Gynaec Oncologist Thaltej in Ahmedabad — Expert Cancer Care
The short answer: If you live in Thaltej and need a cancer specialist for women (a gynaec oncologist), there is no clinic in Thaltej itself. Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel sees patients by appointment at three Ahmedabad hospitals: Sterling Hospitals on Sindhubhavan Road, KD Hospital at Vaishnodevi Circle on SG Highway, and Welcare Speciality Hospital. She is an ESGO-certified gynaecological oncosurgeon who treats cancers of the ovary, the mouth of the womb (cervix), the womb (uterus), the vagina, the vulva and the fallopian tubes.
Families often search for this in Hindi as bachedani ke muh ka cancer (बच्चेदानी के मुँह का कैंसर) or in Gujarati as garbhashay nu cancer (ગર્ભાશયનું કેન્સર).
Patients from Thaltej come to these hospitals for consultation, surgery and follow-up. Each case is discussed with a team of cancer specialists (a tumour board), and selected patients may be offered advanced procedures such as robotic surgery (for most early womb cancers and selected early ovarian cancers), HIPEC or PIPAC.

Which Hospital to Visit from Thaltej
Dr. Nishtha does not run a clinic in Thaltej. You can see her by prior appointment at any of these three hospitals in Ahmedabad, and you can ask for the one and the day that suit you best:

- KD Hospital, Vaishnodevi Circle, SG Highway — robotic surgery and laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, in a multi-specialty hospital with imaging, pathology and oncology services.

Why Thaltej Patients Choose This Gynaec Oncologist
Common consultation reasons from Thaltej include ovarian cancer staging discussions, robotic hysterectomy candidacy review, evaluation of complex fibroids that may need oncology-trained surgical input, and post-HIPEC follow-up.
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 removal of lymph nodes (glands); for most early cervical cancers this is done as open surgery.
- 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 Thaltej and across Ahmedabad.
Treatments Available to Thaltej Patients
For patients from Thaltej, the practice covers the full range of surgery for women’s cancers. Not every treatment is right for everyone; the choice depends on the cancer, its stage and your general health:
- Robotic surgery — at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital, mainly for early womb (endometrial) cancer and selected early ovarian cancer, including staging and sentinel lymph node mapping.
- 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, because a large 2018 study (the LACC trial) found worse survival with keyhole or robotic surgery in most cases.
- 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 Thaltej FAQs
- Is there a gynaec oncologist clinic in Thaltej?
No. Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel, an ESGO-certified gynaec oncologist, does not have a clinic in Thaltej. Patients from Thaltej see her by appointment 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.
- How far are the hospitals from Thaltej?
We do not give fixed distances or drive times, because they depend on where in Thaltej you start and on traffic. Sterling Hospitals is on Sindhubhavan Road and KD Hospital is at Vaishnodevi Circle on SG Highway; a maps app will show the travel time on the day. When you book, you can ask for the hospital that is easiest for you to reach.
- Is robotic gynaecological cancer surgery available for Thaltej patients?
Yes, for suitable cases. Dr. Nishtha performs robotic surgery at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital (it is not done at Welcare Speciality Hospital). Robotic surgery suits most early womb (endometrial) cancers and selected early ovarian cancers, and can include staging and sentinel lymph node mapping. For cervical cancer, open radical hysterectomy is the standard for most women: the 2018 LACC trial found worse survival with keyhole or robotic surgery in most cases, so robotic surgery is considered only for selected small tumours (usually under 2 cm) after this evidence has been discussed with you.
- Can Thaltej patients get HIPEC treatment in Ahmedabad?
Yes, for selected patients. HIPEC (heated chemotherapy given inside the abdomen, also called garam chemo) combined with cytoreductive surgery is performed at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad. It is considered for some women with advanced ovarian cancer when all visible tumour can be removed and they are fit for a long operation. It is not right for everyone and is not a guaranteed cure. Patients from Thaltej do not need to travel to Mumbai or other cities for HIPEC.
- Do I need a referral to see a gynaec oncologist from Thaltej?
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.
- Which of the three hospitals should I choose if I live in Thaltej?
For a first consultation, choose the hospital and day that suit you. If robotic surgery may be part of your treatment, it is done at Sterling Hospitals or KD Hospital. Laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery is available at all three hospitals. The team can guide you when you call or WhatsApp +91 76988 00333.
