Dr. Subramanian Iyer Featured

Dr. Subramanian Iyer

MBBS, MS (General Surgery), MCh (Surgical Oncology), Fellowship in HPB Surgery
Professor & Senior Surgical Oncologist · Surgical Oncologist
Tata Memorial Hospital Mumbai, India28+ Years experience

Dr. Subramanian Iyer is a senior surgical oncologist at Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai, which is widely regarded as one of the finest cancer centres in Asia and treats more than 75,000 new cancer patients annually. With a career spanning nearly three decades, Dr. Iyer specialises in the surgical management of gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary cancers — an area requiring not only technical mastery but a deep understanding of oncology, as surgery is frequently combined with chemotherapy and radiation in multimodal treatment protocols. He trained in surgery at the prestigious Grant Medical College before completing his post-doctoral work at Tata Memorial, and subsequently undertook a fellowship in hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery at the University of Queensland in Australia. This fellowship equipped him with expertise in complex liver resections, Whipple procedures (pancreaticoduodenectomy), and bile duct reconstructions — procedures that require precision and carry significant technical challenge. Dr. Iyer's work philosophy centres on the multidisciplinary tumour board model: every cancer patient under his care is reviewed by a team that includes medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists before a treatment plan is agreed. This ensures that no patient receives surgery when a non-surgical approach would achieve better outcomes, and vice versa. He has also been closely involved in clinical research, contributing to multicentre trials on gastric cancer surgery and hepatocellular carcinoma resection. His publications appear in internationally indexed journals and have been cited in evidence-based oncology guidelines.

How to Select the Best Doctor for Surgical Oncology in Mumbai, India?

Choosing the right surgical oncology surgeon is one of the most important decisions in your treatment journey. A few factors are worth weighing before you decide:

Experience and Expertise

Look for a surgeon with a strong track record in surgical oncology specifically, not just general surgery. Years of listed experience — shown on every profile below — is a reasonable starting point.

Specialization

Surgical Oncology covers a wide range of procedures, from routine endoscopic work to complex organ transplants. Check that the doctor's listed procedures (see "Procedures in surgical oncology" below) actually match the treatment you need.

Hospital Affiliation

The hospital matters as much as the surgeon. Look for an accredited centre with a dedicated gastroenterology/HPB (hepatopancreatobiliary) unit, ICU support, and experience treating international patients — see "Hospitals where these doctors operate" below.

Communication and Second Opinions

You should be able to get clear answers about your case before committing to travel. Ask for a written second opinion on your reports, in a language you're comfortable in, before you decide.

Transparent Costs

Ask for an itemised, all-inclusive estimate — surgeon's fee, hospital charges and stay — before you travel, so there are no surprises once treatment begins. Our cost calculator (linked below) gives a starting estimate.
