Dr. Phanendra Kumar Gubbala

Dr. Phanendra Kumar Gubbala is a Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist with over 9 years of dedicated experience in the surgical management of women's cancers. Based in Chennai, India, he holds MBBS and MRCOG qualifications, complemented by a prestigious Fellowship in Gynaecological Oncology from The Christie Cancer Hospital, Manchester—one of Europe's leading oncology centres. His rigorous international training has made him one of only a few Indian physicians to hold Fellowship of the European Board of Gynaecologists, a distinction reflecting his alignment with European standards of cancer care.

Dr. Gubbala brings comprehensive expertise across open, laparoscopic, and robotic-assisted surgical approaches for gynaecological malignancies. His clinical interests encompass radical hysterectomy, cervical and ovarian cancer surgery, endometrial and vulvar cancer management, sentinel lymph node biopsy, and cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC (hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy). He has presented research findings at major international conferences across Ireland, Britain, Europe, America, and the World Surgical Society, underscoring his commitment to evidence-based oncological practice.

Dr. Gubbala is experienced in treating international patients from the Gulf region, Africa, and South Asia. His multilingual abilities—English, Hindi, and Tamil—combined with his patient-centred approach, ensure that complex cancer cases are managed with both clinical precision and compassionate communication. He welcomes patients seeking second opinions and comprehensive treatment planning.

Currently affiliated with Apollo Proton Cancer Centre in Chennai, he also serves at Apollo Hospitals in Ahmedabad. Apollo Proton Cancer Centre is India's leading facility for advanced cancer treatment, equipped with proton therapy technology and state-of-the-art surgical suites, alongside a dedicated international patient services team. The centre combines cutting-edge technology with multidisciplinary oncology support.

For international patients, Dr. Gubbala's practice offers the advantage of British-trained surgical standards in a cost-effective setting. Treatment timelines are typically shorter than in Western countries, and Apollo's international desk facilitates visa support, medical record coordination, and follow-up care planning. Patients benefit from proton therapy availability and world-class imaging diagnostics on site.
