First in South Asia: Fortis Memorial, Gurugram, introduces Gamma Knife Esprit for high precision brain tumour treatment
Fortis Memorial Research Institute (FMRI), Gurugram, has introduced South Asia’s first Gamma Knife Esprit radiosurgery equipment for neurosurgical treatment. The launch event and Continuing Medical Education (CME) session took place on June 15, 2024, in the presence of over 500 clinicians. The lamp lighting ceremony was graced by Dr Rana Patir, Chairman - Neurosurgery, Dr Sandeep Vaishya, Executive Director - Neuro & Spine Surgery, Mr Anil Vinayak, Group COO; Dr Bishnu Panigrahi, Group Head – MSOG, Dr Ritu Garg, Chief Growth & Innovation Officer along with Mr Mahipal Bhanot, Senior VP & Business Head (FMRI, Shalimar Bagh, Vasant Kunj, Manesar & Defence Colony), Mr Yash Rawat, Facility Director, FMRI, Gurugram, Prof AK Banerji (Emeritus Director, AIIMS), Prof VS Mehta (Chairman Neurosurgery – Paras Health) & Dr BK Misra (Chairman Neurosurgery – PD Hinduja Hospital, Mumbai).
The ground breaking version of the Gamma Knife Esprit heralds a new era in the non-surgical high precision treatment of brain lesions. The Gamma Knife employs computer-guided precision to target brain tumours without actual cutting , making it an optimal choice for treating both malignant and benign tumours, including multiple brain metastases, meningiomas, acoustic tumours, pituitary adenomas & non-cancerous conditions like Trigeminal Neuralgia and AVMs.
Its precision is crucial for tumours in sensitive or hard-to-reach brain areas with sparing healthy brain tissues and allows patients to return to daily activities almost immediately.
On October 24, 2024, Fortis Gurugram celebrated a signicant milestone by completing over 100 successful Gamma Knife surgeries. The event featured a cake-cutting ceremony to honour the dedication and expertise of the Neurosurgery Department, led by Dr Rana Patir, Chairman - Neurosurgery & Gamma Knife, and Dr Sandeep Vaishya, Executive Director & HOD - Neurosurgery & Gamma Knife.
The celebration was attended by Mr Yash Rawat, Facility Director - Fortis Gurugram, along with senior clinicians and staff, who gathered to recognise the team’s commitment to excellence in neurosurgery. The occasion not only acknowledged the department’s achievements but also reinforced Fortis Gurugram's vision for clinical excellence and innovation in healthcare.
Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram, unveiled North and Central India’s rst MR Linac on September 5, 2024 in the presence of Mr Christian Kamill, Chargé d'Affaires a.i of the Embassy of Sweden, Dr Virender Yadav, CMO, Gurugram and Dr Ashutosh Raghuvanshi, MD & CEO, Fortis Healthcare, among others. The advanced MR Linac unit, which enables precise of targeting soft tissue cancers that are difcult to treat using conventional imaging and radiation techniques, is led by Dr A.K. Anand, Senior Director & Head - Radiation Oncology; Dr Swarupa Mitra, Director - Radiation Oncology; and Dr Amal Roy Chaudhoory, Director - Radiation Oncology, along with their team of radiation oncologists, physicists, and technologists.
The state-of-the-art Elekta Unity MR Linac technology integrates Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with high-energy radiation therapy, offering unparalleled precision in targeting and treating tumours. This cutting-edge innovation represents a signicant step forward in the ght against cancer, allowing real-time monitoring and treatment adjustments that minimize side effects and enhance patient outcomes.
On April 15, 2025, Fortis Gurugram launched the Fortis Institute of Genomic Medicine, a pioneering centre dedicated to harnessing the power of genomic science to transform patient care. Backed by Fortis’ advanced clinical ecosystem and Agilus Diagnostics’ extensive national footprint, the institute brings together a multi-disciplinary team of medical experts from Molecular Hematology, Oncology, Neurology, Pediatrics, Pathology and Genomic scientists along with bioinformaticians and AI (artificial intelligence) engineers.
