Get to Know Dr. Sharmila Roy Chowdhury

Surgical oncologist Dr. Sharmila Roy Chowdhury specializes in the use of novel hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy, known as HIPEC, which has dramatically improved treatment for peritoneal mesothelioma cancer.

Chowdhury uses HIPEC in combination with cytoreductive surgery in treating several different abdominal malignancies.

Her practice at Goshen Center for Cancer Care in Goshen, Indiana, focuses on gastrointestinal oncology and rare cancers such as pseudomyxoma peritonei, appendix cancer and mesothelioma. She also treats peritoneal carcinomatosis, stomach cancer and liver cancer.

While many doctors, and even oncologists, struggle with properly identifying peritoneal mesothelioma, Chowdhury has extensive experience with mesothelioma treatment.

Chowdhury is the former director of the Peritoneal Surface Malignancy and HIPEC Program at Medical City Plano, and started similar programs at Indiana University Hospital and Loma Linda University Medical Center in California.
