Radiation
Oncology
Our Department of Radiation Oncology is equipped with Asia’s
First Varian RapicArc Linear Accelerator, equipped with most
sophisticated treatment 3D planning simulators.
It’s a next generation system, which is superior to
all other radiation delivery system in terms of Accuracy,
Speed & Quality
RapidaArc system improves the conformity of the radiation
dose & at the same time shortens the treatment times.
It will also achieve the physician’s treatment objective
better than today’s best IMRT techniques.
Yashoda radiation oncologists work in collaboration with physicians
in other specialties (surgery, medical oncology, internal
medicine, pathology, diagnostic radiology) in the evaluation
and care of each patient with cancer. Our treatment approach
has traditionally been comprehensive and interdisciplinary.
This teamwork is especially important in the successful management
of cancer.
