Particularly valuable for patients who need to decide:
“I've been told I have a liver tumour — is there an option other than major surgery?”
“I need treatment for varicose veins or a blocked leg artery without open surgery.”
“I want an interventional radiology opinion before I commit to a cancer treatment plan.”
Why MyDocsy Patients See Dr Vijan
Dr Vijan is particularly useful for these critical clinical decisions.
Interventional oncology cases
“You've been told you have a liver or other tumour and want to know whether an image-guided option is reasonable.”
Particularly useful when the real decision is:
- Is my liver or focal tumour eligible for thermal ablation (RFA/MWA) or TARE instead of major surgery?
- How does transarterial radioembolisation compare with systemic chemotherapy?
- What are the expected recovery times and organ-preservation benefits of pinhole IR?
Why Dr Vijan:
- Interventional oncology, TARE, and ablative therapies (RFA, MWA) as core clinical expertise
- Two-year dedicated FVIR Fellowship at Tata Memorial Hospital, Mumbai (2023–2025)
- ISVIR research on TARE in hepatocellular carcinoma; presentations at RSNA 2022 and ISNO 2023
Varicose veins & peripheral vascular disease
“You want to understand non-surgical options for varicose veins or a peripheral vascular problem.”
Particularly useful when the real decision is:
- Can my varicose veins be closed via day-care endovenous laser or VenaSeal glue without open cuts?
- What minimally invasive recanalization options exist for blocked leg arteries (PAD)?
- How quickly can I resume normal walking and daily activities?
Why Dr Vijan:
- Varicose vein treatment (laser, VenaSeal) and peripheral vascular interventions listed as primary clinical focus
- Clinical Observership in Vascular & Interventional Radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard Medical School, Boston (2024)
Complex second opinion
“Particularly useful when the patient needs to understand why recommendations from different doctors differ, which clinical facts actually change the decision, which options remain reasonable, and what should happen next.”
Particularly useful when the real decision is:
- Why did one doctor recommend surgery while another recommended non-surgical embolization or ablation?
- Which specific imaging features on CT/MRI determine whether an image-guided route is safe and effective?
- What is the recommended multidisciplinary roadmap?
Why Dr Vijan:
- Comprehensive cross-sectional diagnostic imaging background (Gold Medalist MD Radiodiagnosis, Tata Memorial Hospital)
- Independent, evidence-based review unconstrained by surgical quotas

See How Dr Vijan Thinks
A specialist opinion should explain much more than just the name of a treatment. It should resolve the underlying clinical question.
A liver tumour or focal oncologic lesion
Dr Vijan first determines these variables:
- 1Tumour size, number, segmental location, and relationship to major hepatic vessels
- 2Liver functional reserve (Child-Pugh score, bilirubin, albumin) and systemic fitness
- 3Previous systemic therapy, surgery, or transarterial treatments
...Before choosing between these reasonable options:
- AImage-guided thermal ablation (RFA / Microwave Ablation)
- BTransarterial radioembolisation (TARE) / chemoembolisation (TACE)
- CSurgical liver resection or multidisciplinary oncology referral
A useful specialist opinion answers these key patient questions:
Do I need treatment now?
Determined by tumour growth trajectory, vascular invasion risk, and symptom severity.
What happens if I wait?
Evaluates whether delaying intervention risks tumour progression beyond Milan or locoregional ablation criteria.
What are the reasonable alternatives?
Clear comparison between surgical resection, percutaneous ablation (RFA/MWA), TARE/TACE, and systemic therapies.
What trade-offs matter in my case?
Weighs minimal invasiveness and organ preservation of pinhole IR against definitive surgical margins.
Technology & Advanced Treatments
Technology expands what a specialist can do. It should not decide what the patient needs.
TARE (Transarterial Radioembolisation)
Dr Vijan’s Experience:
Listed expertise; ISVIR research work on TARE in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC); Tata Memorial Hospital fellowship.
Useful When:
Selected primary and secondary liver tumours where surgical resection is unsuitable, or as a bridge/downstaging to surgery.
Not Automatically Better When:
Extensive extrahepatic spread or severely compromised baseline liver function (decompensated cirrhosis).
RFA / MWA (Thermal Ablation)
Dr Vijan’s Experience:
Extensive experience in image-guided thermal tumour ablation at Tata Memorial Hospital.
Useful When:
Small, well-placed early-stage primary liver tumours (<3-4 cm) or focal oligometastases.
Not Automatically Better When:
Tumours abutting major central bile ducts or high-risk vascular structures where non-thermal or embolisation routes are safer.
Laser / VenaSeal for Varicose Veins
Dr Vijan’s Experience:
Clinical observership at Massachusetts General Hospital / Harvard (2024); peripheral vascular training.
Useful When:
Symptomatic varicose veins and venous reflux needing day-care, non-surgical vein closure.
Not Automatically Better When:
Acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) where anticoagulation and catheter-directed thrombolysis take precedence.
