About Anita M Borges

Described as a “passionate mentor whose heart and soul is dedicated to pathology,” Anita is a consultant histopathologist at SL Raheja Hospital, Mahim, and Director of the Centre for Oncopathology, Wadala, Mumbai. Her most memorable moment was being awarded the first Lifetime Achievement Award by the Indian Society of Head and Neck Oncologists – during which, as the daughter of a cancer surgeon, she was delighted to be introduced as a “pathologist who thinks like a surgeon.” Her advice to those just starting out? “Work like a pathologist, but think like a clinician.”
