Radiation Therapy: Excellence in Cancer Treatment at Dr. Rao’s Hospital

Cancer is a daunting diagnosis, but with advancements in medical science, powerful treatment options are available to combat this disease. One such treatment is radiation therapy, and Dr. Rao’s Hospital stands at the forefront of providing this cutting-edge therapy with precision and care. The hospital is devoted to providing the best cancer treatment and patient care under the direction of the renowned Dr. Mohana Rao Patibandla.

Understanding Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. This treatment damages the DNA of cancerous cells, inhibiting their ability to grow and divide. Over time, these damaged cells die off, and the body naturally eliminates them. Radiation therapy is often used in conjunction with other treatments, such as surgery and chemotherapy, to improve patient outcomes.

Types of Radiation Therapy

  1. External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT):

    • This is the most common form of radiation therapy. It uses a linear accelerator machine to deliver high-energy beams to the cancer site precisely.
    • Techniques such as 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D CRT), Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), and Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) enhance the precision and effectiveness of EBRT.

  2. Internal Radiation Therapy (Brachytherapy):

    • In this method, radioactive sources are placed inside or near the tumor. It allows a high radiation dose to target the cancer while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
    • Brachytherapy is commonly used for cancers of the prostate, cervix, and breast.

  3. Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT):

    • These advanced techniques deliver highly focused radiation beams to small, well-defined tumors, often in a single or a few sessions.
    • SRS is typically used for brain tumors, while SBRT targets tumors in the body, such as those in the lungs or liver.
