DM-trained cancer specialist with precision-oncology and immuno-oncology credentials
Across Thane, Navi Mumbai and Panvel, many families meet Dr. Pushpak Chirmade Oncologist when they are looking for one doctor who can handle both adult and paediatric cancers close to home. Public profiles describe him as a super specialist in adult and paediatric oncology and haematology, managing solid tumours and blood cancers while coordinating care through his own cancer centres and attached hospitals.
Education, training and international certifications
His formal path starts with MBBS from Lokmanya Tilak Municipal Medical College and Sion Hospital in Mumbai, followed by MD in Internal Medicine, where he was a gold medallist. He then completed DM in Oncology and Hemato-Oncology at BJ Medical College and Ahmedabad Civil Hospital / Gujarat Cancer Research Institute, a high-volume regional cancer centre that sees a wide range of complex cases. Along the way, he obtained the ESMO Certified Medical Oncologist (ECMO) title and was selected for advanced molecular-oncology and precision-oncology programmes at international institutions, including Harvard Medical School.
Current roles and where he consults
In day-to-day work he runs multi-location cancer services under his own name in Vashi, Thane and Panvel, designed so that patients can choose a centre close to where they live or work. Parallel hospital listings describe him as a consultant oncologist and hemato-oncologist at Horizon Prime Hospital and Jupiter Hospital in Thane, at MGM Hospital in Vashi and at other partner hospitals through Oncura Cancer Care. Together, these roles place Dr Pushpak Chirmade Oncologist within both stand-alone cancer clinics and large multi-speciality hospitals, with the same doctor following patients across different settings when needed.
Clinical focus areas within oncology and haematology
Professional summaries describe a broad practice covering cancers throughout the body and blood cancers across age groups. Focus areas that appear repeatedly include head and neck cancers, lung and other thoracic cancers, oesophageal and gastrointestinal malignancies, genito-urinary cancers, sarcomas and skin cancers, along with breast and other gynaecological cancers. He is also involved in treating leukaemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, anaemia and other blood disorders, using chemotherapy, targeted therapy, hormonal therapy and immunotherapy according to disease stage and molecular findings.
Research work, awards and professional memberships
During training he received awards such as best oral paper presentation at Hyperthermia 2017 in Ahmedabad and the Dr T. B. Patel Young Research Scientist Award, and he ranked among the top candidates in his DM medical-oncology examinations. He has presented work at national cancer meetings and contributed to case reports and clinical series in peer-reviewed journals. Memberships in societies such as ESMO and ASCO, together with ECMO certification and international short courses, point to an ongoing effort to keep his practice aligned with current evidence and global guidelines.
Patient feedback, communication style and outreach
Online patient reviews from his centres often describe Dr. Pushpak Chirmade as approachable, calm and willing to explain investigations and treatment plans in detail, with several families saying that he remains accessible throughout long chemotherapy or targeted-therapy courses. Reviews also mention staff support and efforts to keep treatments affordable without compromising on evidence-based care. Through blogs, social-media posts and public-education talks he appears in campaigns on sarcoma, lung cancer and breast cancer, reinforcing his role as a clinician who links everyday practice with community awareness.
