Introduction
Dr. B. Niranjan Naik is the Senior Director of Breast & GI Onco-Surgery at Fortis Memorial Research Institute.

About Dr. B. Niranjan Naik
Dr. B. Niranjan Naik has been doing cancer surgery since 1996. Over twelve thousand complex onco-surgical procedures done with his own hands. That sort of number over twenty-eight years means he’s operated on cancers that most surgical oncologists will read about in journals but rarely see on their table.
He did his MS in General Surgery from AIIMS, New Delhi. Then stayed on at the Institute Rotary Cancer Hospital at AIIMS for advanced onco-surgery training. That AIIMS-IRCH pipeline is brutal, but it builds a very particular kind of cancer surgeon. One who has seen massive tumour volumes from the very beginning of training. Also holds FIAGES for gastrointestinal endo-surgery work.

Patient Experience & Approach
Breast cancer patients say that Dr. B. Niranjan Naik’s conversation was pushed when safely possible instead of defaulting to mastectomy out of caution. Those who had laparoscopic or robotic removal mention they were up and moving days earlier than traditional open surgery patients. His AIIMS-IRCH background shows in how methodically staging gets done before any blade touches the patient.
