Dr Harsh Shah, MS, MCh (Surgical Gastroenterology), DrNB (Surgical Gastroenterology), is a Gastro, Cancer & Laparoscopic Surgeon. He operates at Dr. Jivraj Mehta Hospital, Vasna, Ahmedabad and sees patients at Dr. Jivraj Mehta Hospital, Vasna, Ahmedabad. This page brings together the cancers of the digestive system that he treats with surgery, so you can go straight to the one that concerns you or your family member.
The cancers covered here are food pipe (oesophagus) cancer, stomach cancer, liver cancer, gallbladder cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer and rectal cancer. When cancer has spread over the inner lining of the abdomen, cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC is considered for selected patients.
The right approach depends on the stage of the cancer, where exactly it sits and how fit the patient is; for some patients open surgery remains the safer choice, and that is explained at the consultation.
Before surgery, each plan is discussed at the tumour board with medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists and pathologists, so that any chemotherapy or radiation given before or after the operation is timed correctly.
What to bring to the first visit: the biopsy report, CT, PET or MRI reports with their CDs, the endoscopy report, recent blood tests including tumour markers, and a list of the medicines you take.
If an operation has already been advised elsewhere, a second opinion on your reports is welcome. To book at Dr. Jivraj Mehta Hospital, Vasna, call +91 63555 64601 or message on WhatsApp.
