Radiation oncology at Manipal Jivisha Sonipat employs focused high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells or shrink tumours. Delivered primarily through external beam radiation, brachytherapy (internal radiation), or advanced stereotactic approaches, radiation therapy is a vital component in multimodal cancer treatment.
The centre utilises cutting-edge equipment, including linear accelerators that enable intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). These techniques achieve high precision in targeting tumours while protecting surrounding healthy tissue. Radiation oncologists work closely with the whole care team to sequence treatments optimally, whether as a standalone therapy, adjuvant to surgery, or combined with chemotherapy.
Why Manipal Jivisha?
Radiation oncologists at Manipal Jivisha prioritise supportive care alongside precise radiation treatments, expertly managing side effects such as skin irritation, fatigue, swelling, and pain. This patient-centred approach not only targets the cancer effectively but also significantly enhances patients' quality of life. Through continuous monitoring, symptom management, and emotional support, they ensure holistic well-being throughout the entire radiation therapy journey, empowering patients to face challenges with resilience and comfort.
What is Cancer?
Cancer develops when the body’s cells begin to multiply uncontrollably, forming masses called tumours, which may be benign (localised) or malignant (capable of spreading). Cancer can arise from many cell types, including carcinoma, sarcoma, melanoma, lymphoma, and leukaemia. For example, lung cancer originates from the epithelial cells lining the airways and tends to grow rapidly.
