Looking for a cancer doctor or tumour specialist? An oncologist is the medical term for a cancer doctor who diagnoses and treats all types of cancer. There are three main types: medical oncologists who manage chemotherapy, surgical oncologists who remove tumours, and radiation oncologists who give radiation therapy. If you or a family member has been diagnosed with cancer, a medical oncologist is usually the first doctor to see. In India, a qualified cancer specialist holds DM (Medical Oncology) or equivalent. For the best outcomes, look for hospitals where cancer doctors work together in multidisciplinary tumour boards, reviewing every case as a team.

Jaipur is Rajasthan's primary healthcare hub, serving patients from across the state and neighbouring Gujarat, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh. The city has seen significant growth in specialist care over the past decade, with a strong network of private hospitals and experienced practitioners covering most major medical specialties. For patients in north-west India, Jaipur is increasingly a preferred alternative to Delhi for specialist consultations.
