Role in Cancer Patient Care
Cancer patients often need input beyond oncology alone. Dr. Patil supports the cancer team in the following ways:

- Anaesthesia delivery during oncology procedures, tailored to the patient’s overall health and prior treatments
- Orthopaedic review for patients with bone-related symptoms, mobility problems, or musculoskeletal side effects of cancer treatment
- Post-operative pain management to support faster recovery and comfort during onward cancer treatment
All decisions about cancer diagnosis and treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, or immunotherapy) are made by the treating oncology team. Dr. Patil’s role is supportive and procedural.
