Dr. Nilaxi Khataniar

I am a radiation oncologist with over ten years of clinical experience dedicated to the comprehensive management of solid tumors. My expertise spans across a wide range of cancer types, including neurological tumors, head and neck cancers, breast cancer, lung cancer, gastrointestinal malignancies, and gynecologic cancers. I am proficient in advanced radiation therapy techniques and evidence-based treatment protocols that aim to maximize tumor control while minimizing toxicity and preserving quality of life. In addition to my specialization in Radiation Oncology, I hold formal training in pain medicine and palliative care, which has significantly enhanced my approach to patient-centered cancer care. This multidisciplinary perspective allows me to address not only the disease but also the physical and emotional challenges that accompany a cancer diagnosis. I work closely with patients and their families to ensure that symptom relief, supportive care, and psychological well-being are integrated into every stage of treatment. I also maintain a solid foundation in chemotherapy, which enables me to coordinate and optimize treatment plans in collaboration with medical and surgical oncology teams. My practice is guided by a commitment to holistic, compassionate care, and I strive to ensure that every patient receives personalized attention tailored to their medical needs and life goals. With a focus on both curative and palliative oncology, I aim to support patients throughout their cancer journey—from diagnosis and treatment to survivorship or end-of-life care—always with empathy, respect, and clinical precision.
