Cancers Treated by Dr. Shivam Shingla
As the best medical oncologist in Kandivali, Dr. Shingla provides expert evaluation and treatment for a wide spectrum of cancers, including:
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Indian women. Dr. Shingla offers comprehensive breast cancer management — from early detection and genetic risk assessment (BRCA testing) to chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy (such as trastuzumab for HER2-positive disease), and coordination with surgical and radiation teams for a multidisciplinary approach. According to the American Cancer Society, early-stage breast cancer has a 5-year survival rate of over 99% with timely treatment.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer requires precise molecular profiling to identify the most effective therapy. Dr. Shingla specialises in managing both non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) using targeted therapies (for EGFR, ALK, ROS1, KRAS mutations), immunotherapy (PD-L1/PD-1 inhibitors), and chemotherapy regimens. The American Lung Association provides further reading on lung cancer types and treatment advances.
Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is increasingly common in India due to dietary and lifestyle changes. Dr. Shingla manages colon and rectal cancers with individualised treatment plans involving chemotherapy combinations (FOLFOX, FOLFIRI), targeted agents (bevacizumab, cetuximab), and immunotherapy for microsatellite instability-high (MSI-H) tumours. He also advises on screening protocols and genetic risk for hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes.
Hematologic Cancers
Blood cancers — including leukaemia, lymphoma (Hodgkin's and Non-Hodgkin's), and multiple myeloma — require specialised expertise in haematological oncology. Dr. Shingla provides comprehensive management of these conditions, including coordination of stem cell transplant evaluation and referral when indicated. The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society offers detailed patient resources on blood cancer treatment.
Other Malignancies
Dr. Shingla also manages cancers of the ovary, cervix, stomach, liver, pancreas, kidney, bladder, thyroid, and head and neck, among others. Each case receives a thorough tumour board-style evaluation to determine the optimal treatment strategy.
