Radiation Oncologist in India

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) uses computer-controlled linear accelerators to provide precise radiation doses to benign and malignant tumors or exact areas within the tumor.

It enables the radiation beams to conform to the tumor’s three-dimensional shape to precisely irradiate it using several small beams of photon and proton of different intensities.

Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) uses imaging techniques with high-energy beams for each session to treat cancerous and non-cancerous tumors.

Dr. Sridhar PS, an expert radiation oncologist in India, uses IGRT to treat all forms of cancer. The use of high-quality pictures helps deliver potent radiation to precisely focused treatment areas. This allows larger radiation doses to be given, reducing the treatment duration and increasing the chance of tumor control.

Brachytherapy, also called internal radiation therapy, involves surgically placing radioactive capsules, seeds, or other devices directly near or in the tumor.

Radiation oncologist in India commonly uses brachytherapy to treat cervix, breast, head, neck and prostate cancers, soft tissue, sarcoma, etc. The implants target the cancerous tissues by emitting radiation for a limited period while sparing the surrounding healthy tissues. It helps reduce treatment time and causes fewer side effects.

Hyperthermia is a type of treatment in which body tissue is heated to as high as 113 °F to help damage and kill cancer cells with little or no harm to normal tissue. Hyperthermia to treat cancer is also called thermal therapy, thermal ablation, or thermotherapy. Heatstroke is the most serious form of hyperthermia and can be life-threatening.

Targeted therapy uses drugs to identify and attack specific aspects of cancer cells, like proteins or genes that promote the growth and metastasis of the disease. Further, they may also target cells that aid in the development and spread of cancer.

The FDA has approved this treatment for 15 plus cancers, such as colon, prostate, breast, and lung. However, it may only work if the tumor has the correct target.

Chemotherapy uses powerful medications that eliminate rapidly dividing cells in your body. Since cancer cells grow and multiply significantly more quickly than the majority of body cells, chemotherapy treatment in India is most frequently utilized to treat cancer.

In order to treat a variety of malignancies, chemotherapy can be administered singly or in combination with other treatments such as radiation and surgery.

Robotic cancer surgery enables surgeons to carry out a variety of complex procedures with greater control, precision, and adaptability than is feasible with traditional methods.

The surgeon controls the robotic arms through a computer console near the operating table. It offers a 3D, magnified, high-definition view of the surgical site, thereby helping surgeons perform delicate and intricate operations that might be challenging or impossible to complete using other techniques.
