It also has a comprehensive Cancer Care facility with surgical, medical and radiation oncology services. We have state of the art linear accelerator Clinac iX with FFF (Flattening filter free) technology, the first of its kind in India. We are capable of doing all types of cancer radiotherapy treatment starting from the basic conventional technique to more sophisticated Intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), Image guided radiotherapy (IGRT), Rapid Arc (VMAT) and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) techniques in a single machine. Besides we have cone beam CT scanner (CBCT) attached to our machine which helps us in taking daily CT scans of our patients prior to the radiation treatment. We also have the latest version of the radiotherapy planning software which helps us to guide the radiation dose to tumor only and sparing the adjacent normal tissues thereby achieving control of the tumor with minimal side effects.We also have a dedicated 24 channel brachytherapy set up (Gammamed Plus) with high dose rate (HDR) radioisotope source. It is also very helpful for treating some of the malignancies in females.
