North India's 1st robotic breast cancer surgeon

Breast cancer shouldn't mean losing your breast.

Dr Mandeep Singh Malhotra

Surgical & Molecular Oncology · Everhope, Gurugram

No two breast cancers are the same. Neither should be your treatment.

Everhope's precision oncology makes four things possible at the same time — not one at the cost of another.

A higher chance of breast preservation

Oncoplastic and nipple-sparing surgery, with reconstruction in the same operation.

A higher probability of survival

A full tumour board reviews your case before anyone operates.

Fewer side effects, shorter recovery

Profiling rules out therapies your tumour was never going to answer.

A lower chance of it returning

Clear margins and molecular profiling guide what follows surgery.

Everhope's breast cancer treatment

What modern breast cancer surgery is able to preserve

The breastConserved and reshaped rather than removed, wherever the tumour allows.
The nippleNipple-sparing approaches keep the nipple and areola intact.
The shapeReshaped in the same operation, so it looks like a breast, not a repair.
Your timeOne operation instead of two. A shorter stay, a quicker return.
A first in North India

Robotic breast cancer surgery

Dr Malhotra performed the first robot-assisted autologous tissue breast reconstruction in India — one of several approaches here, and the right one for some cancers rather than all.

Before you operate

Surgery cannot be undone.

If a breast-conserving approach was possible in your case, that ends the moment the operation happens. One appointment tells you whether it was ever on the table.

One appointment

Bring your biopsy report and imaging. A review can usually happen within a few days.

The things women ask us first

Will I be able to keep my breast?

Often, yes. It depends on the size of the tumour relative to your breast and where it sits. Dr Malhotra can usually answer from your imaging and biopsy report at the first appointment.

Can my nipple be preserved?

Where the tumour is not close to the nipple or the overlying skin, nipple-sparing approaches are often possible. Your imaging usually shows this before surgery.

What if I already have a surgery date somewhere else?

It is worth one appointment first. If a breast-conserving approach was possible in your case, that possibility ends the moment the operation happens. A review can usually be arranged within a few days.

Is reconstruction done at the same time?

Where it is suitable, yes — the breast is rebuilt during the same operation the cancer is removed in. One admission, one anaesthetic, one recovery, rather than a second surgery months later.

How long is the recovery?

It depends on the procedure and whether reconstruction is done at the same time. Smaller incisions generally mean a shorter hospital stay and a quicker return to daily activity than an open mastectomy.

Will I need chemotherapy as well?

It depends on the stage and biology of your tumour — which is why every case goes to the full team rather than being decided by the surgeon alone. Molecular profiling can sometimes show that chemotherapy is not needed.

I am already on treatment elsewhere. Is it too late to come?

Usually not. Many people come to us partway through, particularly when a first-line treatment has not produced the response everyone hoped for. You do not have to move your entire care to get a second reading.

What does this mean for my daughters and sisters?

Some breast cancers carry an inherited component. Where family history or the tumour's profile suggests it, genetic testing and counselling for close relatives can be arranged, along with a screening plan.

Can I send my reports before booking?

Yes, and we'd prefer it. Add them when you book and the care team will review them before you arrive, so the appointment is spent on decisions rather than on paperwork.

Do you accept my insurance or CGHS?

Empanelled TPAs and government panel status are confirmed before you come in. If your cover doesn't apply here, we'll say so up front.

What happens in the 30-minute consultation?

Dr Mandeep reads your reports before you arrive, so the time is spent on decisions. He tells you which surgical options apply in your case and which do not, what the likely timeline is, and what has to happen before surgery. You leave with a written next step.

Where exactly is the clinic, and is there parking?

Everhope Oncology, ground and first floor, EBD 65, Golf Course Extension Road, Sector 65, Gurugram. Parking is on site, and there is attendant seating in the day-care area.

What should I bring with me?

Your biopsy or histopathology report, any mammogram, ultrasound, PET, CT or MRI films, receptor or IHC report, and a summary of any treatment so far. If something is missing, come anyway — the team will tell you what to arrange.

Can a family member come with me?

Yes, and we would encourage it. Most people take in more of the conversation when somebody else is listening too. There is seating for attendants throughout.

How soon can I get an appointment?

You choose the slot yourself at the end of the assessment, from what is actually available. If your situation is urgent, say so on the form and the team will try to bring it forward.

Can I reschedule or cancel?

Yes. You can move or cancel your appointment from the confirmation message, or by calling the centre. There is no penalty for changing your mind.

Is the consultation fee adjusted against treatment?

The consultation fee is separate from treatment costs. Indicative treatment costs and your insurance position are confirmed by the care team before anything is committed.

Do you offer video consultations?

For breast surgery decisions an in-person examination matters, so the first consultation is at the centre. If you are travelling from far away, tell the team when you book and they will help plan the visit.
