Dr Manish Singhal

MBBS, MD, DM(AIIMS)ECMO

Medical Oncology

Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi

Overviews

Oncology comes as a passion to me rather than a profession. I derived my motivation from my father’s illness, a cancer warrior for the past 18 years. Trained and educated at the apex medical institute of India – All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), I have been mentored by the best in cancer care. My expertise spans in all types of chemotherapy, intensive protocols, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy in addition to dealing with oncological emergencies, including medical care of patients.

My ardent interest in academics and willingness to keep up to date got me The Best Exam Award at ESMO (European society of Medical Oncology) Examination 2013 for scoring the top marks globally, making me the first and only Indian to achieve this fame. I was awarded best doctor for year 2014 and 2015 during my tenure at Fortis Hospital Noida for best patient reviews and feedbacks.

I am also the member of Executive Committee of ISMPO (Indian Society of Medical and Pediatrics Oncology), and also ICON (Indian Cooperative Oncology Network), a national body of senior academicians of India. I am also the Joint Secretary of the NCR (national capital region) Oncology Forum and reviewer for South Asia J of Cancer. I held national academic meeting in capacity of organizing secretary for both Oncology Forum and ISMPO in year 2017 and 2016 respectively.

I am the founder and director of an online education and awareness website named www.cancerconsultindia.com which has an impressive reach (more than 100,000 visitors) within 6 months of its inception. My google reviews are the highest for an oncologist in India speak of my dedication to profession and my patients.

I hold deep interest in Breast cancer, Lung Cancer, Gastro-intestinal cancer, Genito-urinary and Lymphomas and myeloma.

I have also developed an online clinical oncology course (Program Director) which gives clinical oncology training to MBBS doctors giving them new job opportunities. This is through Medvarsity online education portal.

Work Experience

The right balance between practice, quality patient care and academics was most achievable at Indraprastha Apollo hospitals New Delhi. With DNB training in medical oncology a large team of 11 surgical oncologist with DNB surgical oncology, 7 radiation oncologist and 6 medical oncologist with the backing of a strong support system of state of the art multi-specialty care and a JCI (Joint commission International) recognition makes Apollo hospital one of its kind institute offering immense opportunity to be a team player, learn and excel. I am presently involved in 6 company sponsored research projects and investigator initiated research proposal. 1. Use of TDM-1 in Metastatic her2 positive breast cancer post 1st line transtuzumab and a taxane. 2. Rituximab in B-cell Lymphoma with various chemotherapy combinations a phase IV study. 3. Ancers-1 Use of canscript in clinical decision making in solid tumors. 4. Povidone Iodine nail solution an RCT to control chemotherapy induced paronychia. 5. Zytiga in prostate cancer – Phase IV study. 6. Ninetidanib in NSCLC phase IV study (under ethical board review). I had 5 publications during this tenure – CML Indian data a Review in IJMPO as 1st author and 2 publications from radiology department as co-authors and 1 publication on Ibrutinib use in Indian subcontinent as co-author and 1 publication again as co-author on HPV positive head and neck cancer – a review.

I had the privilege (one among 20 key national figures on lung diseases) of recording lecture on “Small cell carcinoma lung” (available on line on youtube) for the “e-module of pulmonary medicine” endorsed by Diplomate National board (DNB) and NCCP (National College of Chest Physicians).
I also started an online patient education and awareness and connect platform named www.cancerconsultindia.com which has an impressive reach (more than 100,000 visitors) within 6 months of its inception.

I also had the opportunity to hold the first annual symposium for NCR Oncology Forum at India Habitat Center on 2nd and 3rd Sep 2017 in capacity of the organizing secretary of the meeting.
I regularly hold Highlights of ESMO annual Meeting and San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium at Delhi involving key opinion leaders of national repute to bring latest updates and their practice adoption in clinical practice relevant to Indian context

My ardent interest in academics and research got me out of a truly corporate hospital network to a research center with an active DNB training program. Dharamshila Hospital is the largest and first NABH accredited Cancer hospital of northern India. In addition to patient care there is an active DNB (medical oncology) training program which takes 2 students per year. Dr Amit a DNB trainee had started his research project under my guidance on triple negative breast cancer, one of my key areas of interest. Personal reasons forced me to shift my work place.
I also had the opportunity to hold the annual symposium for ISMPO at Crowne Plaza, Rohini, New Delhi in Oct 2016 in capacity of co- organizing secretary of the meeting.

