Dr. Pranav Shah

Dr Pranav Shah is a highly distinguished Senior Radiation Oncologist in Vadodara with 14 years of clinical experience.

He currently serves as the Head of Radiation Oncology at the HCG Cancer Centre in Atladara. His clinical focus is the highly precise, sub-millimeter eradication of complex brain tumors and systemic malignancies utilizing advanced, non-surgical radiation robotics.

Demonstrating immense global authority, he completed highly specialized Neuro-Radiation Oncology training at the world-renowned Duke University (North Carolina, USA) and served as a Consultant at Queen’s Hospital in New York alongside leading international oncologists.

In India, he further honed his clinical mastery by completing advanced radiotherapy training at the apex Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai.

Because of his elite American training in neuro-oncology, Dr Shah is highly specialized in executing Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS). This allows him to safely burn and destroy tumors buried deep inside the brain and spinal cord without ever requiring a surgeon to cut open the patient's skull.

He is a recognized national academic researcher, actively publishing highly complex clinical studies on nanotechnology and advanced intranasal drug delivery systems for central nervous system disorders in top-tier pharmacological journals.
