Dr. Shiva Kumar Uppala is one of the best cancer specialist doctors in India. He is a skilled surgical oncologist in Bangalore with more than a thousand successful surgeries under his belt. According to him, an oncosurgeon should treat a patient holistically rather than focusing only on one organ. He firmly opines that since the need of each patient is different, it is mandatory to conduct individual assessments and provide patient-specific treatment. A surgeon should consider certain key factors before deciding on a treatment plan such as the patient’s age, gender, socioeconomic status, current health status, possible outcome, and probable side effects.
