Biopsy
A biopsy is a procedure used to remove a small sample of tissue or cells so it can be examined under a microscope. This page explains why biopsies are done, what results can show, and what patients can expect before and after the procedure.

Advanced Gynaecological Cancer Treatment in Ahmedabad
Gynaecological cancer treatment has been transformed over the past decade. Robotic-assisted and laparoscopic approaches now allow precision oncological resection through incisions of less than a centimetre — shorter hospital stays, faster recovery, and equivalent oncological outcomes to open surgery. HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy), once only available abroad, is now performed by Dr. Nishtha Tripathi Patel in Ahmedabad for advanced ovarian and peritoneal cancers.
Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. The correct approach depends on cancer type, stage, histological subtype, patient fitness, and fertility priorities. Every patient is discussed in a multidisciplinary team (MDT) setting that includes gynaecological oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, and radiology — ensuring the treatment plan is personalised, evidence-based, and aligned with current ESGO guidelines.
Select a treatment below to understand the procedure, who it is appropriate for, what preparation is involved, and what recovery looks like.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy uses anti-cancer medicines to treat cancer cells throughout the body. This page explains when chemotherapy may be used, how treatment is planned, common side effects, and when urgent medical review is needed.
Cytoreductive Surgery
Cytoreductive surgery is an operation aimed at removing as much visible tumor as safely possible. This page explains when it may be used, how it relates to ovarian cancer and HIPEC planning, and what recovery may involve.
Fertility-Preserving Surgery
Fertility-preserving surgery aims to treat gynaecological cancer while maintaining the possibility of future pregnancy. This page explains when conservative approaches may be safely offered for cervical, ovarian, and endometrial cancers — and why a gynaecological oncologist must lead these decisions.
HIPEC Surgery
HIPEC surgery combines cytoreductive surgery with heated chemotherapy delivered directly into the abdominal cavity. This page explains when it may be considered, how treatment is planned, recovery expectations, and when specialist review is important.
Immunotherapy
Immunotherapy is a cancer treatment that helps the immune system recognize and respond to cancer cells. This page explains when it may be used, how treatment is monitored, possible side effects, and when urgent medical review is needed.
PIPAC Surgery
PIPAC (Pressurized Intraperitoneal Aerosol Chemotherapy) delivers aerosolized chemotherapy directly to the peritoneal surface via a minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure. This page explains when PIPAC may be considered, how it differs from HIPEC, and what patients can expect.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses carefully planned high-energy treatment to damage cancer cells in a targeted area. This page explains when radiation may be used, how treatment is planned, common side effects, and what follow-up usually involves.
Radical Hysterectomy
Radical hysterectomy is a surgery used in selected gynecologic cancers to remove the uterus and nearby supporting tissue. This page explains when it may be recommended, what recovery involves, and how treatment planning is individualized.
Robotic Surgery
Robotic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical approach that may be used in selected gynecologic oncology cases. This page explains when it may be recommended, how recovery is approached, and why specialist-led planning matters.
