Proud to be part of the Mega Medical Camp organised by ONGC Rajahmundry Asset in association with STAR Hospitals, Hyderabad. A wonderful multidisciplinary effort bringing specialist care, preventive screening and early detection closer to the community! 🩺

💥 Chemotherapy is like carpet bombing — it attacks rapidly dividing cells, including cancer cells and some healthy cells
🎯 Targeted therapy is like a sniper attack — focusing on specific molecular abnormalities driving cancer growth.
🔬 Welcome to the era of precision oncology!
🚨 THINK EVEN A LITTLE ALCOHOL IS SAFE? THINK AGAIN.
Alcohol is a known carcinogen. Even low consumption can increase cancer risk.
There is no established risk-free threshold for alcohol-related cancer
As an oncologist, my message is simple:
No alcohol https://t.co/ERVwOuNihU
A successful STAR HEMATOCON! 🌟
An enriching academic gathering with eminent national faculty, expert discussions, great learning, and meaningful knowledge sharing.
Above all, a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with friends and colleagues from across the country
Great science
Advanced cancer care must reach beyond metro cities! 🎗️
Today, I interacted with doctors at IMA Jadcherla on making oncology advances accessible and affordable through evidence-based low-dose immunotherapy strategies and pharmacodynamic interactions.
Innovation matters
A rewarding academic experience at the 10th Annual International Precision Oncology & Breast Cancer Conference 2026 in Jaipur!
🎤 Moderated discussions on:
🔹 Oligometastatic lung cancer
🔹 Immunotherapy in recurrent/metastatic head & neck cancer
Excellent scientific exchange.
🎀 Every step counts in the fight against breast cancer!
Glad to participate in today's Pink Ribbon Walk at STAR Hospitals, Hyderabad, during Breast Cancer Awareness Week 2026.
Let's break the stigma, promote early detection & encourage timely screening.
💗 Early Detection
🎀 Proud to share that my article on breast cancer awareness was published in Surya, a Telugu daily, on 24 October 2026.
This #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth, let's take the message beyond hospitals and into every home.
💗 Early detection. Timely diagnosis. Better outcomes.
🌟 Proud to announce STAR HAEMATOCON 2026, organised by STAR Hospitals, STAR Haematology Centre & STAR Cancer Centre!
🩸 Advancing Haematology. Transforming Lives.

Leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma, BMT & CAR-T therapy — bringing experts.
📰 Featured in The Sunday Times, Times of India!
A young mother with Stage IV breast cancer achieved a complete response with personalised hormonal and targeted therapy—without conventional chemotherapy.
Precision medicine. Individualised care. Hope backed by science.
A 42-year-old woman notices a breast lump but delays seeing a doctor.
Not because she doesn't know better—but because she fears what a cancer diagnosis might mean for her family, career and social life.
What if stigma delays diagnosis more than lack of awareness?
🎀 Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Stigma should never stand between a woman and her health.
Talk about breast health. Know your risk. Come forward for appropriate screening. Don’t ignore warning signs.
Break the stigma. Early detection saves lives.

A fantastic experience at the 3rd CanCure Conference, Visakhapatnam! 🔬
🎯 CLL: Fixed-duration therapy — Hope, not hype!
🧬 Moderated R/R DLBCL & CAR-T session
💊 2 cases of mCSPC demonstrating treatment without chemotherapy
Congratulations Dr. Dev Ramavat.

This Gandhi Jayanti 🇮🇳, saluting Captain Smit Machchhar for his reported courage in averting a hijacking attempt.
From the cockpit to the clinic, courage, duty & service save lives.
Remembering Bapu’s values. Proud to be Indian! Jai Hind! 🇮🇳
🚨 Viral health advice is not medical expertise.
A recent Hyderabad case reported in the media highlights the potential risks of restrictive diets promoted without appropriate medical oversight.
⚠️ Never stop insulin or prescribed medicines based on influencer advice. Unproven cancer diets can delay effective treatment.
Verify credentials. Question miracle cures. Follow evidence.
Your health is not an experiment.
— Dr. Santosh Kumar Chellapuram

Apple took years to remove the crease.
Cancer care has also taken years of innovation to move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach.
Today we have: 🧬 Earlier detection
🎯 Targeted therapies
🛡️ Immunotherapy
🔬 Molecular profiling
❤️ Better supportive care
The message: don’t wait for cancer to become complicated.
Know your risk. Screen appropriately. Seek medical advice early.
Innovation changes technology. Innovation also changes cancer care.

Carboplatin as a pragmatic PARPi alternative in resource-limited settings?
The CIPHER phase II study provides prospective data in HRR-altered mCRPC:
🔹 PSA50 response 41%
🔹 ORR 25.6%
🔹 Median rPFS 4.53 months
🔹 BRCA1/2 ORR 35.3%
Particularly relevant where PARPi access is limited by cost.
Not a head-to-head comparison with PARPi, and toxicity remains important — grade ≥3 AEs in 59%, mainly haematological.
A clinically relevant study addressing not just biology, but access and equity in precision oncology.

Honoured to present a challenging real-world case at ISMPOCON under “Lessons Beyond the Textbook.”
The tumour showed a remarkable response to treatment—but the clinical story did not end there.
Despite tumour response, hypoglycaemia persisted, forcing us to step back and ask: Are we looking at a treatment-related issue, a paraneoplastic phenomenon, a post-surgical/metabolic cause, an immune-mediated process, or something entirely different?
The case was less about finding a quick answer and more about how we approach uncertainty when the expected clinical trajectory doesn't match what we see in front of us.
It brought together three things I value deeply in oncology:
clinical reasoning, patient perspective & humility in the face of unanswered questions.
Grateful to the ISMPOCON organisers, chairpersons, fellow panelists and colleagues for the opportunity to discuss, debate and learn.
Sometimes the tumour gives us the answer—but the patient gives us the question.
