Radiation oncology is a medical speciality that utilises high-energy radiation to treat cancer patients by damaging the DNA inside cancer cells. Radiation therapy aims to target and destroy cancer cells while minimising damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
We are one of the centres in North India, where we are doing External beam radiotherapy with Varian’s True beam STx Linear accelerator, through which we can deliver all types of advance techniques including 3DCRT, IMRT, Rapid Arc IGRT, SRS/SRT, SBRT, DIBH and Electron beam therapy.
We also have Varian’s GammaMed plus iX brachytherapy unit, through which, we do CT-based Intracavitary and Interstitial brachytherapy in gynaecological and non-gynaecological cancer like head and neck and breast cancer.
Reach out to us today, if you or your loved one has been diagnosed with cancer and is in need of radiation therapy.
Nuclear Medicine helps identify tumours and assess the stage of Cancer. These techniques also help in the selection of treatment. Nuclear medicine scanning such as Bone scans and PET (positron emission tomography) scans are painless and usually done as an outpatient procedure at Regency Healthcare.
The state of art Modality PET-CT (Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography) is a type of Nuclear Medicine Imaging. A PET scan uses a small amount of radioactive material called Radiotracers also called Radiopharmaceuticals which measures important body functions, such as cellular metabolism which helps doctors evaluate how well organs and tissues are functioning and may also detect the early onset of disease before other imaging tests can.
CT imaging uses special X-Ray equipment and in some cases contrast material to produce multiple images of the inside of the body. It details about the anatomic information of the body.
PET-CT is a fusion of the PET scans as well as CT scan. This combined scans help pinpoint abnormal metabolic activities and may provide more accurate diagnosis
Symptoms of cancer vary widely depending on the type of disease. However, there are some general or common symptoms such as
For best cancer care, it is advised to see an oncologist as soon as you see any symptoms to screen for cancer possibilities. If you are experiencing above mentioned symptoms or any other seek cancer care treatment immediately. We have cancer care counseling available as well.
These are the best possible ways that oncologists suggest can help to reduce the possibility of cancer
The different stages of cancer help doctors to classify the severity of cancer. The cancer is assigned a stage ranging from I to IV.
Stage I: The cancer is usually a small cancer or tumor that hasn’t grown too deep. It is also called early-stage cancer.
Stage II & III: Tumors in stages II and III have grown larger and have made their way to the lymph nodes.
Stage IV: At this stage, the cancer is called advanced cancer or metastatic cancer. This means cancer has spread to other organs and parts of the body.
There are various treatment options available. However, the oncologist decides which one treatment or a combination of cancer treatment options will be the best way forward. All of this can be discussed in your cancer counseling session/s.
The available treatment options in Regency are
In addition to destroying cancer cells, chemotherapy also destroys normal cells which can cause side effects. Some of the side effects of this cancer care treatment that patients experience are
All of the side effects of chemotherapy and other cancer care treatment options are discussed with patients in cancer care counselling sessions before starting the treatment.
If caught in the early stages, there is a high possibility that cancer can be cured. However, there is no permanent cure available for later stages of cancer.
Yes, some people have an increased risk of particular types of cancer because they have an inherited gene fault. These faulty genes can be passed on from parent to child. However, being born with one inherited faulty gene doesn’t mean that a person will definitely get cancer. They do have a higher risk of developing particular types of cancer than other people.
