Radiation oncology treatment is a cornerstone in the fight against cancer, offering precise and targeted therapies to destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue. At Behgal Hospital, we pride ourselves on providing advanced cancer care with state-of-the-art radiation oncology treatment. From diagnosis to treatment, our dedicated team ensures that every patient receives personalized and effective care.
Understanding Radiation Oncology Treatment
Radiation oncology involves using high-energy rays or particles to treat cancer. This specialized treatment can be used as a standalone option or combined with other therapies such as surgery or chemotherapy. The primary goal is to target tumors with pinpoint accuracy, minimizing side effects while maximizing treatment effectiveness. At Behgal Hospital, our advanced technology allows us to deliver tailored treatments that meet each patient’s unique needs.
How Does Radiation Oncology Work?
Radiation therapy functions by damaging the DNA within cancer cells, which hampers their growth and division. Healthy cells are better able to repair themselves, which is why radiation oncology is an effective and safe option for many types of cancer. The treatment approach will depend on the specific diagnosis and may include the following options:
- External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): The most common form, where radiation is delivered externally using linear accelerators.
- Brachytherapy: A type of internal radiation where radioactive sources are placed directly into or near the tumor.
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): A highly precise method for targeting small tumors, often used for brain cancer.
At Behgal Hospital, we offer all these modalities, ensuring our patients have access to the latest advancements in cancer care.
