    Overview

  • Dr. Joseph Mathew is acknowledged as a highly skilled surgical oncologist in Hebbal, Bangalore, with a practice covering general surgical oncology and specialised cancer resections across multiple organ systems. He is currently practising as Consultant Surgical Oncologist and Minimal Access Surgeon at Manipal Hospital Hebbal Bangalore. With more than 10 years of clinical experience, his work reflects a strong blend of structured oncologic training, advanced minimal access techniques, and evidence-based surgical decision-making.

  • His academic foundation includes an MBBS from Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, followed by MS in General Surgery from Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute. He went on to complete M.Ch. in Surgical Oncology from Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology. To further develop and refine his laparoscopic and robotic surgical skills, he pursued Fellowships in Minimal Access Colorectal Surgical Oncology (at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai), and in GI Surgical Oncology and Robotic Surgery (through the Intuitive Foundation). 

  • Although Dr. Joseph’s clinical expertise spans a wide range of cancers, spanning head and neck oncology, breast and gynaecological cancer, hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies, musculoskeletal oncology, abdominal cancers and gynaecological malignancies, he has a special interest in gastrointestinal oncology (including esophageal, gastric and colorectal cancers), in the management of peritoneal surface malignancies (including cytoreductive surgery, with HIPEC and PIPAC procedures). 

  • Dr. Joseph is also proficient in diagnostic endoscopy including upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy.

  • As a clinician and surgeon, Dr. Joseph integrates advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgical methods to reduce postoperative recovery time, and improve patient comfort. His surgical approach is defined by precision, anatomical clarity, an emphasis on oncological completeness while preserving function and an unwavering commitment to achieving optimal patient outcomes. This procedural focus has positioned him as one of the best surgical oncologists in Hebbal, Bangalore for complex cancer surgeries.

  • Academically, Dr. Joseph has a strong research profile with multiple peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Annals of Surgical Oncology, European Journal of Surgical Oncology, Colorectal Disease, Cancer Reports, and Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology. His research largely focuses on robotic versus laparoscopic outcomes, colorectal cancer morbidity, lymph node dissection, and rare malignancies. He also serves as a peer reviewer for international journals, including JCO, BMJ Open, EJSO, WJSO, and Cancer Medicine. Dr. Joseph’s professional affiliations with leading national and international organisations including Indian Association of Surgical Oncology (IASO), Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) and the European Federation for International Society of Digestive Surgery (EFISDS) further underscore his engagement with the global surgical oncology community.

  • At Manipal Hospital Hebbal, Dr. Joseph contributes as part of a multidisciplinary oncology team, collaborating closely with medical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, and pathology services. His role extends beyond operative care to include perioperative planning, long-term oncologic surveillance, and academic engagement. His expertise, procedural depth, and research orientation collectively establish him as one of the best surgical oncologists in Hebbal and Bangalore.

    • Overview

  • Dr. Joseph Mathew is acknowledged as a highly skilled surgical oncologist in Hebbal, Bangalore, with a practice covering general surgical oncology and specialised cancer resections across multiple organ systems. He is currently practising as Consultant Surgical Oncologist and Minimal Access Surgeon at Manipal Hospital Hebbal Bangalore. With more than 10 years of clinical experience, his work reflects a strong blend of structured oncologic training, advanced minimal access techniques, and evidence-based surgical decision-making.

  • His academic foundation includes an MBBS from Mysore Medical College and Research Institute, followed by MS in General Surgery from Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute. He went on to complete M.Ch. in Surgical Oncology from Kidwai Memorial Institute of Oncology. To further develop and refine his laparoscopic and robotic surgical skills, he pursued Fellowships in Minimal Access Colorectal Surgical Oncology (at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai), and in GI Surgical Oncology and Robotic Surgery (through the Intuitive Foundation). 

  • Although Dr. Joseph’s clinical expertise spans a wide range of cancers, spanning head and neck oncology, breast and gynaecological cancer, hepatobiliary and pancreatic malignancies, musculoskeletal oncology, abdominal cancers and gynaecological malignancies, he has a special interest in gastrointestinal oncology (including esophageal, gastric and colorectal cancers), in the management of peritoneal surface malignancies (including cytoreductive surgery, with HIPEC and PIPAC procedures). 

  • Dr. Joseph is also proficient in diagnostic endoscopy including upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy.

  • As a clinician and surgeon, Dr. Joseph integrates advanced laparoscopic and robotic surgical methods to reduce postoperative recovery time, and improve patient comfort. His surgical approach is defined by precision, anatomical clarity, an emphasis on oncological completeness while preserving function and an unwavering commitment to achieving optimal patient outcomes. This procedural focus has positioned him as one of the best surgical oncologists in Hebbal, Bangalore for complex cancer surgeries.

  • Academically, Dr. Joseph has a strong research profile with multiple peer-reviewed publications in journals such as Annals of Surgical Oncology, European Journal of Surgical Oncology, Colorectal Disease, Cancer Reports, and Indian Journal of Surgical Oncology. His research largely focuses on robotic versus laparoscopic outcomes, colorectal cancer morbidity, lymph node dissection, and rare malignancies. He also serves as a peer reviewer for international journals, including JCO, BMJ Open, EJSO, WJSO, and Cancer Medicine. Dr. Joseph’s professional affiliations with leading national and international organisations including Indian Association of Surgical Oncology (IASO), Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), European Association for Endoscopic Surgery (EAES) and the European Federation for International Society of Digestive Surgery (EFISDS) further underscore his engagement with the global surgical oncology community.

  • At Manipal Hospital Hebbal, Dr. Joseph contributes as part of a multidisciplinary oncology team, collaborating closely with medical oncology, radiation oncology, radiology, and pathology services. His role extends beyond operative care to include perioperative planning, long-term oncologic surveillance, and academic engagement. His expertise, procedural depth, and research orientation collectively establish him as one of the best surgical oncologists in Hebbal and Bangalore.
