Radiation therapy treatment uses high-energy rays to target and destroy cancer cells. At Dr. Gawande Oncocare Centre in Pimpri-Chinchwad, our state-of-the-art radiation therapy equipment ensures precision, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Radiation therapy is often used alongside surgery and chemotherapy for a comprehensive treatment approach.
Radiation therapy can be delivered externally, using machines that focus radiation on the tumor, or internally, through procedures like brachytherapy, where radiation sources are placed near the tumor. The treatment is designed to shrink or eliminate cancer cells, preventing further spread and recurrence.
Patients may experience mild side effects such as fatigue, skin irritation, or localized pain. However, our team provides thorough guidance on managing these effects, ensuring that the treatment remains as comfortable and effective as possible. Radiation therapy has proven to be highly successful in treating various types of cancer, including prostate, breast, and lung cancer.
