Overview
Dr Akhil Kumar is a Consultant Oncologist in Sarjapur Road (Dommasandra), Bengaluru, with over 23 years of experience in cancer care and blood disorders. Patients consulting him can access oncology second opinions, cancer diagnosis review, and personalised treatment planning across a wide range of cancers – from breast, lung, and prostate to blood cancers and lymphoma. If you’ve recently been diagnosed with cancer and want a second opinion before starting chemotherapy or any other treatment, his consultation at RxDx is designed to help you make that decision with clarity.
He completed his MBBS from AIIMS, New Delhi, followed by a Residency in Internal Medicine at the State University of New York Health Science Centre, Brooklyn, and completed a Fellowship in Haematology-Oncology at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. He later served there as both Assistant Professor and Associate Professor in Medical Oncology. He holds US Board certifications in Internal Medicine, Medical Oncology, and Haematology. He is a member of the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the European Haematology Association, and the European Society of Medical Oncology. His research spans over a decade of clinical trials in solid tumours, haematological malignancies, and supportive oncology care – including multiple phase 1 to phase 3 studies that have contributed directly to how certain cancers are treated today.
His expertise includes providing second opinions in oncology, as well as evaluation and management of bleeding disorders and anaemia. For families navigating a new cancer diagnosis, the value of a consultation with someone of his clinical depth – who has managed complex oncology cases across India and the US – cannot be overstated.
At RxDx Clinics, Sarjapur Road (Dommasandra), Bengaluru, Dr Akhil Kumar offers oncology consultations, second opinions, cancer diagnosis reviews, treatment planning guidance, and haematological condition assessment – with the emphasis on clarity, accuracy, and informed decision-making for patients and their families.
