Radiation Oncology
Radiation oncologists work closely with medical oncologists, surgeons and other doctors for most appropriate, personalised care. We offer painless treatments with technologies, including Cyberknife VSI, Robotic Radiosurgery, and IGRT. Each radiation oncologist has specialised training in performing radiation treatment with focus on minimizing radiation dose to normal tissues.
The Disease Management Group (DMG) approach in oncology care involves specialized multidisciplinary teams for each cancer type. It includes medical, radiation, surgical oncologists, and care providers like physicians, nurses, pharmacists, dieticians, therapists, and psychologists. The DMG is backed by a Core Clinical Group (CCG) with experts in various fields, such as pathology, nutrition, rehabilitation, cyto-oncology, nuclear medicine, and palliative care. It acts as a central point of contact for patients and their families. Regular meetings are held to discuss cases and develop clinical protocols.
Medanta Cancer Institute has organ-specific surgeons and technology. Doctors across the liver, brain, head and neck, lung, prostate, breast, female reproductive organs, and abdomen are available to ensure the right specialist treats the right type of cancer.
Medanta has advanced radiation technologies for treating and diagnosing different types of cancers. The availability of Cyberknife VSI, Tomotherapy, linear accelerators with VMAT/IGRT and an Integrated Brachytherapy Unit ensures the complete bouquet of radiation delivery systems. We can detect small tumours, facilitating early treatment. Any size 5 mm to 135 cm tumors can be treated using these technologies.
Brain tumors are abnormal cell growths in the brain. There are two types: noncancerous and cancerous. Symptoms include severe headaches, seizures, persistent nausea, or paralysis. At Medanta, we use Cyberknife VSI for robotic cancer treatment.
It is a condition that happens when normal cells in the liver become abnormal in appearance and behaviour. Malignant or cancerous cells that develop in the liver's normal cells cause the condition called hepatocellular carcinoma. At Medanta, we use surgery, radiation therapy, thermal ablation, and percutaneous ethanol injection as treatment options. Our team specialises in liver transplantation and radiation therapy.
Lung Cancer People who smoke have the greatest risk of lung cancer. The risk of lung cancer increases with the length of time and number of cigarettes you have smoked. As lung cancer stages advance, lung cancer symptoms include coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and bloody mucus. Treatment includes surgery, chemotherapy, and/or radiation. At Medanta surgeries such as Pneumonectomy, Wedge Resection and radiation therapy using Cyberknife VSI is carried out with great precision.
Head and neck cancer is a group of cancers that develop in the tissues of the head and neck region. They are often categorized based on their specific location. At Medanta, we provide comprehensive and state-of-the-art treatment using IMRT, IGRT and SRS.
Brain tumors are abnormal cell growths in the brain. There are two types: noncancerous and cancerous. Symptoms include severe headaches, seizures, persistent nausea, or paralysis. At Medanta, we use Cyberknife VSI for robotic cancer treatment.
Irregular growth of cells in the prostate gland of the patient leads to prostate cancer. Medanta specialises in treating the prostate cancer robotically. Prostate cancer can be treated by methods such as robotic surgery, laparoscopic prostatectomy and incisions.
Head and neck cancer is a group of cancers that develop in the tissues of the head and neck region. They are often categorized based on their specific location. At Medanta, we provide comprehensive and state of- the-art treatment using IMRT, IGRT and SRS.
Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in females globally. Age, genetics, and dense breast tissue are among its causes. Medanta has a specialized Breast Services team offering treatments like mastectomy, radiation therapy, and lumpectomy for breast cancer.
