Hi All

Anyone knows about CLL specialist, based in New Delhi? Even better if some one has first hand experience with the doctor?

Best wishes to all ..

Hi Vinnet, don’t know anyone in Delhi but you can consider one in Mumbai - Dr.MB Agarwal. He is very well connected to MD Anderson & many other great doctors worldwide. Also head of Haematological research of India.

Don't know anyone in Delhi, but Mumbai based Prof. (Dr.) MB Aggarwal is best in India. I have first hand experience. Can have online consultation.

Thanks a lot. Will try online consultation with Dr Aggarwal .

Hi Vinnet,

The following information may provide you with a couple of leads if you need your condition monitored closer to home, although I've no personal knowledge of either one.

When I read your post, I recalled an abstract from the recent ASCO 2022 conference which was about the 'Safety and efficacy of Ibrutinib in Indian patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia'.

One of the authors, Dr Ajay Gogia, cares for CLL patients at the All India Institute Of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.

Also, in 2018, an article in the journal Blood described a comprehensive CLL clinic at the Postgraduate Institute of Medical Education and Research in Chandigarh, as 'a referral center for 5 neighboring states'.

Hi vinnet,

You have gotten several excellent replies, especially from CLLerinOz .

Networking through doctors is probably a great idea, so I found a CLL Patient who is also a doctor in India
