Radiation Oncology

Who Needs Radiation Therapy?

Radiation therapy is recommended for patients with:

• Solid tumors such as breast, prostate, lung, brain, and head & neck cancers.
• Blood cancers like lymphoma requiring localized radiation treatment.
• Pre-surgical (neoadjuvant) therapy to shrink tumors before surgery.
• Post-surgical (adjuvant) therapy to destroy residual cancer cells.
• Palliative care for pain relief and symptom control in advanced cancer cases.

Our specialists carefully assess each case to determine the most effective treatment plan.
