About Dr. Akshay Tiwari
Dr. Akshay Tiwari has been doing bone cancer surgery for over twenty years now. And most people reaching him either found bone tumors after pain wouldn’t quit, or soft tissue lumps that turned out to be cancerous. He works on benign bone growths to aggressive cancers, where keeping the limb instead of amputation becomes the goal.
Dr. Tiwari started Delhi-NCR’s first unit dealing only with bone and soft tissue cancers. He uses navigation tech during surgery to remove tumors precisely without damaging healthy tissue around them. He focuses on doing limb salvage where metal implants replace removed bone sections, so people keep their limbs, and also performs internal hemipelvectomy. He got trained in Italy and Mumbai, learning advanced tumor removal methods, and did over 2,000 surgeries for bone and soft tissue tumors.

Patient Experience & Approach
Patients say Dr. Tiwari discusses bone cancer treatment without jumping to amputation when the limb can be saved. When someone’s bone has a tumor, he explains limb salvage options and what living with metal implants means.
Families with kids facing bone cancer appreciate that he’s handled pediatric cases where growth and future function matter. Those who got limb salvage mention that keeping their arm or leg functional changed everything compared to losing it. His navigation tech focus means tumors get removed completely while saving normal bone and tissue.
