What is Radiotherapy?

Radiotherapy is a process in which high-energy ionizing radiation is focused at the tumor in order to kill the cancerous cells. Almost half of all people with cancer have radiotherapy included in their treatment plan. Radiotherapy can be classified into two distinct categories. Dr. Bhooshan Zade is the Best Radiotherapy Oncologist in Pune and provides the Best Cancer Treatment in camp, Pune.

  1. External beam Radiotherapy (EBRT)- The radiation is delivered from an external source in this procedure, usually a machine called a linear accelerator, which focuses high energy X-rays onto the tumor site

  2. Internal radiotherapy- A small piece of radioactive material is placed temporarily inside the body near the tumor during this procedure, known as brachytherapy. Or a radioactive liquid may be used, which could be swallowed or injected into the body

Radiotherapy may be administered for curative purposes, involving the elimination of the tumor, preventing recurrence, or both. It may also be administered for palliative purposes, which do not intend to eliminate the tumor, but relieve the symptoms that may be experienced as a consequence of cancer. Some examples of palliative radiotherapy involve-

  • Radiation given to the brain to shrink tumors formed because of metastasis

  • Radiation given to diminish a tumor growing within a bone or pressing the spine, which may cause pain

Extreme Hypofractionated Radiation for breast cancer.

( FAST and FAST FORWARD protocol)

  1. Radiation therapy is very important in management of breast cancer.
  2. All breast conservation surgery patients and locally advanced breast cancer patients need Radiation therapy.
  3. Traditionally breast Radiation therapy takes 1 to 1.5 months of time to complete.
  4. In extreme hypo fractionated Radiation protocol we can complete this entire treatment in 5 to 8 days.
  5. This treatment protocol is supported by evidence from FAST and FAST FORWARD randomized trials from UK.
  6. This results in significant reduction in number of visits to a Radiation center in a COVID pandemic.
  7. This treatment protocol helps breast cancer in many aspects like less hospital visits, less loss of working days for working females, less outstation stay for patients coming from outside Pune and most importantly eliminating time factor that may hinder radiation therapy treatment in general.

Areas of Special Interest

Radiation Techniques

Radiation therapy, radiotherapy, or radiation oncology, often abbreviated RT, RTx, or XRT, is therapy using ionizing radiation, generally as part of cancer treatment to control or kill malignant cells and normally delivered by a linear accelerator. Radiation therapy may be curative in a number of types of cancer if they are localized to one area of the body.

CNS Tumors

The central nervous system (CNS) is the part of the nervous system consisting of the brain and spinal cord. The central nervous system is so named because it integrates the received information and coordinates and influences the activity of all parts of the bodies and it contains the majority of the nervous system.

Prostate Cancer

Prostate cancer also known as carcinoma of the prostate is when cancer develops in the prostate, an organ in the male regenerative system. Most prostate tumors are moderate developing; be that as it may, some develop generally rapidly.
