Best Cervical Cancer Doctor in Gurgaon
Cervical cancer begins in the cells of the cervix, which is the lower section of the uterus that opens into the vagina. It usually starts with changes that aren't cancerous but can be detected and treated early. If cervical cancer is identified and treated early, most of the time it can be cured.
Dr. Aruna Kalra is one of the most sought after gynaecologist in Gurgaon who focuses on treating cancer and doing treatments that don't require a lot of cutting. She and her group of clinicians who work together to support women with cervical cancer. Her method is to discover problems early, make treatment programs that are unique to each patient, and give patients and their families care in all areas to give them the best chance of a happy outcome.
Symptoms of Cervical Cancer
Early cervical cancer is often asymptomatic, which is why screening is so crucial. When symptoms appear, they may include:
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding (between periods, post-coital, or after menopause).
- Unusual vaginal discharge that may be watery, bloody, or malodorous.
- Pelvic pain or pain during intercourse.
- Longer or heavier periods in some cases.
If you experience any of these symptoms, prompt evaluation by Dr. Aruna Kalra or a cervical cancer specialist in Gurgaon is recommended. Early assessment leads to better outcomes and less aggressive treatment. It is also our best possible alternative to beat cancer.
Diagnosis of Cervical Cancer
Screening and accurate diagnosis guide the entire treatment plan.
Screening tests:
- Pap smear (Pap test) to detect abnormal cervical cells.
- HPV DNA testing to identify high-risk HPV strains.
- Co-testing (Pap + HPV) for higher sensitivity in appropriate age groups.
Diagnostic tests (if screening is abnormal):
- Colposcopy: magnified inspection of the cervix with targeted biopsies.
- Punch or cone biopsy for histopathology (confirms diagnosis).
- Imaging (MRI, CT, or PET-CT) to stage disease and check for spread.
Under Dr. Kalra’s care, these investigations are coordinated promptly and sensitively, with clear explanations at every step. Accurate staging (FIGO stages) helps determine whether the best course is surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, or a combination.

Treatment Options for Cervical Cancer
Treatment is individualised based on stage, tumour size, patient age, and fertility wishes.
Early stages (IA–IB1)
- Conisation or simple hysterectomy may suffice.
- Radical trachelectomy (removal of cervix while preserving uterus) is an option for selected younger women wishing to retain fertility - a procedure Dr. Aruna Kalra coordinates with gynecologic oncologists.
Locally advanced disease (IB2–IVA)
- Concurrent chemoradiation (external beam radiation + brachytherapy with weekly cisplatin) is standard. This is delivered by a multidisciplinary team with surgical backup as needed.
Advanced/Metastatic Disease
- Systemic chemotherapy, targeted agents (e.g., bevacizumab where appropriate), and immunotherapy options are considered in tertiary centres. Palliative measures aim to control symptoms and maintain quality of life.
Where minimally invasive approaches are appropriate, Dr. Kalra works with oncology surgeons who use laparoscopic or robotic techniques to reduce recovery time. Her patient-centred planning always balances cure rates with quality of life and fertility preservation where feasible.
Causes & Risk Factors behind Cervical Cancer
The single most important cause of cervical cancer is persistent infection with high-risk Human Papillomavirus (HPV) - particularly types 16 and 18. Other factors increase risk or accelerate disease progression, including:
- Early onset of sexual activity or multiple sexual partners.
- Smoking, which impairs local immune defence.
- Immunosuppression (e.g., HIV infection).
- Long-term use of oral contraceptives and multiple full-term pregnancies.
- Lack of regular cervical screening (Pap/HPV tests).
Dr. Aruna Kalra places strong emphasis on prevention, offering HPV vaccination counselling, screening programmes, and patient education so women can reduce their risk and catch abnormalities early when treatments are most effective
Recovery and Follow-up Care
Recovery will be time taking as the body is under a lot of duress. Time taken for recovery from procedure will vary by treatment type. Surgery recovery often takes weeks; radiation and chemoradiation produce gradual side effects (fatigue, local irritation) that may persist for months.
Follow-up protocol usually involves:
- Regular pelvic examinations and imaging per oncology guidelines.
- Monitoring for late effects (bladder, bowel, sexual function) and early detection of recurrence.
- Supportive care: nutritional guidance, physiotherapy (pelvic floor rehabilitation), and psychosocial counselling.
- Survivorship planning: vaccination advice for family members, lifestyle counseling (smoking cessation, diet, exercise) and fertility referrals if needed.
Her team ensures continuity of care, moving patients from active treatment to survivorship with dignity and clear communication.

What our patient say about us ?
I was accidentally diagnosed with dermoid cyst ovary at the age of 21.
I am lucky to get operated by Dr Aruna. She treated me as a mother. Her operative skills are
to be admired. Cyst was removed, ovary sutured and follow up ultrasound was perfectly clear.
I could join back after a week with no residual pain. I am really thankful to Dr Aruna.
Doctor did my aunt’s surgery for endometriotic cyst. It was 7.5 *8 cm chocolate
cyst. She was unable to conceive. After removing cyst laparoscopically, Dr Aruna rightly
advised her next steps for conception. Very patient and humble. Always answered her endless
queries. Recovery was also very easy from the surgery. I would recommend her to everyone.
Dr. Aruna Kalra is highly experienced Obstetrics & Gynaecology Surgeon. Her

with patients and make them smile. She is no doubt an angel with blessing of God to serve
the human beings. We are highly thankful to Dr. Kalra.
I was bleeding heavily every month with excruciating pain starting many days
before periods. I was mistreated and misguided, given repeated courses of hormones. When I
met Dr Aruna, she explained the disease is adenomyosis and spread of endometriosis. After my
laparoscopy, we discussed how to prevent recurrence and followed her treatment. I believe,
once knew the reason of my disease, it felt better to understand the management, Dr Aruna
explains at length. She makes you comfortable before surgery with thorough counselling. Best
gynaecologist.

opinion, got her reference through distant relative. We came from Kolkata got operated
laparoscopic myomectomy and after 6 months of monthly treatment under ma’am’s guidance, she
is blessed with 6 months pregnancy now. I wish we knew about Dr Kalra before. Best
laparoscopic surgeon, very best human being.
I met Dr. Aruna when i was planning fr a baby. Had met 2-3 gynaecologists
before her but my experience was very bad. Me and my husband were very happy with her during
our first consultation itself. She exudes so much positivity and confidence that its
infectious. She is a very easy going and humble person. Can discuss even the silliest
concerns with her and she would resolve it. I feel very fortunate to have found such a
doctor. She made my pregnancy journey very smooth. Would highly recommend her.

pregnancy journey very smooth with normal painless delivery. No doubt She is the Best

Do you have any query ?
Here are some frequently asked questions
The majority of cervical malignancies originate from prolonged infections with high-risk HPV strains that induce gradual cellular alterations over time.
Primarily due to persistent infection with high-risk HPV (particularly HPV-16 and HPV-18), with smoking, immunosuppression, and lack of screening serving as co-factors.
The stage of the disease affects how long someone will live. Finding it early gives very high cure rates (typically over 90% for stage I). In later stages, the rates are lower, but several treatments can keep the disease under control and help people live longer.
Yes, a lot of women get better, if the disease is caught early. Long-term follow-up is necessary to check for recurrence and deal with late consequences.
Women between the ages of 30 and 50 are most likely to get cervical cancer, but HPV infection can happen earlier.
