Dr Vidhi Vaghasiya

MD Radiation Oncology
Radiation Oncologist | Bhavnagar, Gujarat

I am a Radiation Oncologist trained at The Gujarat Cancer & Research Institute (GCRI) / Civil Hospital, Ahmedabad, with experience across high-volume tertiary cancer care, advanced radiotherapy, stereotactic techniques, brachytherapy, academic teaching, and departmental leadership.

My clinical practice focuses on evidence-based cancer management, precision radiotherapy, brachytherapy, stereotactic radiotherapy, multidisciplinary decision-making, toxicity management, and structured follow-up.

Patients and referring doctors may consult for:

• Newly diagnosed cancer – assessment, staging review and treatment guidance

• Second opinion – review of diagnosis, pathology, imaging and proposed treatment

• Post-surgery assessment – evaluation for the need and timing of radiotherapy

• Pre-radiotherapy consultation – treatment preparation, counselling and optimization before RT

• Radiotherapy planning review – review of treatment approach, dose, technique and planning considerations

• During-radiotherapy care – assessment and management of treatment-related side effects

• Post-treatment follow-up – surveillance, recovery assessment and management of late effects

• Palliative oncology consultation – assessment of pain, bleeding, bone metastases, neurological or compressive symptoms

• Supportive care – nutrition, dental care, physiotherapy, rehabilitation and symptom management

• Care coordination & referral – guidance regarding appropriate oncology specialists and radiotherapy centres when treatment is required
