About Radiation Oncologist Doctors

Conditions Treated with Radiation Therapy

Head and Neck Cancers (Radiation)

Radiation is a primary or adjuvant treatment for oral cavity, oropharynx, nasopharynx, and laryngeal cancers.

Cervical Cancer

Third most common cancer in Indian women. Concurrent chemoradiation is the standard treatment for locally advanced disease.

Brain Tumours and Metastases

Radiation — including stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) — treats primary brain tumours and cancer that has spread to the brain.

Prostate Cancer

Radiation therapy is an effective alternative to surgery for localised prostate cancer, with equivalent cure rates.

Palliative Radiation

Radiation used to relieve symptoms in advanced cancer — pain from bone metastases, bleeding, airway obstruction.

Radiation Therapy Tips

  • Don't wash off skin markings during radiation treatment
  • Moisturize irradiated skin with recommended cream
  • Maintain good nutrition during treatment
  • Report side effects to your team promptly

How to Prepare for Radiation Therapy

Before Your Visit

  • Attend the simulation appointment — a planning CT scan creates your personalised treatment plan
  • Inform about any metallic implants, pacemakers, or prosthetics
  • Arrange daily transportation — treatment is typically Monday to Friday for several weeks
  • Consult a dietitian — good nutrition during radiation improves tolerance and outcomes

During the Appointment

  • Arrive on time for sessions — each treatment takes only 15-20 minutes but requires precise scheduling
  • Do not wash off skin markings unless told to — they ensure accurate radiation targeting
  • Report side effects weekly to the radiation team — most can be managed with medication
  • Moisturise treated skin with recommended cream only — avoid perfumed products on the treatment area

After the Visit

  • Side effects may continue for 1-2 weeks after treatment ends before improving
  • Attend all follow-up appointments — monitoring for treatment response and late effects is important
  • Maintain good nutrition and hydration during recovery
  • Report any new symptoms to your radiation oncologist — late radiation effects can occur months to years later

Questions to Ask Your Radiation Oncologist

  1. 1.Is radiation curative or palliative in my case?
  2. 2.How many sessions will I need and how long is each session?
  3. 3.What side effects should I expect and how are they managed?
  4. 4.Will radiation affect my fertility?
  5. 5.What is the difference between IMRT, IGRT, and stereotactic radiation?
  6. 6.Can I continue working during radiation treatment?

When Should You See a Radiation Oncologist?

A Radiation Oncologist uses targeted radiation to destroy cancer cells, either as primary treatment or alongside surgery and chemotherapy.

  • Cancer diagnosis requiring radiation therapy
  • Post-surgery radiation to prevent recurrence
  • Palliative radiation for pain relief in advanced cancer
  • Brain tumour or metastases needing radiation

Modern radiation techniques (IMRT, IGRT, CyberKnife) are precise and cause fewer side effects than older methods.
