Radiation therapy is used to contract or tear downtumors using high-energy X-rays. Fractionated radiation therapy delivers a fraction of the complete radiation dose over several sessions. By delivering a fraction of the total radiation dose at one time, the healthy cells are protected from permanent injury or death. Firstly, a treatment plan will be made.Accurate staging of a tumor is made possible by various imaging studies which enable the radiologist to determine the precise size and extend of a tumor, possible invasion of adjacent organs or blood vessels, whether it has spread to regional lymph nodes and whether metastases to distant sites has occurred. This information enables planning the therapy for the patient, keeping in mind the stage of the disease.

Radiation therapy is usually intended to cure your cancer. However, sometimes the tumor may be very advanced for the treatment. In this case, radiation therapy is the remedial alternative. Our skilled team of specialists and staff operate with modern technology and facilities.
