Radiotherapy is a cornerstone of modern cancer treatment, utilizing high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. While cancer remains the primary indication for radiotherapy, select benign conditions may also benefit from this approach. Our Department of Radiation Oncology offers a full spectrum of teletherapy options tailored to each patient's needs including 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy, Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), and Stereotactic Radiation Therapy. Brachytherapy delivers radiation directly to the tumor site using implanted isotopes or devices, allowing for highly localized treatment. Our expert team provides state-of-the-art brachytherapy with precision and care.
Radiation therapy is typically outpatient-based and does not require anesthesia or hospitalization. Contrary to common misconceptions, radiotherapy is not limited to palliative care—it plays a vital role in curative treatment for many cancers. When used appropriately, it can lead to long-term, cancer-free survival. Radiotherapy also alleviates symptoms and enhances quality of life for patients with advanced disease.
Our dedicated team—including radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiotherapy technicians, and nurses—works in close collaboration to deliver safe, effective, and precise treatment. We are committed to improving both cancer outcomes and patient well-being. Beyond clinical care, we actively engage in cancer research and education. We train students, residents, clinical fellows, medical physicists, and technicians to cultivate the next generation of cancer specialists and healthcare leaders.
