The Radiation oncology Services at BIIRT and Behgal Hospital

Radiation oncology is a specialized field of medicine that utilizes high-energy radiation to treat cancer. It involves the precise delivery of radiation therapy to target and destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. Radiation therapy can be used as a standalone treatment or in combination with other therapies such as surgery and chemotherapy, depending on the type and stage of cancer.

Cancer can develop due to a variety of factors, including genetic mutations, environmental exposures, lifestyle choices, and viral infections. Symptoms of cancer can vary widely depending on the type and location of the cancer, but may include unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, changes in bowel or bladder habits, unusual bleeding or discharge, lumps or masses, and persistent cough or hoarseness

Radiation therapy works by damaging the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from multiplying and spreading. It can be delivered externally using a machine called a linear accelerator or internally through the placement of radioactive implants directly into or near the tumor site. Radiation oncologists carefully plan each treatment to ensure that the maximum dose of radiation is delivered to the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissues as much as possible.
