Why Patients Choose Dr. Ekta Vala - Cancer Specialist in Ahmedabad
When you are facing a cancer diagnosis, you want more than just a prescription. You want a doctor who sees you as a person, not just a patient file. Here is why hundreds of patients across Gujarat trust Dr. Ekta Vala Chandarana:
Expertise you can trust. Dr. Ekta is a trained Medical Oncologist with deep expertise in the cancers most commonly affecting women and adults in Gujarat — breast cancer, cervical cancer, and lung cancer. She stays current with the latest international treatment guidelines so that you receive the best possible care.
She speaks your language. Dr. Ekta consults in Gujarati, Hindi, and English — so you can explain your symptoms and concerns exactly as you feel them, without struggling to translate. This matters more than most people realise.
Clear, honest communication. Cancer brings many difficult questions. Dr. Ekta answers them all honestly — about prognosis, about treatment side effects, about cost, and about what to realistically expect at each stage.
Ahmedabad’s central location. Dr. Ekta’s clinic is easily reachable from Surat, Vadodara, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, and other major cities in Gujarat. Many patients from smaller towns come to Ahmedabad specifically to consult with her.
Second opinions welcome. Already diagnosed elsewhere and unsure about your treatment plan? Dr. Ekta regularly provides cancer second opinions and many patients have found that a second consultation gave them clarity, confidence, and sometimes a different treatment path entirely.
Conditions Treated by Dr. Ekta Vala — Oncologist in Ahmedabad
Dr. Ekta Vala Chandarana is a medical oncologist and hemato-oncologist in Ahmedabad who treats the full spectrum of cancer types — from common solid tumours to complex blood cancers. Below are the key conditions managed at her Ahmedabad clinic at Medisquare Superspeciality Hospital.
Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in India. Dr. Ekta Vala diagnoses and treats all stages of breast cancer — from early-stage tumours to locally advanced and metastatic breast cancer.
She works with patients on chemotherapy planning, targeted therapy (for HER2-positive breast cancer), hormone therapy, and follow-up care after surgery. If you have found a lump, noticed a skin change, or have a family history of breast cancer, do not wait. Early diagnosis saves lives.
Symptoms to watch for: A painless lump in the breast or armpit, nipple discharge, skin dimpling, or changes in breast size or shape. Many breast cancer lumps are painless — which is exactly why they get ignored for too long.
Cervical Cancer
Cervical cancer is almost entirely preventable — and when caught early, it is highly treatable. Dr. Ekta Vala offers cervical cancer screening, HPV vaccination guidance, and full treatment planning for women diagnosed with cervical cancer in Gujarat.
Many women in Ahmedabad and across Gujarat are unaware of the importance of regular Pap smear tests. Dr. Ekta strongly advocates for annual screening for all women above 25 years of age.
Symptoms to watch for: Abnormal vaginal bleeding (especially after intercourse), unusual discharge, or pelvic pain. These symptoms should never be ignored.
Lung Cancer
Lung cancer is rising rapidly across India — and not just among smokers. Air pollution across Gujarat’s industrial cities is a growing contributing factor. Dr. Ekta Vala is experienced in diagnosing and treating both small cell and non-small cell lung cancer, including advanced cases treated with immunotherapy and targeted therapy.
Symptoms to watch for: A persistent cough that won’t go away, coughing up blood, unexplained weight loss, breathlessness, or chest pain. If you or a family member has any of these symptoms — especially combined with a history of smoking or exposure to industrial air — please get checked immediately.
Blood Cancer (Leukaemia and Lymphoma)
Dr. Ekta also treats patients with blood cancers including leukaemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma. If you or a loved one has received a blood cancer diagnosis and wants a specialist consultation or second opinion in Ahmedabad, Dr. Ekta can help.
Cancer Second Opinion — Ahmedabad
If you have already been diagnosed with cancer but are unsure about the recommended treatment — or if you feel your questions are not being answered fully — a second opinion from Dr. Ekta Vala can give you clarity and confidence.
Many patients who come for a second opinion discover alternative treatment options, more affordable approaches, or simply feel reassured that their current plan is correct. Either way, you leave with more clarity than you came with.
