Dr Bhavna Parikh is an experienced Ovarian Cancer Specialist in Khar, Mumbai, with 25 years of practice diagnosing and treating gynaecological cancers, including cancers of the ovaries, uterus, and cervix. She consults at P. D. Hinduja Hospital & Medical Research Centre, Khar Facility, offering chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and personalized treatment planning for women with ovarian cancer.
Ovarian cancer is a growth of cells that forms in the ovaries — the female reproductive system contains two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. The cancer cells multiply quickly and can invade and destroy healthy surrounding tissue. Because early symptoms are often mild or absent, ovarian cancer is usually detected at a late stage, which makes consulting an experienced Ovarian Cancer Specialist in Khar important for timely diagnosis and treatment planning.
Women experiencing these symptoms persistently are advised to consult an Ovarian Cancer Specialist in Khar for evaluation rather than waiting for symptoms to worsen.

She later trained further in gastrointestinal cancers at the Royal Marsden Hospital, UK.
