Radiotherapy (Oncology Radiation)

Radiation Oncology Hospital in Kanakapura Road


Radiation therapy is a cornerstone of modern cancer treatment, utilized in approximately 65% of all cancer cases to cure tumours, prevent recurrence, or provide palliative relief. By using high-energy beams to damage the DNA of cancer cells, it effectively treats breast, lung, prostate, head and neck, and gynaecological cancers. As a leading Radiation Oncology Hospital in South Bangalore, Manipal Hospital Kanakapura Road brings cancer care through a blend of clinical expertise and cutting-edge technology. The radiotherapy suite is powered by the state-of-the-art Varian TrueBeam Linear Accelerator and other advanced treatments, including IMRT, IGRT, and Stereotactic Radiosurgery.

Facilities & Services

The department is equipped with a robust infrastructure designed to handle both routine and complex oncological cases. Our primary goal is to provide seamless, effective, and safe radiation delivery.

  • Varian TrueBeam SVC Linear Accelerator: A state-of-the-art platform with SGRT (Surface Guided Radiation Therapy) compatibility, ensuring sub-millimeter accuracy

  • HyperArc Technology: Specifically designed for advanced Stereotactic cases (SRS/SRT), allowing for high-dose delivery to multiple brain metastases with speed and precision

  • VMAT and RapidArc: An advanced form of radiation therapy where a continuous, 360-degree Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) delivery ensures the radiation beam is shaped to the tumor’s exact 3D profile, reducing treatment time while improving dose precision

  • IMRT & IGRT: Intensity-modulated and Image-guided Radiotherapies for pinpoint accuracy

  • 3DCRT: Conventional 3D Conformal Radiotherapy

  • SBRT: Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy for targeted lung, liver, prostate, spine treatments, and other organs

  • SGRT: Surface Guided Radiotherapy with Real-time 3D surface tracking for accurate positioning 

  • SRS: Stereotactic Radiosurgery for high-precision, high-dose radiation used for non-surgical treatment of brain tumours

  • DIBH (deep inspiratory breath hold) and Respiratory Motion Management: Techniques that sync radiation with breathing to protect vital organs like the heart and lungs

FAQ's

The Varian TrueBeam system allows for faster, more precise treatments. Its sub-millimeter accuracy and real-time imaging capabilities mean that the radiation beam stays locked onto the tumor even as it moves during breathing, significantly reducing the risk to healthy organs.

No, the radiation treatment itself is painless and very similar to getting a standard X-ray. While some patients may experience side effects like fatigue or skin sensitivity in the treated area later on, the actual session is non-invasive and typically lasts only a few minutes.

Both are high-precision treatments. SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery) is typically used for tumors within the brain, often delivering a high dose in a single session. SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy) applies similar precision to tumors in the lungs, liver, or spine, usually spread over a few sessions.

SGRT uses 3D camera technology to monitor your skin surface in real-time. If you move even slightly out of the planned position, the system automatically pauses the radiation beam, ensuring that only the intended target receives the dose.

Many patients continue to work and maintain their routine, though this depends on the intensity of the treatment and the area being treated. Your oncologist will provide a personalized plan to help you manage fatigue and other side effects.
