Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology is a state government aided regional cancer center and a tertiary cancer center which offers a comprehensive care to individuals of all strata of society. It’s the largest cancer center in Karnataka state. Presently designated as an Assistant Professor. I am actively involved in evaluating and decision making for the patients, regular teaching program for the surgical residents. Our operative work includes considerable number of minimally invasive surgery for stomach, colorectal cancers, Genito-urinary cancers and Video assisted Thoracoscopic surgery for esophageal cancers. Significant number of open HPB work is performed including, pylorus preserving pancreatico-duodenectomy, Hepatic resections, and radical cholecystectomy. Organ conservative surgery Inter-sphincteric resections, Partial cystectomy, breast conservative surgery- Oncoplasty techniques, Sentinel lymph-node biopsy for management of axilla in breast cancer are a few to list.

I wish to focus on developing a state of the art GI –Colorectal cancer management services and a breast-oncoplasty services which provides care from prevention to palliation with equal focus on education and research. Additionally I want to work on the impactful research questions in GI and colorectal cancers.
