ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT
DEPARTMENT OF RADIATION ONCOLOGY
ROLE OF RADIOTHERAPY IN CANCER TREATMENT :
Radiation therapy is estimated to be required in 45% to 55% of newly diagnosed cases. Of those cured, 40% are by radiation therapy alone or by combination with other modalities. Radiation therapy needed in 2/3rd of cancer patients as part of radical or definitive radiotherapy, post-op adjuvant radiotherapy, consolidation radiotherapy, palliative radiotherapy. As per statistics only 1/3rd of this estimated patients are getting radiotherapy (major short fall).there has been a significant waiting time for treatment in many centers due to increasing cancer incidence and acute shortage of RT infrastructure to meet the demand.
