About Dr. Anil Thakwani
Dr. Anil Thakwani has been treating cancers for more than twenty-five years, and most patients coming to him either just got diagnosed and need a radiation plan or already had surgery and need post-operative radiation to kill remaining cells. He works on straightforward radiation courses to extremely precise stereotactic treatments.
Dr. Anil uses machines like TrueBeam STX and Halcyon to deliver IMRT, IGRT, and SBRT treatments where radiation gets shaped precisely around the tumor. Beyond radiation, he also manages chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and targeted therapy, so patients don’t need to run between three different oncologists. Treated patients from over fifty countries, which tells you about the trust international patients place in his work. Previously worked at Batra Cancer Hospital, Jaypee Hospital, and AIIMS.

Patient Experience & Approach
Patients say Dr. Thakwani explains radiation treatment without making it sound terrifying. Shows exactly where the beam targets the tumor and why surrounding organs stay safe with modern machines. Families dealing with brain tumors appreciate that he discusses Gamma Knife as a no-cut option when surgery feels too risky. International patients say the language barrier never became an issue because his team handles cases from dozens of countries routinely.