Genomics is transforming the future of modern medicine and treatment modalities across specialties – Oncology, Cardiology, Neurology. Onco-genomics will help clinicians decode the genetic drivers of cancer, enabling targeted therapies that are more effective and less toxic than traditional one-size-fits-all treatments. Cardio-genomics will empower the early detection of inherited cardiac conditions, crucial for families with a history of sudden cardiac arrest, unexplained heart failure, or congenital heart disease. Meanwhile, Neuro-genomics will offer new hope for patients with complex neurological disorders, using gene-based insights to improve diagnosis and personalize interventions for conditions like epilepsy, Parkinson’s and rare neurodevelopmental syndromes. The power of Genomics has already delivered life-changing outcomes: a leukemia patient, initially headed for a transplant, received a new course of treatment following a precise genetic diagnosis; a woman with a silent hereditary cancer risk underwent genomic screening, leading to early detection and preventive care for three family members; and a lung cancer patient with a previously undetected MET-ST7 fusion (a genetic alteration)—identified solely through Fortis’ Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS)—is now thriving on targeted therapy.
In the near future, Fortis will also launch a Genomics-informed health registry, setting a new benchmark in precision medicine along with India’s first AI-powered genomic reporting platform designed specifically for Indian clinicians as per international recommendations by ACMG (American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics), AMP (Association for Molecular Pathology), and ASCO (American Society of Clinical Oncology), which will be compliant, clinically relevant, and intuitively designed for seamless integration into medical practice.
Senior clinicians and leaders present on the occasion included Dr Rahul Bhargava, Principal Director and Chief, Bone Marrow Transplant, FMRI, Gurugram; Dr Vinayak Agarwal, Senior Director & Head, Non-Invasive Cardiology, FMRI, Gurugram; Dr Praveen Gupta, Principal Director & Chief of Neurology, FMRI, Gurugram; Dr Nitesh Rohatgi, Senior Director, Medical Oncology, FMRI, Gurugram; Dr Ankur Bahl, Senior Director, Medical Oncology, FMRI, Gurugram; Dr Shrinidhi Nathany, Consultant, Molecular Haematology and Oncology, FMRI, Gurugram; Dr Ritu Garg, Chief Growth and Innovation Officer, Fortis Healthcare and Mr Yash Rawat, Facility Director, FMRI, Gurugram.

FAQ's
View allFAQ - Bone Marrow Transplant
1. What is a Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT)?
A Bone Marrow Transplant, also known as a Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT), is a procedure in which diseased or damaged bone marrow is replaced with healthy blood-forming stem cells.
2. Who may need a Bone Marrow Transplant?
BMT may be recommended for patients with certain blood cancers and serious blood disorders, including:
- Leukaemia
- Lymphoma
- Multiple Myeloma
- Aplastic Anaemia
- Thalassaemia
- Sickle Cell Disease
- Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
- Certain immune deficiency and inherited disorders
The need for transplantation depends on the patient's diagnosis, disease status, age, overall health and response to treatment.
3. What types of Bone Marrow Transplants are performed at Fortis Gurugram?
Fortis Gurugram offers different types of stem cell transplantation, including:
- Autologous BMT – using the patient's own stem cells
- Allogeneic BMT – using stem cells from a donor
- Matched Related Donor Transplant
- Matched Unrelated Donor Transplant
- Haploidentical or half-matched donor transplant
- Adult and Paediatric BMT
4. Do I need a fully matched donor for BMT?
Not necessarily. Depending on the patient's condition, transplant options may include a matched sibling, matched unrelated donor or a haploidentical (half-matched) donor. HLA testing and detailed medical evaluation are performed to identify the most appropriate donor option.
5. How is a donor matched?
Doctors use Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) testing to assess compatibility between the patient and potential donors. A closer HLA match can help improve the suitability of an allogeneic transplant.
6. How are stem cells collected?
Stem cells may be collected from:
- Peripheral blood
- Bone marrow
- Umbilical cord blood in selected cases
The appropriate collection method depends on the transplant plan and donor assessment.
7. How does the BMT process work?
Generally, BMT involves three major stages:
Conditioning: Chemotherapy, with or without radiation, prepares the body for transplantation.
Stem Cell Infusion: Healthy stem cells are infused into the patient's bloodstream.
Engraftment: The transplanted stem cells begin producing healthy blood cells in the bone marrow.
8. How long does recovery take after a BMT?
Recovery varies from patient to patient and depends on the disease, transplant type, complications and overall health. The immune system may take several months to recover, and long-term follow-up is an important part of post-transplant care.
9. What are the possible risks of a Bone Marrow Transplant?
BMT is a complex treatment and may involve risks such as infections, bleeding, organ-related complications, graft-versus-host disease in allogeneic transplantation, and other treatment-related complications. Your transplant team will explain the individual risks and expected benefits before treatment.
10. Why choose Fortis Hospital, Gurugram for Bone Marrow Transplant?
