Ovarian cancer often develops silently, with vague symptoms like bloating, pelvic discomfort, or appetite changes that are easy to overlook. Dr. Shiva Gautam, Consultant Gynecological Oncologist at Fortis Hospital Noida, specializes in the complete management of ovarian cancer — from accurate diagnosis and staging to advanced surgical treatment, including cytoreductive surgery and HIPEC for advanced-stage disease. Every treatment plan is personalized based on cancer type, stage, and overall health, combining surgical precision with compassionate, patient-centered care. Whether newly diagnosed or seeking a second opinion, patients receive clear, evidence-based guidance at every step of their ovarian cancer journey.

Recovery & Follow-Up
Ongoing monitoring ensures smooth recovery and long-term, cancer-free well-being.
Ovarian cancer is often called a "silent" disease because early symptoms — bloating, pelvic or abdominal pain, feeling full quickly, or changes in bathroom habits — are easy to mistake for everyday digestive issues. Many women are diagnosed only after the cancer has reached an advanced stage, which makes access to a dedicated gynecologic oncologist critical for accurate, timely treatment.
Dr. Shiva Gautam, Consultant Gynecological Oncologist at Fortis Hospital Noida, brings focused fellowship training in the surgical and clinical management of ovarian cancer. Her approach begins with a thorough diagnostic work-up, including pelvic examination, imaging (ultrasound, CT, or MRI), tumor marker testing such as CA-125, and, where needed, biopsy confirmation. This careful evaluation allows her to accurately stage the disease and design a treatment plan suited to the individual patient rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.
Surgical Treatment
Surgery remains the cornerstone of ovarian cancer treatment. Depending on the stage, Dr. Gautam performs procedures ranging from fertility-sparing surgery for select early-stage cancers in younger women, to comprehensive staging surgery, to complex cytoreductive (debulking) surgery for advanced disease. In appropriate cases, she also offers Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy (HIPEC) — a specialized technique in which heated chemotherapy is circulated directly within the abdominal cavity immediately after tumor removal, targeting microscopic disease that surgery alone may not reach.
A Multidisciplinary Approach
Ovarian cancer care rarely rests on surgery alone. Dr. Gautam works closely with medical oncologists, radiologists, and pathologists to coordinate chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or maintenance treatment where indicated, ensuring that each patient's care plan reflects the latest evidence and her specific tumor biology.
Minimally Invasive Options
For appropriate early-stage cancers, Dr. Gautam offers robotic and laparoscopic surgical techniques, which can mean smaller incisions, less post-operative pain, shorter hospital stays, and faster return to daily activities, without compromising the thoroughness of cancer staging or removal.
Fertility Considerations
For younger women diagnosed with early-stage ovarian cancer, fertility preservation is often an important concern. After careful evaluation of tumor type and stage, fertility-sparing surgery — which preserves the uterus and, where possible, the unaffected ovary — may be a safe option. Dr. Gautam discusses these choices openly with patients so they can make informed decisions aligned with their personal and family goals.
What to Expect During Treatment
Every patient's journey typically begins with a detailed consultation reviewing existing reports and scans, followed by any additional tests needed to confirm diagnosis and stage. Dr. Gautam explains the recommended treatment path, expected recovery timeline, and possible side effects in plain language, so patients and families feel informed and supported rather than overwhelmed.
Life After Treatment
Survivorship care continues well beyond surgery. Regular follow-up visits, imaging, and tumor marker monitoring help catch any recurrence early, when it is most treatable. Dr. Gautam also emphasizes emotional and physical recovery, connecting patients with supportive resources as needed.
