INTRODUCTION:

One of the top cancer doctors in the Delhi-NCR area, Ajay Gupta is well-known for his proficiency in treating different types of cancer. His extensive training encompasses the treatment of cancers affecting diverse areas such as the blood and bone marrow (leukemias), lymph nodes (lymphoma), liver, spleen, stomach, skin, intestines, pancreas, bladder, lung, brain, ovary, breast, and thyroid. Additionally, he extends his care to both children and adults afflicted with rhabdomyosarcoma and melanoma.

As a prominent medical oncologist in Delhi, he provides the best treatment strategies tailored to each patient’s specific malignant condition. His repertoire includes advising on various modalities such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, as well as allogeneic and autologous bone marrow transplantation. He collaborates closely with surgical oncologists, referring patients for surgical interventions when necessary, while demonstrating expertise in hematology and immunotherapy for the diagnosis and treatment of a wide spectrum of tumors.

His kind personality, vast knowledge, sympathetic disposition, and soothing bedside manner have won him the respect of patients and colleagues during his more than fifteen years of professional practice. He has received the Gita Mittal Medal for Best Clinical Research in Oncology, a testament to his dedication and contributions to the field. Dealing with a chronic condition like cancer can be emotionally and physically draining for patients and their relatives. That is why we must do everything in our power to comfort them, says Dr. Gupta.
