
Dr. Malhotra uses Molecular Oncology to analyse the genetic makeup of a patient's tumour. Through techniques like Next-Gen Sequencing and Liquid Biopsy, he identifies specific mutations to select the most effective chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or immunotherapy, offering a truly personalised cancer treatment.
Oncoplastic Breast Surgery is an advanced approach that combines cancer removal techniques with plastic surgery principles. It aims to remove the tumour while reshaping the breast to achieve the best possible cosmetic outcome, preserving a woman's body image and confidence.
Prophylactic Mastectomy is a preventive surgery to remove one or both breasts to drastically reduce the risk of developing breast cancer. It is primarily recommended for women with a very high risk, such as those carrying the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation or with a strong family history of breast cancer.
Salvage surgery is performed to treat a cancer that has returned (recurred) in an area that has already been treated, typically with radiation or chemoradiation. These are highly complex procedures requiring immense skill, and Dr. Malhotra is one of the few experts in India specialising in salvage surgery for recurrent cancers..
"Art of Healing Cancer" is an initiative co-founded by Dr. Malhotra. It is a holistic approach that complements standard cancer treatments with evidence-based strategies like metabolic therapy and nutraceuticals, guided by molecular analysis, to enhance treatment efficacy and improve the patient's overall well-being.
International patients can easily schedule a virtual consultation with Dr. Malhotra through the Cancer Rounds team. We will help you share your medical reports, fix an appointment, and manage all logistical aspects for a smooth experience.
