Dr. Rajeev Agarwal is a legendary figure in surgical oncology, with a distinguished career spanning over 45 years. He is widely recognized as the pioneer who introduced the concept of organ-based oncology specialization in Northern India. Having performed more than 5,000 successful breast surgeries, he is a master of breast conservation and oncoplastic reconstruction, dedicated to preserving both the health and the aesthetic well-being of his patients.

Dr. Rajeev Agarwal is celebrated for transitioning Indian oncology from general surgery to specialized, organ-focused care. His training at the nation’s top cancer institutes has shaped his “patient-first” surgical philosophy.

  • A National Pioneer: Dr. Agarwal was instrumental in establishing surgical oncology as a distinct practice in the private sector of Northern India. He was one of the first surgeons in the country to focus exclusively on breast health and oncoplastic techniques.
  • Master of Conservation: His surgical hallmark is Breast Conservation Surgery. He specializes in “keyhole” techniques and sentinel node biopsies to ensure that cancer is removed while minimizing physical trauma and avoiding the removal of the entire breast whenever possible.
  • Global Academician: An inductee to the European Society of Medical Oncology (ESMO), he is a sought-after speaker at international conferences. In 2004, he was an invited faculty at the Vatican, Rome, where he presented a landmark paper on palliative care.
  • Palliative Care Advocate: Beyond surgery, he is deeply committed to the quality of life for terminal patients, providing voluntary services to hospice centers like Shanti Avedna Sadan.

Dr. Agarwal leads the Department of Breast Services and the Soft Tissue Tumor service at Medanta, offering a full spectrum of oncological solutions.

Conditions & Diseases Treated:

  • Breast Cancer: All stages, including Triple-Negative and Inflammatory Breast Cancer.
  • Benign Breast Diseases: Management of non-palpable lumps, cysts, and nipple discharge.
  • Soft Tissue Tumors: Sarcomas of the skin, muscle, and connective tissues.
  • High-Risk Screening: Genetic risk assessment and preventative care for hereditary breast cancer.
  • Male Breast Cancer: Specialized treatment for often-overlooked male breast conditions.

Specialized Procedures:

  • Breast Conservation Surgery (BCS): Removing the tumor while preserving the natural breast.
  • Oncoplastic Breast Surgery: Combining cancer resection with plastic surgery to ensure the best cosmetic outcome.
  • Sentinel Node Biopsy (SNB): A precision technique to check cancer spread, reducing the risk of arm swelling (Lymphedema).
  • Breast Reconstruction: Immediate or delayed reconstruction using implants or the patientโ€™s own tissue.
  • Management of Non-Palpable Lumps: Utilizing wire-guided or radio-guided localization for precise removal of hidden tumors.
