She holds an MBBS, MD in Radiation Oncology, and DNB in Medical Oncology, combining dual specializations to deliver integrated treatment approaches for patients with solid tumors and hematological malignancies. Her qualifications and breadth of training position her as a skilled practitioner in modern oncology.

Dr. Kalyani has developed deep clinical proficiency across the full spectrum of radiation oncology techniques, including CyberKnife radiosurgery, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), 3D conformal radiotherapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy, and both intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy.

She has earned recognition for her research contributions at national conferences, including a best paper award at FAMS in 2019 for her work comparing external beam and brachytherapy techniques in early-stage breast cancer. Her multidisciplinary training enables her to manage complex oncology cases with compassion and precision, with particular strength in palliative oncology and bone metastases management.
