Gynaec Oncologist Bodakdev in Ahmedabad — Expert Cancer Care
The short answer: there is no separate clinic in Bodakdev. Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel, an ESGO-certified gynaecological oncosurgeon (a surgeon who treats cancers of the ovary, womb, cervix, vagina and vulva), sees women from Bodakdev by appointment at Sterling Hospitals (Sindhubhavan Road), KD Hospital (Vaishnodevi Circle, SG Highway) or Welcare Speciality Hospital in Ahmedabad. Most women come after a scan, Pap test or biopsy report has raised a concern, or for a second opinion on a diagnosis made elsewhere.
Families often search in Hindi or Gujarati, for example andashay ka cancer (अंडाशय का कैंसर, ovarian cancer) or gynaec cancer doctor (ગાયનેક કેન્સર ડૉક્ટર). For a wider overview, see specialist gynaecological cancer care in Ahmedabad.
Whichever of the three hospitals you choose, every case is discussed in a multidisciplinary tumour board before treatment is planned. Treatment depends on the type and stage of cancer: it may be open surgery, laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, robotic surgery for suitable early womb or selected early ovarian cancers, or, for selected advanced ovarian cancer, cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC or PIPAC. Not every option is right for every woman.

Hospital Access from Bodakdev
Dr. Nishtha does not have a clinic in Bodakdev itself. She sees patients by prior appointment at three Ahmedabad hospitals, and you can choose the one that suits you:
- Sterling Hospitals, Sindhubhavan Road — robotic surgery and laparoscopy (keyhole surgery), as well as cytoreductive surgery, HIPEC and PIPAC.
- KD Hospital, Vaishnodevi Circle, SG Highway — multi-specialty hospital with imaging, pathology and oncology services. Robotic surgery and laparoscopy are available here too.
- Welcare Speciality Hospital — consultations and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery. Robotic surgery is not done at Welcare; if you need it, it is planned at Sterling Hospitals or KD Hospital.
If you expect several visits, for example check-ups after surgery or during chemotherapy, mention this when you book so the hospital that is easiest for you can be used where possible.
Why Bodakdev Patients Choose This Gynaec Oncologist
Most patients from Bodakdev who consult Dr. Nishtha are referred for ovarian or uterine cancer review, a second opinion after an outside diagnosis, or assessment of a complex pelvic mass identified on a routine ultrasound.
Dr. Nishtha’s practice is positioned for the cases that benefit most from a specialist gynaecological cancer surgeon rather than a general gynaecologist:
- Surgery for ovarian cancer — including advanced-stage cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC.
- Cervical cancer surgery — radical hysterectomy with lymph node dissection.
- Fertility-preserving surgery — for selected early-stage cervical, ovarian and endometrial cancers.
- Second opinions — independent review of pathology, imaging and treatment plans.
Dr. Nishtha is a member of the European Society of Gynaecological Oncology (ESGO) and brings international training standards to her practice in Bodakdev and across Ahmedabad.
Treatments Available to Bodakdev Patients
Treatment is chosen for each woman’s cancer type and stage. Dr. Nishtha’s practice covers:
- Robotic surgery — at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital, for most early womb (endometrial) cancers and selected early ovarian cancers, including staging and sentinel lymph node mapping. It is not the standard for cervical cancer.
- HIPEC — hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy with cytoreductive surgery.
- PIPAC — pressurised intraperitoneal aerosol chemotherapy.
- Cytoreductive surgery — complex multi-visceral debulking.
- Radical hysterectomy — for early-stage cervical cancer; open surgery is the standard for most women.
- Fertility-preserving surgery — for eligible early-stage cancers.
Every case is reviewed in a multidisciplinary tumour-board meeting with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, pathologists and radiologists before treatment is finalised.

Gynaec Oncologist Bodakdev FAQs
- Is there a gynaec cancer specialist clinic in Bodakdev?
Not a separate clinic. Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel, an ESGO-certified gynaec oncologist, sees patients from Bodakdev at Sterling Hospitals (Sindhubhavan Road), KD Hospital (Vaishnodevi Circle, SG Highway) or Welcare Speciality Hospital in Ahmedabad. She treats ovarian, cervical, uterine (womb), vaginal and vulvar cancers.
- Which hospital is easiest to reach from Bodakdev?
That depends on where in Bodakdev you live and the time of day. Sterling Hospitals is on Sindhubhavan Road and KD Hospital is at Vaishnodevi Circle on SG Highway; a map app will give the best estimate for your journey. When you book, say which hospital you prefer.
- Is robotic gynaecological cancer surgery available for Bodakdev patients?
Yes, for the right cancers. Robotic surgery and laparoscopy (keyhole surgery) are done at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital. Welcare Speciality Hospital offers laparoscopy but not robotic surgery. Robotic surgery suits most early womb (endometrial) cancers and selected early ovarian cancers; it is not used for advanced ovarian cancer, which needs open surgery.
For cervical cancer, open radical hysterectomy is the standard for most women. A large 2018 study (the LACC trial) found worse survival after keyhole or robotic radical hysterectomy than after open surgery in most cases. Keyhole or robotic surgery is considered only for selected small tumours (usually under 2 cm), after discussing this evidence with you.
- Can Bodakdev patients get HIPEC treatment in Ahmedabad?
Yes, for selected patients. HIPEC (heated chemotherapy washed through the abdomen during surgery, sometimes called garam chemo) is combined with cytoreductive surgery at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad. It is considered for selected stage 3 (sometimes stage 4) ovarian cancer when all visible tumour can be removed and the patient is fit for a long operation. It is not right for everyone and is not a guaranteed cure. Patients from Bodakdev do not need to travel to Mumbai or another city for it.
- Do I need a referral to see a gynaec oncologist from Bodakdev?
No referral is required. Patients can contact the practice directly on +91 76988 00333 or via WhatsApp to schedule a consultation. Bringing existing reports makes the first visit more productive.
- I was diagnosed at another hospital. Can I get a second opinion before starting treatment?
Yes. Many women ask for a second opinion before surgery or chemotherapy. You can share your reports on WhatsApp (+91 76988 00333) to request one, and bring your biopsy (histopathology) report, scans with CDs and any treatment summaries to the visit. A second opinion may confirm your current plan or suggest a different approach; it does not mean you have to change hospitals.
