About Radiation Oncology
Radiation oncology is a branch of medicine that uses high-energy rays to fight cancer. It is one of the main ways to treat cancer, and radiation oncologists are in charge of designing and delivering the radiation therapy. Radiation oncologists collaborate with other health experts, such as radiation therapists and medical physicists, to figure out the best type and amount of radiation therapy for each patient. The aim of radiation therapy is to kill cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue as much as possible. Radiation therapy does this by harming the DNA inside cancer cells, stopping them from multiplying and growing. Eventually, the harmed cancer cells die and the body gets rid of them. Radiation therapy can be used by itself or with other treatments, such as chemotherapy or surgery. The exact treatment plan depends on the kind and stage of cancer, as well as other things like the patient’s overall health.

With a team of highly qualified and experienced radiation oncologists, we stand out as a beacon of excellence in this field, offering cutting-edge technology, world-class facilities, and a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care. Our commitment to innovation and patient-centric care has earned us the reputation of being one of the best Radiation Oncology Hospitals in India. Some of the advanced procedures available at Fortis Healthcare are:
- Elekta Versa HD: This linear accelerator has the capability to administer a range of radiation therapy techniques, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). These techniques can precisely target the tumour and spare the normal tissues, reducing the side effects and improving the quality of life of the patients.
- Radiation therapy for breast cancer: This is a type of external beam radiation therapy that uses X-rays to treat breast cancer. Radiation therapy for breast cancer can be given after surgery to remove the tumour (adjuvant therapy) or before surgery to shrink the tumour (neoadjuvant therapy). Radiation therapy for breast cancer can be given to the whole breast, the chest wall, the lymph nodes, or a part of the breast (partial breast irradiation). Fortis Healthcare uses the ABC technique for treating left-sided breast cancers, which reduces the radiation exposure to the heart.
