Dr. Madhav Danthala, Oncology and BMT specialist, explaining cancer care at his clinic in Hyderabad

I'm a medical oncologist treating the full range of adult cancers — breast, lung, gastrointestinal, gynaecologic, and head & neck tumours — alongside blood cancers. Additional fellowship training in bone marrow transplantation means the most complex cases and everyday cancer care are managed with the same depth.

My foundation is a DM in Medical Oncology from Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad — training that spans the whole spectrum of cancer, solid tumours and blood cancers alike. I then sub-specialised at Vancouver General Hospital, Canada, one of North America's premier centres for stem cell transplantation, layering transplant and cellular-therapy expertise on top of a broad medical-oncology practice.

Today I see patients across solid-tumour and haematological cancers at KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, Begumpet and Peoples Polyclinic, Manikonda — combining day-to-day treatment planning, chemotherapy, targeted and hormonal therapy, and second opinions with the option of advanced cellular therapy when it's needed. My work has also been featured in national media and television.

Bone marrow transplant milestones

  • 300+ transplants performed in Vancouver
  • 300+ transplants performed independently in India
  • First to perform matched-sibling and haplo-identical transplant in Andhra Pradesh
  • Fastest to reach 50 transplants in the region

These sit alongside — not instead of — a full solid-tumour practice and peer-reviewed research across both fields (see publications).

I also offer CAR T-cell therapy and advanced immunotherapies for selected blood and solid cancers. For guidance on choosing an oncologist in Hyderabad, see Best Oncologist in Hyderabad.

What's it like to have me as your Oncologist

A diagnosis changes everything. How you're guided through it should be steady, honest, and built around you. Four things you can count on:

  1. No one-size-fits-all

    Every patient is different — not just in diagnosis, but in priorities, fears, and goals. My role is to walk alongside you with clarity and conviction, helping you navigate a complex journey.

  2. Evidence, never just statistics

    My decisions are rooted in current evidence — but I won't reduce you to a number. If a treatment causes more harm than benefit, or the direction stops matching your values, I'll revisit the plan honestly and transparently.

  3. Directness and respect

    You can expect medical expertise alongside plain honesty and respect for your time and emotions — answers to difficult questions, progress celebrated openly, and decisions that feel right for you.

  4. Purposeful, not overwhelming

    Cancer care can feel overwhelming. With the right guidance it can also feel purposeful. My goal is for you to feel informed, supported, and empowered — even on the toughest days.
