Establishment: The Department of Radiation Oncology has been providing quality assured Clinical and Radiation Oncology services since 1995.
Brief Description: The Radiation Oncology Team at NICRH has a unique mix of doctors, medical physicists and technicians. The department focuses on patient centric care using radiotherapy facilities available to enhance the patients journey through the stressful time of cancer care. Radiotherapy refers to the precise delivery of a high energy of radiation targeted to cancer. It is one of the most common and one of the most effective treatment modalities used for curative treatment of cancers. Whilst cure may not be possible in all cases, symptom control (palliation) is commonly achieved with the appropriate use of radiation therapy. As a department that practices clinical oncology, the staff are highly skilled not only in the use of radiation, but departmental consultants also use systemic therapy including chemotherapy, targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Our clinicians are trained and accredited for such practices from reputed institutes and universities, allowing continuity of care for the patients within the department. The focus of each and every staff in the department is to improve patient care with compassion.
