Dr. Dipanwita Banerjee
Gynaecological Cancer Specialist in Kolkata

Dr. Dipanwita Banerjee is a Senior Consultant Gynaecological Oncologist at Chittaranjan National Cancer Institute (CNCI), Kolkata. She holds an MCh in Gynaecological Oncology from AIIMS New Delhi — the highest surgical qualification in the field — and has over 14 years of experience treating cervical, ovarian, uterine, and vulvar cancers.

Dr. Banerjee specialises in all gynaecological cancers: cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine (endometrial) cancer, vulvar cancer, and vaginal cancer. She also performs advanced procedures including robotic surgery, cytoreductive surgery with HIPEC, and colposcopy-guided cervical cancer screening.

A general gynaecologist manages routine reproductive health — periods, pregnancy, fibroids, and standard screening. A gynaecologic oncologist, like Dr. Banerjee, completes additional years of specialised surgical oncology training (MCh) focused exclusively on cancers of the female reproductive organs — cervix, ovaries, uterus, vulva, and vagina. This includes complex cancer staging surgery, cytoreductive surgery, and coordinating chemotherapy and radiation with other specialists. For a suspected or confirmed gynaecological cancer, being seen directly by a gynaecologic oncologist is associated with more accurate staging and better surgical outcomes.

Ovarian cancer symptoms are often subtle and easy to mistake for common digestive or menstrual issues — persistent bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly after eating, and changes in urinary frequency or urgency. Because there is no routine screening test for ovarian cancer, awareness of these symptoms and prompt evaluation matter. A family history of ovarian or breast cancer, or a BRCA1/BRCA2 gene mutation, significantly increases risk. Dr. Banerjee's team can guide patients through genetic risk assessment and counselling where relevant.

Yes. Dr. Banerjee is trained in robotic gynaecological surgery and performs minimally invasive robotic procedures for cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and other gynaecological malignancies, offering patients faster recovery and reduced surgical trauma compared to open surgery.

The HPV (Human Papillomavirus) vaccine protects against the strains of HPV that cause over 95% of cervical cancers. Dr. Banerjee strongly recommends HPV vaccination for girls aged 9–26 years, and in some cases up to age 45. India now has a domestically produced HPV vaccine (Cervavac), making it more accessible. Vaccination combined with regular cervical screening is the most effective prevention strategy.

Colposcopy is a detailed examination of the cervix using a magnifying instrument called a colposcope. It is recommended when a Pap smear or HPV test shows abnormal results. Dr. Banerjee performs colposcopy to identify pre-cancerous changes in the cervix early, enabling treatment before cancer develops.
