About Dr. Jitesh Rajpurohit

Dr. Jitesh Rajpurohit is an exceptionally trained Surgical Oncologist with over 10 years of highly specialized experience in Thoracic, Gastrointestinal (GI), and Gynecological Oncology. He graduated with an MBBS from Dr. Vithalrao Vikhe Patil Foundation's Medical College, going on to earn his MS in General Surgery from the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), Nashik, completed at the historic TNMC & BYL Nair Hospital in Mumbai. He subsequently achieved an MCh in Surgical Oncology from the renowned Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) in Trivandrum, Kerala — widely recognized as one of India's elite oncology institutions.

 

Dr. Rajpurohit stands out among oncological specialists in Mumbai due to his advanced training in complex multi-visceral resections, including Cytoreductive Surgery (CRS) and Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for advanced surface malignancies of the abdomen. His technical proficiency covers Video-Assisted Thoracoscopic Surgery (VATS), offering minimally invasive alternative pathways for esophageal and lung cancers. He further consolidated this specialized practice through an intensive Thoracic Oncology fellowship tenure at Tata Memorial Hospital (TMH), Mumbai.

 

Earlier in his professional path, Dr. Rajpurohit served the Government of Kerala at the Cochin Cancer and Research Centre (CCRC), where he played an instrumental role in successfully establishing the Department of Breast and GI Cancer. Currently, he delivers advanced oncosurgical interventions at the Specialty Surgical Oncology (SSO) Hospital in Ghatkopar, Mumbai, bringing technical acumen and a dedicated academic focus to complicated tumor profiles.

 

My Patient Philosophy

Dr. Rajpurohit believes that optimal oncological surgery demands more than precise anatomical dissection; it requires an integrated strategy built respectfully around the realities of a patient's life. His clinical model balances three core standards: a multi-disciplinary dynamic ensuring no diagnostic or therapeutic step is determined in isolation, a strong commitment to minimally invasive techniques whenever safely aligned with oncological principles, and clear transparency regarding expected treatment horizons. He ensures that every patient entering the operating theater fully understands their condition, their prognosis, and the underlying medical rationale guiding their care pathway.
