Dr. Devavrat Arya — Vice Chairman in Delhi NCR

Dr. Devavrat Arya is Vice Chairman of Medical Oncology at Max Smart Super Speciality Hospital in Saket, Delhi NCR, with more than 21 years of experience.

His treatment list covers chemotherapy for cancer, cancer immunotherapy and targeted therapy, with hormone therapy recorded separately for breast, prostate and gynecologic cancers. Three hormone-sensitive cancer groups named individually rather than grouped together suggests each is handled as its own pathway.

His degrees were taken in three states. He read MBBS at Maulana Azad Medical College under Delhi University, took his M.D. in internal medicine at Government Medical College in Surat under South Gujarat University, and completed his D.M. in medical oncology at Gujarat Cancer and Research Institute and B.J. Medical College in Ahmedabad under Gujarat University. He also holds the European Certificate in Medical Oncology.

Within the Max group he has worked at the Max Institute of Cancer Care in Lajpat Nagar and at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Saket, alongside his present post.

His memberships place him in both the Indian and the international oncology communities: the Indian Co-Operative Oncology Network, the Indian Society of Medical and Paediatric Oncology, the European Society of Medical Oncology, the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the Association of Physicians of India.

His record notes that he has been principal investigator in multiple clinical trials and has multiple national and international publications and presentations. For a patient considering treatment abroad, trial experience matters because it indicates access to drugs before they are widely available.
