Professional statement
Professor Jayant Vaidya is a prominent consultant oncoplastic breast surgeon and professor of surgery based in London, specialising in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the breast. With over 25 years of experience, Professor Vaidya is highly experienced in a wide range of treatments. His areas of expertise include breast cancer, lumpectomy, targeted intraoperative radiotherapy, mastectomy, breast preserving surgery and breast abscess, while his areas of surgical oncology expertise include sentinel node biopsy and intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT-IORT).
Professor Vaidya received his first medical degree in 1988, graduating with an MBBS from the University of Bombay. He received his master of surgery from the same institution in 1991, before receiving a DNB in 1993. He then went on to become a fellow of both the Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow and the Royal College of Surgeons of England, and in 2002 he received his PhD in surgical science from University College London.
Professor Vaidya currently practices privately at King Edward VII’s Hospital Sister Agnes and the London Clinic. In addition to his private practices, Professor Vaidya serves as an oncoplastic breast surgeon at several NHS hospitals across London. He is also a Professor of Surgery and Oncology at University College London.
He splits his time equally between research and clinical work, improving the understanding and treatment of breast cancer. He is extensively published, with over 200 scientific works over a wide range of medical fields, and has contributed to several books on breast cancer, including his own title 'Fast Facts: Early Breast Cancer´.
He lectures and gives frequent talks on his specialty, both nationally and internationally, and is regularly invited to speak on the BBC as an expert in his field. He has also been featured in Time magazine, Reader's Digest, and Tomorrow's World, thanks to his pioneering of the concept of targeted intraoperative radiotherapy (TARGIT). This innovative take on radiotherapy enables women to receive radiotherapy at the time of surgery, instead of post-operative courses, enabling lower toxicity, and a safer, more focused treatment.

- I was seen by Professor Vaidya within a couple of days and the efforts he made to collate my results were exemplary. I could not recommend him highly enough. He contacted me personally after my consultation with my results and had a very caring manner.
- Prof Vaidya came highly recommended and didn’t disappoint. Friendly, approachable and professional. Got diagnosed with BCancer in Nov’24 and felt in very good hands all the way. Now on the road to recovery. Thank you.
- Professional, caring, extremely knowledgeable who is prepared to go the extra mile for his patients. Professor was instrumental in arranging my surgery and IORT as quickly as possible. My grateful thanks to the Professor and his team of passionate professionals.
- Prof Vaidya handled my case with great care and compassion. His advice and the subsequent surgical procedures he performed were excellent. I have been left confident that my cancer has been defeated and I have been left with minimal aesthetic damage thanks to his surgical skill.
- I was going through the darkest days of my life having being diagnosed with DCIS . I was terrified and emotionally distraught. Professor Vaidya Is an absolute angel and put me at ease from the moment I spoke with him. An expert in his field but also has a warm manner with people showing compassion and kindness throughout. He went out of his way to always get back to me when necessary. I will never forget how and his team helped me through this.
- I can wholeheartedly recommend Professor Vaidya. He has been incredibly supportive, professional & understanding throughout. I didn't know TARGET-IORT at all. As I was a suitable candidate, He gave me a lot of information about it and he was always ready to answer my numerous questions. Although my case was not particularly urgent, I was operated on very quickly and after the operation I had no disconfort. My scars are healing well. Professor Vaidya did a great job!
- I can wholeheartedly recommend Professor Vaidya. He has been incredibly supportive, professional & understanding throughout. I wanted to have TARGET-IORT rather than regular radiotherapy and I am lucky that I was a suitable candidate. My surgery & aftercare has been exemplary.
- Professor Vaidya provided a service beyond my highest expectations. I have total trust in his truly excellent clinical and surgical skills. His professionalism, personal support and communications are second to none. I'm extremely grateful for his care and unreservedly recommend him (but not to too many, in case I still want space in his clinic diary!). Dr Debbie Eklund
- Professional and experienced, extremely caring!
- After an unfortunately diagnosis and experience with the NHS, I found Professor Vaidya online via his pioneering advancements with Breast Cancer treatment. We had multiple consultations in the lead up to surgery (which was a huge success) and the after care was brilliant!
