Dr. Hemant Khandare

Dr Hemant Khandare is a globally acclaimed Nuclear Medicine Physician in Mumbai with 24 years of elite clinical experience in advanced molecular imaging and targeted radionuclide cancer therapies.

He currently serves as a Consultant in Nuclear Medicine at the prestigious Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital and Medical Research Institute in Andheri West, where he established the entire Nuclear Medicine department in 2008.

He is fluent in English, Hindi, and Marathi, ensuring clear and precise communication with patients undergoing complex radioactive treatments.

Demonstrating unmatched clinical supremacy, Dr Khandare is a master of advanced diagnostic imaging. He has personally executed and reported on a staggering volume of over 25,000 PET-CT scans, utilizing microscopic amounts of radioactive tracers to map the exact, cellular-level spread of aggressive cancers throughout the body with unparalleled precision.

He executes bleeding-edge, targeted radioactive therapies. He deploys powerful radioactive isotopes, such as Lu-177 PSMA and Lu-177 DOTATATE, directly into the patient's bloodstream.

These radioactive molecules hunt down and physically destroy metastatic prostate cancer and neuroendocrine tumors from the inside out, saving patients when standard chemotherapy has failed.

He is also a pioneer in Nuclear Neurology, utilizing advanced SPECT/PET-MRI fusion techniques to physically map the exact location of severe epileptic seizures inside the brain.

He brings decades of formidable clinical leadership to his practice, having previously served as a Consultant at Jaslok Hospital.
