Radiotherapy is a term used for types of treatment that use radiation to destroy or shrink cancer cells and tumors. The two main types of radiotherapy used to treat cancer are external and internal.we provide the Best Radiotherapy in Powai to treat Cancer patients. Our team is well trained in high-precision radiotherapy.
Radiotherapy can help achieve different treatment goals. For example, it can improve the effectiveness of surgery, help prevent the spread of cancer or relieve the symptoms of advanced cancer.
External Radiotherapy is the delivery of radiation to a patient's cancer site from a remote source outside the body. Systems that generate different types of radiation for external radiotherapy include orthovoltage X-ray machines, cobalt-60 machines, Linear Gas pedals, Proton beam machines, and neutron beam machines.The Radiation Oncologist decides which type of system is most appropriate for treating a particular cancer patient.External Beam Radiation therapy is the radiation treatment option used for most cancer patients.It is used to treat many types of tumors, including head and neck, breast, Lung, colon, and prostate cancer.Radiation Therapy in Powai is the most common therapy for breast cancer.We uses the most modern technology to treat cancer.
Depending on the location of the tumor, different levels of radiation are used in external radiotherapy. Low-energy radiation does not penetrate very deeply into the body and is used mainly to treat superficial tumors such as skin cancer.High-energy radiation is used to treat other, deeper cancerous tumors.
Involves focusing a beam of radiation on a small area and delivering very high doses. The therapy targets the tumor from different sides so that the radiation beams converge on the tumor. In this way, the ideal amount of Radiation needed to kill tumor cells is delivered directly to the tumor site, and irradiation of the area around the tumor is minimized. Stereotactic radiation therapy is very effective in treating small tumors,such as head and brain tumors.SRT gives Radiotherapy to many different parts of the body.If You are Looking For the Best Radiation Oncologist in Powai.

In some cases, brachytherapy can be used in combination with external radiotherapy. In both methods, external radiotherapy aims to kill cancer cells in a large area around the tumor, while brachytherapy delivers a higher dose of radiation to kill the main, concentrated mass of cancer cells.
In intracavitary brachytherapy, a Radiation oncologist uses a metal or plastic device (applicator) to insert radioactive sources into body cavities such as the vagina, uterus or larynx and irradiate the cavity walls or surrounding tissue.The radioactive source is usually loaded into the applicator. After the tumor has received a certain dose of radiation, the doctor removes the applicator along with the radioactive isotope.
This is painless treatment.Dr Deepanjali Adulkar provides the Best Radiotheraphy in Powai.Gamma Knife radiosurgery is a very precise type of radiotherapy in which intense beams of gamma rays are very precisely focused on brain lesions.This damages or destroys the DNA of the tumor cells so that they can no longer reproduce and grow. At the same time, healthy tissue is preserved and the tumor is destroyed by the gamma rays.Despite its name, Gamma Knife surgery involves neither traditional surgery nor the use of a real knife. Gamma Knife Radiosurgery is referred to as "surgery" because the result is similar to surgery.
Gamma Knife Radiosurgery can be effective in treating tumors, blood vessel malformations, and nerve disorders. Surgeons and radiation oncologists use the Gamma Knife system slightly differently in each case:
