What is Radiation Oncology?
Radiation oncology is a specialized field that focuses on using high-energy radiation to treat cancer. It can be used as a:
- Primary treatment to destroy cancer cells.
- Pre-surgery treatment to shrink tumours.
- Post-surgery treatment to eliminate remaining cancer cells.
- Palliative treatment to relieve pain and improve quality of life in advanced cancer cases.
Radiation therapy works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, stopping their growth and preventing them from spreading.
Types of Radiation Therapy We Offer
-
External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
This is the most common type of radiation therapy, where a machine directs radiation beams at the tumour from outside the body. Advanced techniques like IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy) and IGRT (Image-Guided Radiation Therapy) ensure maximum accuracy and minimal damage to healthy tissues.
-
Brachytherapy (Internal Radiation Therapy)
In this treatment, radioactive sources are placed inside or near the tumour for direct and targeted radiation. It is commonly used for prostate, cervical, and breast cancers.
-
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
SBRT delivers high doses of radiation in fewer sessions, making it an effective option for lung, liver, and spinal tumours.
-
Palliative Radiation Therapy
For patients with advanced cancer, palliative radiation therapy helps in reducing pain, controlling symptoms, and improving quality of life.