Second opinion consultations are available for all cancer types.
Cancer treatment is more than a medical procedure; it’s a partnership between the patient and the healthcare team. My philosophy revolves around empowering patients with knowledge and support, helping them to make informed decisions about their care.
Cancer treatment Offered by Dr Ekta Vala - Medical Oncologist in Ahmedabad
Dr. Ekta Vala offers the full range of modern medical oncology treatments: As a leading cancer specialist in Ahmedabad, she specialize in delivering personalized treatment plans for patients across all cancer types, including breast, lung, cervical, and hematologic cancers.
Chemotherapy — Chemotherapy uses medicines to destroy cancer cells. Dr. Ekta guides patients through every cycle — explaining what to expect, how to manage side effects, and what progress looks like. Chemotherapy is available in Ahmedabad both in government and private hospitals.
Immunotherapy — Immunotherapy helps your body’s own immune system fight cancer. It is now used as a first-line treatment for several cancers including lung cancer, some types of breast cancer, and more. Dr. Ekta is experienced in immunotherapy protocols and helps patients understand whether they are eligible.
Targeted Therapy — Unlike chemotherapy which affects all rapidly dividing cells, targeted therapy attacks specific cancer cells. It is often used for HER2-positive breast cancer, EGFR-mutant lung cancer, and several other cancer types. Dr. Ekta will assess your biopsy reports to determine if targeted therapy is the right option for you.
Hormone Therapy — Used primarily in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer. Dr. Ekta advises patients on hormone therapy as part of their long-term cancer management plan.
Cancer Treatment Cost Guidance — Dr. Ekta regularly helps families understand the realistic cost of cancer treatment in Ahmedabad and Gujarat, including what is covered under health insurance, what government schemes are available, and how to plan financially without compromising on quality of care.

What is the difference between a Medical Oncologist and a Surgeon?
A Medical Oncologist like Dr. Ekta Vala specialises in treating cancer using medicines — chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, and hormone therapy. A surgical oncologist performs cancer surgery. Many cancer patients need both, and Dr. Ekta coordinates with surgical teams to ensure you receive complete, well-planned care.
How do I know if I need to see an oncologist?
You should consult an oncologist if you have been diagnosed with cancer, if a biopsy has come back positive, if you have a strong family history of cancer, or if you are experiencing symptoms that your general doctor suspects may be related to cancer. You can also consult Dr. Ekta for a second opinion on an existing diagnosis.
Is cancer treatment available in Ahmedabad at affordable cost?
Yes. Ahmedabad has both government and private cancer treatment facilities. Dr. Ekta Vala helps patients understand all their options — including government hospital chemotherapy, insurance coverage, and how to access quality treatment within their budget.
Can I get a cancer second opinion from Dr. Ekta even if I was diagnosed elsewhere?
Absolutely. Second opinion consultations are available and encouraged. Bring your biopsy reports, scan reports, and previous prescription. Dr. Ekta will review everything carefully and give you an honest, independent assessment.
Does Dr. Ekta treat patients from Surat, Vadodara, or other Gujarat cities?
Yes. Many of Dr. Ekta’s patients travel from Surat, Vadodara, Gandhinagar, Rajkot, Anand, and other Gujarat cities. Ahmedabad is easily accessible by road and rail, and Dr. Ekta’s team can help coordinate appointments around your travel.
What should I bring to my first oncology consultation?
Bring all available reports — biopsy reports, blood test results, CT scans, MRI, PET scans, and any previous prescriptions or treatment summaries. The more information you bring, the more useful your first consultation will be.
How long does a cancer consultation with Dr. Ekta take?
Initial consultations typically take 30–45 minutes. Dr. Ekta takes time to understand your full history, review all reports, and explain the diagnosis and treatment options in detail. Follow-up consultations are shorter.

Yes. Immunotherapy is available in Ahmedabad at select hospitals and oncology centres. Dr. Ekta Vala can advise you on whether immunotherapy is appropriate for your cancer type and arrange the treatment.