Dr Manish Singhal

MBBS, MD, DM(AIIMS)ECMO

Medical Oncology

Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, New Delhi

Overviews

Oncology comes as a passion to me rather than a profession. I derived my motivation from my father’s illness, a cancer warrior for the past 18 years. Trained and educated at the apex medical institute of India – All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), I have been mentored by the best in cancer care. My expertise spans in all types of chemotherapy, intensive protocols, immunotherapy, hormonal therapy in addition to dealing with oncological emergencies, including medical care of patients.

My ardent interest in academics and willingness to keep up to date got me The Best Exam Award at ESMO (European society of Medical Oncology) Examination 2013 for scoring the top marks globally, making me the first and only Indian to achieve this fame. I was awarded best doctor for year 2014 and 2015 during my tenure at Fortis Hospital Noida for best patient reviews and feedbacks.

I am also the member of Executive Committee of ISMPO (Indian Society of Medical and Pediatrics Oncology), and also ICON (Indian Cooperative Oncology Network), a national body of senior academicians of India. I am also the Joint Secretary of the NCR (national capital region) Oncology Forum and reviewer for South Asia J of Cancer. I held national academic meeting in capacity of organizing secretary for both Oncology Forum and ISMPO in year 2017 and 2016 respectively.

I am the founder and director of an online education and awareness website named www.cancerconsultindia.com which has an impressive reach (more than 100,000 visitors) within 6 months of its inception. My google reviews are the highest for an oncologist in India speak of my dedication to profession and my patients.

I hold deep interest in Breast cancer, Lung Cancer, Gastro-intestinal cancer, Genito-urinary and Lymphomas and myeloma.

I have also developed an online clinical oncology course (Program Director) which gives clinical oncology training to MBBS doctors giving them new job opportunities. This is through Medvarsity online education portal.

Work Experience

The right balance between practice, quality patient care and academics was most achievable at Indraprastha Apollo hospitals New Delhi. With DNB training in medical oncology a large team of 11 surgical oncologist with DNB surgical oncology, 7 radiation oncologist and 6 medical oncologist with the backing of a strong support system of state of the art multi-specialty care and a JCI (Joint commission International) recognition makes Apollo hospital one of its kind institute offering immense opportunity to be a team player, learn and excel. I am presently involved in 6 company sponsored research projects and investigator initiated research proposal. 1. Use of TDM-1 in Metastatic her2 positive breast cancer post 1st line transtuzumab and a taxane. 2. Rituximab in B-cell Lymphoma with various chemotherapy combinations a phase IV study. 3. Ancers-1 Use of canscript in clinical decision making in solid tumors. 4. Povidone Iodine nail solution an RCT to control chemotherapy induced paronychia. 5. Zytiga in prostate cancer – Phase IV study. 6. Ninetidanib in NSCLC phase IV study (under ethical board review). I had 5 publications during this tenure – CML Indian data a Review in IJMPO as 1st author and 2 publications from radiology department as co-authors and 1 publication on Ibrutinib use in Indian subcontinent as co-author and 1 publication again as co-author on HPV positive head and neck cancer – a review.

I had the privilege (one among 20 key national figures on lung diseases) of recording lecture on “Small cell carcinoma lung” (available on line on youtube) for the “e-module of pulmonary medicine” endorsed by Diplomate National board (DNB) and NCCP (National College of Chest Physicians).
I also started an online patient education and awareness and connect platform named www.cancerconsultindia.com which has an impressive reach (more than 100,000 visitors) within 6 months of its inception.

I also had the opportunity to hold the first annual symposium for NCR Oncology Forum at India Habitat Center on 2nd and 3rd Sep 2017 in capacity of the organizing secretary of the meeting.
I regularly hold Highlights of ESMO annual Meeting and San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium at Delhi involving key opinion leaders of national repute to bring latest updates and their practice adoption in clinical practice relevant to Indian context

My ardent interest in academics and research got me out of a truly corporate hospital network to a research center with an active DNB training program. Dharamshila Hospital is the largest and first NABH accredited Cancer hospital of northern India. In addition to patient care there is an active DNB (medical oncology) training program which takes 2 students per year. Dr Amit a DNB trainee had started his research project under my guidance on triple negative breast cancer, one of my key areas of interest. Personal reasons forced me to shift my work place.
I also had the opportunity to hold the annual symposium for ISMPO at Crowne Plaza, Rohini, New Delhi in Oct 2016 in capacity of co- organizing secretary of the meeting.
