Dr. Vijay Yadav

A 72-year-old retired army colonel with metastatic prostate cancer to spine developed cauda equina syndrome. Dr. Yadav performed emergency spinal decompression and stabilization followed by targeted radiotherapy. The patient regained bladder control and partial mobility, spending his remaining 18 months pain-free with his grandchildren.

A 9-year-old boy from rural Rajasthan presented with a massive abdominal mass initially thought to be Wilms tumor. Dr. Yadav's team discovered it was an extremely rare clear cell sarcoma. They performed nephrectomy with intraoperative hyperthermic chemotherapy perfusion. The child remains disease-free after 3 years, with his farmer family traveling 300km for follow-ups.

A 42-year-old software engineer with Lynch syndrome developed synchronous colon and ureteral cancers. Dr. Yadav coordinated a dual surgery with urology colleagues, performing robotic colectomy and ureterectomy simultaneously. Genetic counseling led to three family members getting preventive screenings.

A pregnant 31-year-old teacher was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at 20 weeks gestation. Dr. Yadav performed a carefully timed thyroidectomy during second trimester under specialized anesthesia. She delivered a healthy baby at term and received radioactive iodine treatment postpartum while breastfeeding with proper precautions.

A 28-year-old female street food vendor presented with a rapidly growing jaw tumor, initially dismissed as dental abscess. Dr. Yadav diagnosed ameloblastoma and performed a complex mandibulectomy with fibula free flap reconstruction. Despite limited financial resources, the hospital's charitable wing supported her treatment. She returned to vending within 4 months with near-normal jaw function.
