Dr. Sumit Sharma

Dr Sumit Sharma is a Senior Interventional Radiologist and Onco-Imaging Specialist in Kolkata with 13 years of clinical experience.

He currently serves as the Head of the Department of Interventional Radiology at HCG Cancer Center in New Town. His clinical focus is utilizing highly advanced, real-time imaging systems to perform minimally invasive cancer treatments without open surgery.

Dr Sharma possesses an incredibly elite, apex-tier diagnostic and surgical pedigree. To super-specialize, he completed a highly rigorous Fellowship in Onco-Imaging and Interventional Oncology at the prestigious Tata Medical Center in Kolkata.
