Finding the right ovarian cancer doctors in Bangalore starts with knowing which specialists you need. Ovarian cancer is usually treated by a small team: a cancer surgeon with experience in gynaecological cancers, a medical oncologist, and the pathologists and radiologists who confirm the diagnosis. At Oncare's Bengaluru centres, these specialists review your case together and plan treatment around your reports, stage, and health.
Bring your reports, and we will explain your options and give you a cost estimate.
For most ovarian cancers, surgery is a key part of treatment. The surgeon reviews your scans and blood tests (including CA-125) and explains whether surgery should come first, or whether neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery suits you better.
The operation may include removing the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus, the omentum and affected lymph nodes, and any visible disease in the abdomen. This is called staging surgery or cytoreductive (debulking) surgery. For some younger women with early-stage disease, fertility-sparing surgery that keeps one ovary and the uterus may be possible. Read about fertility options before treatment.
When choosing an ovarian cancer specialist in Bangalore, ask how often they perform this surgery, whether your case will be reviewed at a tumour board, and how recovery will be supported. Read about recovery after ovarian cancer surgery.
Ovarian cancer symptoms are often vague and easy to mistake for digestive problems. See a doctor if any of these happen on most days for more than two to three weeks:
Most of these symptoms are caused by conditions other than cancer, but only tests can tell. Seeing a specialist early avoids delay.
There is no screening test proven to find ovarian cancer early in women at average risk, so routine screening is not recommended for everyone. Testing is advised if you have symptoms, or if you have a higher risk because of a BRCA1/BRCA2 gene change, Lynch syndrome or a strong family history of ovarian or breast cancer.
Tests your doctor may arrange include:
Read more about screening and how ovarian cancer is diagnosed.
Scans, CA-125, and biopsy, followed by staging (stage 1 to 4) that guides treatment. Learn about the types of ovarian cancer and about stage 1, stage 3, and stage 4 disease.
Staging surgery, cytoreductive (debulking) surgery and, where suitable, fertility-sparing or laparoscopic surgery.
Usually platinum-based chemotherapy, given after surgery, or before and after surgery for advanced disease.
For some patients, PARP inhibitors (especially with a BRCA mutation) or bevacizumab may be used after chemotherapy to help keep the cancer under control. Your medical oncologist will explain whether these suit you.
Heated chemotherapy given inside the abdomen during surgery (HIPEC) may be considered for selected patients with advanced ovarian cancer
Help with side effects, nutrition, fluid build-up in the abdomen, and emotional well-being.

There is no single doctor who suits every patient. Look for a surgical oncologist who regularly operates on ovarian cancer, works with a medical oncologist, and check their qualifications and registration. Ask whether your case will be reviewed by a team, and consider a second opinion.
Oncare's surgical, medical and radiation oncologists who treat ovarian cancer are listed above with their qualifications, and they consult across our four Bengaluru centres. Call your nearest centre to confirm which doctor sees patients there and on which days.
A team does. A surgical oncologist with gynaecological cancer experience (gynaecologic oncologist) performs the surgery, and a medical oncologist plans chemotherapy and targeted therapy. A pathologist, radiologist and genetic counsellor support them.
Bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, needing to pass urine often, and changes in bowel habit, especially when they happen on most days for more than two to three weeks. These symptoms usually have other causes, but they should be checked.
For some younger women with early-stage disease, fertility-sparing surgery that keeps one ovary and the uterus may be possible. Discuss fertility options, including egg or embryo freezing, with your doctor before treatment starts.
Gynaecologist first for symptoms. Once a scan or biopsy suggests cancer, switch to a surgical oncologist with gynae-oncology experience.
Roughly ₹5–18 lakh for surgery plus chemotherapy, depending on stage. Ask for a written estimate covering both.
