Dr. Geeta Kadayaprath is Breast Surgical Oncologist and Currently Working as Principal Lead - Apollo Athenaa Women's Cancer Centre in the Breast Surgical Oncology & Oncoplastic Surgery Department at Apollo Athenaa Women's Cancer Centre, Defence Colony, New Delhi, India.
She is having more than 30 years of experience in the field of breast surgical oncology.
She has completed her MBBS from Lady Hardinge Medical College, New Delhi in 1993, MS (General Surgery) from Maulana Azad Medical College, New Delhi in 1997 and FRCS, followed by a Clinical Research Fellowship in the Breast Unit of the Royal Marsden Hospital, London in 2004.
Profile Highlights :
- Prof. Dr. Geeta Kadayaprath is one of Delhi's leading breast cancer surgeons, with a practice centred on removing cancer completely while preserving the form and function of the breast. Before joining Apollo, she was Principal Director and Head of Breast Surgical Oncology at the Max Institute of Cancer Care (Patparganj, Vaishali and Noida) from 2014 to 2024, and Senior Consultant in Breast Surgical Oncology at Max Super Speciality Hospital from 2009 to 2014. Earlier she was a Consultant at Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute, New Delhi (2004-2009), and held Junior Consultant and Senior Registrar posts at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals and a Senior Residency at MAMC.
- Her areas of expertise include breast conservation surgery, oncoplastic surgery, breast reconstruction, sentinel lymph node biopsy and axillary conservation, lumpectomy, modified radical mastectomy and the management of benign and high-risk breast conditions. Oncoplastic techniques combine cancer removal with plastic surgery principles so that the breast keeps a natural shape, while sentinel node biopsy allows many women to avoid a full axillary clearance and its side effects such as arm swelling.
- She is an active academic and researcher. She leads the National Steering Committee in India for the EUBREAST-sponsored AXSANA trial, was Program Director of the Breast Surgical Oncology Fellowship at Max Hospital, serves as Indian Faculty for the MCh Oncoplasty programme of the University of East Anglia, and was Principal Investigator of the Hospital-Based Cancer Registry Program at Max Hospital, Patparganj. She has around 33 publications and trials to her credit, including studies on sentinel lymph node biopsy and breast reconstruction outcomes, and has served as investigator on multicentre trials with Tata Memorial Centre.
- She is Vice President and former Secretary of the Oncology Forum, an Executive Member of the Indian Association of Surgical Oncologists, Founder Member and Honorary Secretary of the Delhi Breast Oncology Group, and a past executive member of the Association of Breast Surgeons of India and the Indian Society of Oncology.
