About Dr. Nitesh Rohatgi
With over twenty-six years in the oncology field, Dr. Nitesh Rohatgi doesn’t just treat the tumor; he treats the actual human going through the process. Did his medical training in Delhi before heading to the UK, where he picked up his MRCP, FRCP, and a CCT from the Leeds Teaching Hospitals. He even grabbed a Master’s degree in Medical Education from Dundee University.
His biggest impact is his absolute obsession with a patient’s Quality of Life (QOL). During his time in the UK, he led the QOL group to aggressively manage chemotherapy toxicities. He authored the clinical guidelines on how to handle neutropenic sepsis and severe nausea. Was even invited as a visiting physician to the famous MD Anderson Cancer Center in the US just to share his insights on cancer patient psychology.
