Radiation therapy, also known as radiotherapy, is a form of medical treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill or damage cancer cells.
Most commonly used forms of radiation are X-rays as well as particals like protons, that are precisely aimed at the cancerous tumor. The goal is to shrink the tumor, stop its growth and eliminate it altogether. Radiation therapy is carefully planned to maximize its effectiveness while minimizing damage to nearby healthy tissues.

It can be given in all stages of cancer starting from early to advanced and metastatic cancers. It has been proven to be successful in curing and controlling cancer when used appropriatly depending of type and stage of cancer. Sometimes it is also used as palliation to relieve pain or as a hemostatic to stop bleeding in advanced stage of cancer.
Radiation Therapy works by directly damaging the DNA inside these cells and also by forming free radical inside the body which also damages tumor cells, preventing them from growing and dividing further. Radiation therapy is a localized treatment, meaning it targets a specific area of the body where cancer is present.
- damaging the DNA inside cancer cells
- preventing cancer cells from proliferating.
- palliative care to relieve symptoms
- induces changes in the behavior of cancer cells
The process is painless, and patients do not feel the radiation during the treatment. Radiation therapy can be used alone or in combination with surgery, chemotherapy, or immunotherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer. The specific approach is determined by the oncologist based on the individual patient's condition.

Effective Solution
Brachytherapy is a precise form of radiation therapy where radioactive sources are placed directly near or within the cancerous area. This minimises damage to surrounding healthy tissues. The method, using seeds or catheters, is effective for cancers like prostate, breast, and gynaecologic cancers. Its advantage lies in delivering high radiation doses to tumours while sparing normal tissues. Brachytherapy is versatile, used alone or combined with other treatments, making it a valuable tool in personalised cancer care, ensuring effective outcomes.
The personalized nature of brachytherapy and its ability to enhance treatment outcomes make it a valuable tool in the comprehensive approach to cancer management.

We ensure that medical information is communicated in an understandable and empathetic manner, addressing the patient’s concerns and questions. We also provide educational materials and resources that explain the radiation therapy process, potential side effects, and ways to manage them. This empowers patients to actively participate in their care.
Tailored treatment plans based on the patient’s specific diagnosis, medical history, and personal preferences.Patients are involve edit the decision-making process, discussing available treatment options, potential benefits, and risks.
We offer access to counselors who specialize in helping cancer patients cope with the emotional challenges associated with diagnosis and treatment. We are in plan to start support group sessions where patients can connect with others facing similar challenges, fostering a sense of community and understanding.
We have specialised pain management plan to address any discomfort or pain associated with radiation therapy. Regularly monitor patients for any treatment-related side effects and proactively manage them to enhance their overall well-being.
We do seamless coordination between the Radiation Oncology Department and other medical specialties involved in the patient’s care, such as surgery or medical oncology. We give proper plan for long-term follow-up care, including regular check-ups and screenings, to monitor the patient’s progress and address any new concerns.
Respect cultural, religious, and personal preferences of the patient, ensuring that their beliefs are integrated into their care plan. We safeguard patient privacy and confidentiality at all times, creating a safe and respectful environment.
We encourage patients to provide feedback about their experiences, and use this feedback to continuously improve the quality of care and services. We are engaged in quality improvement initiatives to enhance the overall patient experience and outcomes.
