Dr. Puja Chatterjee has expertise in the management of ovarian, cervical, uterine, endometrial, vulval and vaginal cancers. Her clinical practice includes both early-stage disease and complex advanced gynecologic malignancies that may require extensive surgical treatment.
Her surgical expertise includes cytoreductive surgery, complex ultra-radical gynecologic cancer surgery and minimally invasive procedures. She is also experienced in Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for selected ovarian and peritoneal malignancies.
Dr. Chatterjee has a special interest in cervical cancer prevention and early detection, including HPV vaccination, cervical cancer screening and colposcopy. She has completed dedicated training in colposcopy and cervical cancer prevention through international professional organisations.
She also provides fertility-sparing treatment and onco-fertility counselling for selected younger patients with gynecological cancers. Her approach focuses on evidence-based treatment, cancer control, preservation of quality of life and individualised decision-making.
Cervical cancer screening uses tests such as Pap smear and HPV testing to identify precancerous changes before they progress to invasive cancer.
HPV vaccination helps protect against high-risk human papillomavirus types responsible for most cervical cancers and several other HPV-related malignancies.
Colposcopy uses magnification to examine the cervix, vagina and vulva after an abnormal screening result and helps identify areas that may require biopsy.
Cervical cancer treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy depending on tumor stage, size, lymph node involvement and individual patient factors.
Ovarian cancer treatment commonly involves surgery and chemotherapy, with treatment strategy determined by disease stage, tumor type and overall patient health.
Cytoreductive surgery aims to remove as much visible cancer as possible from the abdomen and pelvis and is an important treatment approach for selected advanced ovarian cancers.
Ultra-radical surgery may be required for selected advanced gynecological cancers involving multiple abdominal or pelvic organs when extensive tumor removal is considered appropriate.
HIPEC involves circulating heated chemotherapy within the abdominal cavity after cytoreductive surgery and may be used in selected ovarian or peritoneal malignancies.
Uterine cancer treatment often involves surgery and may include radiation therapy or systemic treatment depending on stage, pathology and recurrence risk.
Endometrial cancer surgery usually involves removal of the uterus and ovaries, with lymph node evaluation performed when indicated by disease risk and stage.
Vulval cancer treatment may involve surgical removal of the tumor and assessment of nearby lymph nodes depending on tumor size, location and stage.
Vaginal cancer treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy or combined treatment according to the location, stage and characteristics of the disease.
Gestational trophoblastic neoplasia is treated according to disease risk and may involve chemotherapy, surgery or a combination of treatments.
Minimally invasive surgery uses laparoscopic techniques to perform selected gynecologic cancer procedures through smaller incisions, potentially supporting faster postoperative recovery.
Fertility-sparing treatment may be considered for carefully selected younger patients with early-stage gynecologic cancers who wish to preserve future fertility.
Onco-fertility care helps patients understand fertility preservation options before cancer treatment that may affect ovarian function or reproductive potential.
