Dr. Priya Tiwari — Director Medical Oncology and Hemato-oncology in Delhi NCR

Dr. Priya Tiwari is Director Medical Oncology and Hemato-oncology at Medanta - The Medicity in Delhi NCR, with more than 20 years of experience. Her listed specialization is medical oncology and her qualifications are MBBS, MD and DM.

Her procedure list is organised around the two questions a systemic oncologist has to answer: which drug, and with what intent. Adjuvant chemotherapy and palliative chemotherapy separate treatment given to prevent a recurrence from treatment given to control advanced disease. Molecular targeted therapy and biomarker-based targeted therapy cover the drugs chosen from the tumour's own profile rather than from its site. Immunotherapy for solid tumors, hormone therapy for breast cancer and hormonal therapy for gynaecologic cancers complete the range.

Her postgraduate training was taken entirely at AIIMS. She read MBBS at JMI and BHU, took MD in medicine at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, and stayed there for DM in medical oncology. She is affiliated with Medanta - The Medicity in Gurugram.

Her student record is among the strongest a profile can carry. She won the gold medal for the maximum marks in the MBBS final examination, the Bhagwan Das Thakur Das gold medal for standing first in that examination in 2006, the Prof I.K. Agarwal gold medal for the highest marks in medicine, and a 100% university prize for the highest marks in MBBS. She had already placed second in 2004, and in 2006 she received the Sudisha Award for best outgoing female candidate at the Institute of Medical Sciences.

She was certified as an ESMO medical oncologist in 2015, the same year she held travel grants for the ESMO immunotherapy preceptorship in Lund, Sweden and for ESMO Asia in Singapore.
