Radiation Oncology
Welcome to the Radiation Oncology Department at the National Institute of ENT & Hospital. Radiation oncology is a medical specialty that uses high-energy radiation to treat various types of cancer. Our department is committed to providing patients with the best radiation therapy to target and eliminate cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
Our Services Include:
-
External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): This is the most common form of radiation therapy used to treat different types of cancers. It delivers focused radiation from outside the body to target the tumor.
-
Brachytherapy (Internal Radiation Therapy): In this technique, radioactive sources are placed directly inside or very close to the tumor, delivering a high dose of radiation to the cancer cells with minimal exposure to surrounding tissues.
-
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): A non-invasive procedure that uses high doses of targeted radiation to treat tumors in the brain, spine, and other areas without the need for incisions or surgery.
-
Palliative Radiation Therapy: This is used to relieve symptoms of advanced cancer, such as pain, bleeding, or obstruction, improving the patient's quality of life.
-
Proton Therapy: An advanced form of radiation therapy that uses protons instead of X-rays to treat cancer. This technique provides more precise targeting of tumors with fewer side effects on surrounding healthy tissues.
-
Advanced Treatment Planning: We use state-of-the-art technologies such as 3D imaging and computer-assisted treatment planning to precisely target tumors and reduce radiation exposure to healthy tissues.
