Board-certified surgical oncologist
DrNB in Surgical Oncology with dedicated fellowships in robotic and advanced laparoscopic surgery — not a general surgeon operating on cancer.
Minimally invasive where it truly helps
Robotic and keyhole techniques are chosen only when they match or beat open surgery for your cancer.
Every case reviewed by a tumour board
Your plan is discussed with medical and radiation oncologists before surgery is offered.
Unhurried, jargon-free consultations
You will hear the options, the risks and the alternatives in plain language — and decide together.
Complex peritoneal disease expertise
One of few Mumbai surgeons offering CRS with HIPEC and PIPAC for advanced ovarian and colorectal cancers.
Transparent second opinions
Reports reviewed in advance for complex cases, with a clear written plan you can share with your team.
The cancers Dr. Shah treats most often.
A focused practice across GI, gynaecological, breast, head-neck and urogenital cancers — plus peritoneal surface oncology programmes like CRS and HIPEC.
Gastrointestinal Cancers
Surgery for cancers of the stomach, oesophagus, pancreas, liver, colon and rectum.
Gynaecological Cancers
Surgery for ovarian, uterine and cervical cancers, including cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC or PIPAC when needed.
Breast Cancer
Breast-conserving surgery and oncoplastic techniques where suitable, alongside mastectomy when it is the safer choice.
Head, Neck & Thyroid
Surgery for oral, thyroid and salivary gland tumours, with care taken to preserve speech, swallowing and appearance.
Urogenital Cancers
Surgery for kidney, bladder, penile and testicular cancers, including robotic and laparoscopic options.
CRS, HIPEC & PIPAC
Specialised procedures for cancers that have spread to the lining of the abdomen (peritoneum).
Surgery, explained together.
Every plan is discussed in plain language, weighed against the evidence, and shaped around what matters to you and your family.
The right operation for your cancer
Each plan is decided by your tumour, stage and overall health — not by a fixed protocol.
Minimally invasive where it is safer
Robotic and laparoscopic techniques are used when they genuinely help recovery without compromising the cancer outcome.
Decisions made as a team
Cases are discussed with medical and radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists before surgery.
Clear, unhurried conversations
You will hear the options, the risks and the alternatives in plain language before deciding together.
Trained where it counts.

Patient voices.
A few words from patients and families who have walked this path with Dr. Shah — shared with their consent.
@A patient family
Dr. Shah explained every option in plain language. For the first time we didn't feel rushed — we felt heard, and we understood the plan before agreeing to it.
@A surgical patient
Recovery from the keyhole surgery was faster than we had expected. The pre-op briefing was detailed, calm, and completely honest about what to expect day by day.
@A caregiver
Warm, patient and technically thorough — a combination we really valued. He answered every follow-up question over weeks, not just on the day of the appointment.
@A returning patient
Second opinion turned into a second chance. The clarity of his reasoning made a hard decision feel like the right one for our family.
@A young patient's parent
He treated our daughter like his own — patient, gentle, and always willing to answer one more question. That made the whole journey easier.
A second opinion, one call away.
