Professor Vaidya's research has been in surgery, tobacco eradication, surgical oncology and for better understanding breast cancer and for improving treatments (surgery, radiotherapy and oncology) of patients with breast cancer.

This procedure is called TARGIT- which stands for TARGeted Intraoperative radioTherapy. It is commonly called Intrabeam TARGIT IORT procedure and has been now been used to treat over 45,000 breast cancer patients in 38 countries worldwide.
