Meet the Top Surgical Oncologists in Chennai Who Are Transforming Cancer Treatment

In the evolving healthcare landscape of Chennai, Veritas Cancer Care has emerged as a centre known for its patient-focused and righteous approach to oncology. Built on strong principles of belief, transparency and ethical conduct, Veritas is redefining how cancer care has evolved through these years, making it accessible, personalised and precise.

The patient journey at Veritas is thoughtfully structured right from consultation through treatment and recovery. At every stage, the focus of the treatment remains on evidence-based decisions, empathetic care and integration of advanced surgical techniques. The Veritas team strives to ensure that patients not only receive world-class treatments but also feel understood, supported and empowered throughout.

Dr. Venkat – Senior Consultant Surgical Oncologist

Dr Venkat is one of Chennai's leading experts in oncology, with more than 20 years of surgical experience. Having performed over 25,000 cancer surgeries, his proficiency spans a broad spectrum of cancers, especially those affecting the gastrointestinal tract, peritoneum and female reproductive system.

Currently practising at Veritas Cancer Care, Apollo Cancer Centre and Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, Dr. Venkat is recognised for pioneering minimally invasive and robotic techniques that help reduce recovery time and improve outcomes. His work in nipple-sparing breast surgeries, flap reconstructions, and natural orifice tumour removal reflects his deep commitment to enhancing patient comfort without compromising on precision.

Dr. Venkat is a recipient of several professional honours and awards and continues to mentor young aspiring surgeons by driving innovation in the field of surgical oncology across India.

Dr. Priya Kapoor – Consultant Surgical Oncologist

With strong academic training and hands-on experience, Dr Priya Kapoor brings a progressive outlook to the world of cancer treatment. Her advanced qualifications include MBBS, MS, DNB and DrNB in Surgical Oncology and certification from the European Board of Surgical Oncology, she brings an approach that blends modern techniques with a deep sense of compassion. Her area of expertise includes HIPEC, PIPAC and robotic procedures focused on treating gastrointestinal, gynaecological and peritoneal cancers. The international expertise through fellowships in France and Taiwan has helped her stay at the forefront of surgical advancements, allowing her to offer world-class care here in India.

Dr. Priya is also actively involved in research, with multiple contributions to global cancer conferences and medical journals — continuously working to improve patient outcomes and treatment protocols.

Why Veritas Stands Out?

Veritas brings together two highly skilled and visionary doctors whose combined experience offers patients the best of both expertise and empathy. The use of advanced tools, modern surgical practices and patient-centric care models ensures better results and faster recoveries, without losing sight of the human side of healing.

At Veritas, every patient receives thoughtful, individualised care, guided not only by science but by integrity. Be it a complex diagnosis or a second opinion, the team is committed to clarity, safety and dignity in every decision.
