Female Onco-Surgeon with HIPEC Capability, Times Healthcare Award, and 700+ Cancer Survivor Community

Breast and gynaecological surgical oncology is a sub specialty where the combination of international fellowship training, advanced peritoneal surface cancer capability, and structured cancer survivorship engagement creates a practice profile that extends meaningfully beyond standard cancer surgery. Dr Pansari's Fellowship in Breast and Gynaecology Oncology from Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center, Buffalo, NY, USA (one of America's oldest NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centres, through the Indo American Cancer Association and Dr Shashikant Lele Fellowship) is a genuinely elite international cancer surgery credential.

Her surgical capability across HIPEC, PIPAC, cytoreductive surgery, breast conservation with oncoplasty, nipple-sparing mastectomy, sentinel lymph node biopsy with reverse axillary mapping, fertility-sparing gynaecological cancer surgery, and robotic onco-surgery reflects the breadth of modern cancer surgical techniques. Her "Excellence in Onco-Sciences Department" Award at Times Healthcare Excellence Awards and "Shining Star" Award at Deccan Herald Healing Hands provide independent media and industry validation. What further distinguishes her practice is the founding of Sakhi Oncology, a cancer survivor support group with over 700 members (all her patients now cancer survivors), reflecting a commitment to cancer care that extends beyond the operating room into structured survivorship, community support, and patient empowerment. Combined with seven professional memberships including IACA, ABSI, and AGOI, Gold Medal in General Surgery, and a multi-hospital career across seven named Bangalore institutions, this depth of internationally trained, award-winning breast and gynaecological surgical oncology is now offered through Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road.
