About Dr. Swathi Prakash

Professional summary

Dr. Swathi Prakash is a Consultant in breast surgery at the Cancer Centre of Rela Hospital, Chennai, working within surgical oncology, with more than 15 years of experience.

Her practice is devoted to the breast. She performs breast cancer surgery, mastectomy, breast-conserving surgery and oncoplastic breast surgery, and uses sentinel lymph node biopsy for nodal staging. Alongside the cancer surgery she also carries out breast biopsy, fibroadenoma treatment and breast cyst treatment.

She qualified MBBS from Shri Sathya Sai Medical College and Research Institute, Kanchipuram, and took her MS in General Surgery at Govt Kilpauk Medical College and Govt Royapettah Hospital in Chennai. Her MCh is in Breast and Endocrine Surgery, from the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.

Her research compares reconstruction strategies after mastectomy. In a randomized controlled trial she set skin sparing mastectomy with total breast reconstruction using autologous fat grafting against skin sparing mastectomy with silicone implant reconstruction and against breast conservative therapy, measuring quality of life, cosmesis and oncological outcomes in early breast cancer. The results at 34 months of follow-up were presented at the Australasian International Breast Congress in Brisbane.

She has won prizes for three case presentations: a poster on DCIS with lobular cancerization and contralateral axillary metastases at ASOMA in Dehradun in 2022, a collision tumor of the submandibular gland at ASICON in Jaipur in 2017, and a retrosternal goitre at the International College of Surgeons conference on updates of endocrine surgery the same year.

★★★★★

Initially I was very hesitant what to do, where to go for the treatment of my father who was suffering with prostate cancer. Thanks to google, I came into touch with Gaf Healthcare. They have arranged everything, starting from treatment plan, video consultation, airport pickup, to surgery and following up. My father was operated in Sahyadri Pune, robotic prostatectomy was done. Now he is fine.
