Radiotherapy (Oncology Radiation)
Linac radiotherapy treatment hospital in Rangapani, Siliguri
Radiation Oncology is the branch of cancer therapy which makes use of a high-energy radiation beam to target and destroy the cancer cells and stop their replication inside the body. Radiation therapy can be used alone or as an adjunct therapy along with surgery and chemotherapy for the management of cancer.
OUR STORY
Know About Us
Why Manipal?
-
The Department of Radiation Oncology consists of a highly qualified and experienced team of Radiation Oncologists, Medical Physicists and Radiation therapy technologists, backed by state-of-the-art equipment capable of delivering a precise dose of radiation accurately to the tumour with minimum damage to normal structures.
-
The department has upgraded its technology from time to time and currently offers the entire range of radiation oncology services, including, 3D conformal radiotherapy, IMRT, IGRT, VMAT, SRS, SRT, SBRT, total body irradiation, brachytherapy-intracavitary and interstitial implants.
-
Patients with other comorbidities are treated under a single roof, as Manipal Hospitals Rangapani, Siliguri is one of the best hospitals offering multidisciplinary care not only in oncology but well supported by all super speciality departments and highly advanced diagnostic departments.
-
The department is one of the leading centres in the field of brachytherapy (insertion of radioactive implants in the tissue)
-
The department is equipped with the latest Elekta Infinity comprehensive image-guided radiation therapy system with volumetric modulated arc therapy VMAT, Varian GammaMed brachytherapy system, Philips Brilliance Big bore oncology four-dimensional CT Simulator, Varian Acuity conventional simulator, Philips ADAC Pinnacle treatment planning system, Varian Eclipse contouring workstation with brachytherapy planning.
Treatment & Procedures
Image-guided Brachytherapy (IGBT)
It makes use of advanced imaging technology for accurate, safe and effective placement of radioactive implants (intracavitary/interstitial implant) close to the cancer tissue. It is used alone or in combination with external radiotherapy.
Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT)
It is also employed for precise destruction of tumour cells in the brain and the spinal cord. As compared to SRS, it makes use of a series of radiation therapy over a shorter time.
Stereotactic body/ablative radiotherapy…
It is used for precise targeting of tumours in the lungs, spine, liver, neck, lymph node or other soft tissues. It makes use of 3D imaging to target high doses of radiation to the tumor in a short overall number of treatment days (usually 1 to 5 days treatment).
Hypofractionated Radiation Treatment
It is used as an adjunct therapy in early-stage breast cancer patients undergoing breast conservative surgery. As compared to conventional radiation therapy, this treatment requires fewer therapy sessions.
Image-guided radiation treatment…
This technology is used to target tumours that move, such as the lungs, prostate, liver. Imaging (X-ray) is used along with radiation therapy to improve the precision and accuracy of radiation delivery.
Volumetric Modulated Arc (VMAT)
This technology is useful for delivering radiation therapy near sensitive body organs. The key advantages of this technology include high precision, faster treatment and also reduced risk of side-effects.
Intensity-modulated Radiotherapy…
An advanced form of radiation oncology that makes use of computer-assisted technology to deliver precise radiation dose at a specific area. The radiation dose intensity can be varied throughout the treatment fields.
3D Conformal Radiotherapy (3D…
An advanced form of cancer treatment where the radiation beams are focussed to match the exact shape of cancer to kill them precisely and avoid harm to surrounding normal healthy cells.
Radiation Treatment Process Instruction
Radiation therapy uses waves of energy, such as light or heat, to treat cancers, other tumor and conditions. The form of radiation used in cancer therapy is a high-energy type known as ionizing radiation.
Radiation Treatment Planning Process
Radiation treatment planning is done before beginning radiation treatment. Radiation oncologist and the radiation therapy team carefully plan the treatment in a process called radiation simulation. Treatment planning usually involves positioning your body, making marks on your skin and taking imaging. They plan the appropriate external beam radiotherapy…
