Dr. Tushar Jadhav — Consultant in Mumbai

Dr. Tushar Jadhav is a Consultant at Gleneagles Hospital, Parel, Mumbai, with more than 20 years of experience. His practice covers surgical oncology, breast cancer oncology and breast reconstruction.

Breast surgery is where almost all of his operating work sits: breast cancer surgery, mastectomy, breast-conserving surgery, oncoplastic breast surgery, sentinel lymph node biopsy and breast biopsy. He also performs skin cancer and melanoma surgery.

His qualifications follow the same line. After an MBBS and an MS in General Surgery from Mumbai University, he completed a DNB super-specialty in surgical oncology at the Regional Cancer Centre, Kolkata, an MCh in Breast Oncoplasty at the University of East Anglia in the United Kingdom, and a postdoctoral fellowship at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai. He holds the European Board of Surgery Qualification in breast surgery, which is a formal European specialist credential in the field rather than a general surgical one.

His advanced international training has concentrated on reconstruction: perforator-based flaps, image-guided breast surgery and whole breast reconstruction at institutes in Spain, Italy, Singapore, the United Kingdom at Guy's Hospital in London, and Germany at MHDCC in Düsseldorf.

He is a member of the Association of Surgeons of India, the Association of Breast Surgeons of India, the Indian Medical Association, the European Society of Surgical Oncology, the Society of Surgical Oncology in the United States and the Brazilian Society of Surgical Oncology. For patients weighing reconstruction alongside cancer clearance, that combination of oncological and oncoplastic credentials is the relevant point.
