Radiation Treatment for Cancer in Delhi Holistic Avenues of Care at Health 29

Radiation therapy for cancer , also known as radiotherapy, is a treatment using ionizing radiation for the purpose of controlling cancer cell growth in patients, shrinking tumors, and relieving symptoms related to cancer. It can be used in combination with other therapies, including surgery or chemotherapy, depending on the type of cancer and individual patient needs. It is delivered from outside the body (external beam radiation therapy) or from within the body (brachytherapy), enabling very localized treatment of cancer cells, with minimal exposure to the healthy tissue.

  1. Radiation Treatment for Cancer in Delhi: Holistic Avenues of Care at Health 29

  2. Radiation treatment is one of the most crucial kinds of treatment that is dispensed to patients who are affected by cancer. High doses of radiation are required to target and destroy cancer cells. Radiation therapy is generally a highly specialized kind of treatment that requires the right amount of care and precise technology. One such place for radiation treatment in Delhi is Health 29. Exploring Radiation Therapy Services at Health 29 This article provides insights into the variety of radiation therapy services offered at Health 29, to cater for different types and stages of cancers and provide patients with the best possible outcomes. What is Radiation Therapy? Radiation therapy for cancer , also known as radiotherapy, is a treatment using ionizing radiation for the purpose of controlling cancer cell growth in patients, shrinking tumors, and relieving symptoms related to cancer. It can be used in combination with other therapies, including surgery or chemotherapy, depending on the type of cancer and individual patient needs. It is delivered from outside the body (external beam radiation therapy) or from within the body (brachytherapy), enabling very localized treatment of cancer cells, with minimal exposure to the healthy tissue. Types of Radiation Therapy at Health 29 Health 29 offers various types of radiation therapy that have been designed to meet the specific needs of each patient. Some of the advanced types of radiation treatment are discussed below: External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)

  3. · Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): IMRT makes use of sophisticated imaging and sensitive control to deliver intensity-variable radiation doses. The intensity of the radiation can be modulated, thus maximizing the dose delivery within a tumor while sparing tissues near that tumor. This is ideal for complex or irregularly shaped tumors. · Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): IGRT combines imaging and radiation delivery to ensure that the target is always hit correctly. Health 29 resorts to IGRT for cancers located in sensitive areas like the prostate and lungs. In these cancerous cases, the location of the tumors changes a little with time. · Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): SBRT delivers very high concentration of radiation in only a few sessions for the treatment of small, defined tumors. This is more effective especially for early-stage lung cancer, liver metastases, and spinal tumours. Brachytherapy · High Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy: HDR brachytherapy is direct placement of radioactive sources within or at the site of the tumor, through which high doses are delivered within a short period. Health 29 applies this method in cancers that impact organs insignificantly, such as cervical and prostate and breast cancers. · Low-Dose Rate (LDR) Brachytherapy: Health 29 offers LDR brachytherapy for some cases. In this, small radioactive implants are placed in or near the tumor. This treatment is very commonly used with prostate cancer patients, being a successful long-term treatment option with fewer side effects.

  4. Proton Therapy Health 29 is among the few Delhi institutions that offer proton therapy. Proton therapy is a new-type of radiation that uses proton beams to pinpoint and target cancer cells with considerable minimization of exposure to the healthy tissues in the surrounding. It is ideal for pediatric cancers and tumors near sensitive structures such as the brain and spinal cord. Total Body Irradiation (TBI) Total Body Irradiation (TBI) is broadly implemented in preparing bone marrow transplant in conditions like leukemia. Health 29 provides TBI with the most current shielding, where a patient is subjected to evenly distributed amount of radiation over their entire body or particular areas depending on what the patient needs. Advantages of Radiation Therapy at Health 29 The treatment programs provided by Health 29 have benefits that include · Accuracy and Protection: Health 29 employs the latest imaging and real-time monitoring techniques to ensure that the targeted radiation precisely hits the cancer cells while causing minimal damage to tissues surrounding the tumor. · Customized Care Plans: Each patient receives a customized treatment plan devised by the team at Health 29, which consists of oncologists, radiologists, and physicists with the goal of maximizing efficiency while minimizing side effects.

  5. · Proven Experience: The radiation oncology team is skilled at handling complicated cases and provides compassionate and effective care along the entire pathway for the patient.
