When to see a cancer doctor in Thane
Most of these signs turn out to be harmless. The point is to find out early, because many cancers are far easier to treat when they are small. Book a visit if any of these has lasted more than two to three weeks.

What does a surgical oncologist in Thane do?
A surgical oncologist is a cancer surgeon. He diagnoses cancer, performs the operation to remove it and plans the overall treatment with medical and radiation oncologists. Dr. Yogesh Bansod holds an M.Ch in Surgical Oncology from Tata Memorial Hospital and consults patients from Thane for cancers of the digestive tract, breast, lung, women's organs, urinary system and soft tissues.
How is a surgical oncologist different from an oncologist?
"Oncologist" is a broad word. A medical oncologist treats cancer with drugs such as chemotherapy, a radiation oncologist uses radiotherapy, and a surgical oncologist operates. Most cancers need more than one of these, so a surgical oncologist works as part of a team and coordinates the plan.
How do I find a cancer specialist near me in Thane?
Look for a specialist who has formal cancer-surgery training, works with a multidisciplinary tumour board, and is attached to a hospital with full cancer facilities. Dr. Bansod consults in Thane and operates at Bombay Hospital, Marine Lines and Kokilaben Hospital, Navi Mumbai, which are both reachable from Thane.
When should I see a cancer doctor?
See a specialist without delay if you notice a lump that persists, bleeding that is unusual, a cough lasting more than three weeks, a lasting change in bowel habit, unexplained weight loss, or if a scan or biopsy suggests cancer.
Do I need a referral to book an appointment?
No. You can book directly. If you already have scans, biopsy reports or a diagnosis from another doctor, please bring them, as they save time and help avoid repeat tests.
Is a second opinion useful before cancer surgery?
Yes. A second opinion is a normal and sensible step. It confirms the diagnosis, checks that the proposed plan matches current evidence and gives you the confidence to proceed.
Does Dr. Bansod perform robotic and laparoscopic cancer surgery?
Yes. Minimally invasive laparoscopic and robotic-assisted surgery are offered to suitable patients. Whether they are appropriate depends on the type and stage of the cancer and your health. Open surgery is chosen when it is the safer route.
What are the consultation timings?
Consultations are available Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Please book an appointment by phone, WhatsApp or the online form so that we can reserve enough time for your case.
