Gynaec Oncologist Vastrapur in Ahmedabad — Expert Cancer Care
The short answer: Searching for a gynaecologist or cancer specialist in Vastrapur because of a worrying report or a cancer diagnosis? Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel, an ESGO-certified gynaecological oncosurgeon, does not have a clinic in Vastrapur. Women from Vastrapur see her by appointment at Sterling Hospitals (Sindhubhavan Road), KD Hospital (Vaishnodevi Circle, SG Highway) or Welcare Speciality Hospital in Ahmedabad. She treats cancers of the ovary, cervix, womb (uterus), vagina, vulva and fallopian tubes, and reviews suspicious scans and reports.
In Hindi this is often searched as ovary me ganth (ओवरी में गांठ) or andashay ka cancer (अंडाशय का कैंसर); in Gujarati, andashay nu cancer (અંડાશયનું કેન્સર).
Whichever hospital you choose, your case can be discussed with a tumour board (a meeting of cancer surgeons, cancer physicians, radiation doctors, pathologists and radiologists). Depending on the cancer and its stage, treatment may include open, keyhole (laparoscopic) or robotic surgery, and for selected women HIPEC or PIPAC.

- KD Hospital, Vaishnodevi Circle, SG Highway — also has robotic and keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery, with imaging, pathology and oncology services.
- Welcare Speciality Hospital — consultation, open surgery and keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery. There is no surgical robot at Welcare.

Why Vastrapur Patients Choose This Gynaec Oncologist
Vastrapur residents commonly consult Dr. Nishtha for cervical cancer screening follow-up, robotic surgery candidacy review, advanced ovarian cancer surgical planning, and second opinions before deciding on neoadjuvant chemotherapy.
Dr. Nishtha’s practice is positioned for the cases that need a surgeon who specialises in women’s cancers, rather than a general gynaecologist:
- Surgery for ovarian cancer — including advanced-stage cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC.
- Cervical cancer surgery — radical hysterectomy with lymph node removal. Open surgery is the standard for most early cervical cancers.
- 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 Vastrapur and across Ahmedabad.
Treatments Available to Vastrapur Patients
Treatments available to women from Vastrapur include the following. Which one suits you depends on the type of cancer, its stage and your overall health:
- Robotic surgery — done at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital; suits most early womb (endometrial) cancers and selected early ovarian cancers, 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, usually as open surgery. The 2018 LACC trial found worse survival with keyhole or robotic radical hysterectomy in most cases, so these are used only for selected small tumours (usually under 2 cm).
- 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 Vastrapur FAQs
- Does Dr. Nishtha have a clinic in Vastrapur?
No. Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel, an ESGO-certified gynaec oncologist, sees patients from Vastrapur at three Ahmedabad hospitals: Sterling Hospitals (Sindhubhavan Road), KD Hospital (Vaishnodevi Circle, SG Highway) and Welcare Speciality Hospital. All visits are by prior appointment.
- How far is Sterling Hospitals or KD Hospital from Vastrapur?
It depends on where in Vastrapur you live and on the traffic, so we do not quote a fixed distance or time. Sterling Hospitals is on Sindhubhavan Road and KD Hospital is at Vaishnodevi Circle on SG Highway. Please check a maps app before leaving, and choose the hospital that is easiest for you when you book.
- Is robotic gynaecological cancer surgery available for Vastrapur patients?
Yes, when it suits your case. Robotic surgery is done at Sterling Hospitals and KD Hospital, not at Welcare Speciality Hospital. It is used for most early womb (endometrial) cancers and selected early ovarian cancers. It is not the usual choice for cervical cancer: open radical hysterectomy is the standard for most women, because the 2018 LACC trial found worse survival with keyhole or robotic surgery in most cases. Robotic surgery is considered for cervical cancer only for selected small tumours (usually under 2 cm) after this has been discussed with you.
- Can Vastrapur patients get HIPEC treatment in Ahmedabad?
Yes, for selected patients. HIPEC (garam chemo, heated chemotherapy washed through the abdomen during surgery) with cytoreductive surgery is performed at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad. It may be offered to some women with advanced ovarian cancer when all visible tumour can be removed and they are fit for a long operation. It does not suit everyone and is not a guaranteed cure. Patients from Vastrapur do not need to travel to Mumbai or other cities for HIPEC.
- Do I need a referral to see a gynaec oncologist from Vastrapur?
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.
- Can I send my reports on WhatsApp before coming from Vastrapur?
Yes. You can share your scan, biopsy and blood reports on WhatsApp (+91 76988 00333) when you book. This helps the team plan your visit and tell you which hospital and which tests make sense, so the first consultation is more useful.
