Why Consult Dr Avinash Upadhyay

Cancer treatment has changed more in the last decade than in the previous fifty years — targeted therapies, immune checkpoint inhibitors, antibody-drug conjugates, and CAR-T cell therapy have transformed what is achievable for many cancers. The medical oncologists best positioned to translate this rapid progress into individual patient care are those whose training was shaped at the institutions actively delivering it.

Dr Upadhyay's pathway through JIPMER for internal medicine and AIIMS Delhi for medical oncology represents this exact training environment, and his sub-specialty focus on cancer genetics — with over 1000 genetic counselling consultations delivered — addresses an aspect of modern oncology that most general medical oncologists do not engage with deeply.

For patients in Bihar facing a cancer diagnosis, this combination of cutting-edge therapeutic familiarity and hereditary cancer expertise, now available through Paras HMRI Hospital and his other Patna locations, removes a meaningful share of the reasons families historically travelled to Mumbai or Delhi for cancer treatment.
