Radiotherapy, also known as radiation therapy, is a highly effective treatment method used to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. At Bhatia Hospital, recognized as the best oncology hospital in Mumbai, we offer cutting-edge radiotherapy services designed to deliver precise and targeted treatment while minimizing side effects. Our experienced oncologists and state-of-the-art technology ensure the best possible care for patients on their cancer journey.
Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation, such as X-rays, gamma rays, or proton beams, to target and destroy cancer cells. It can be used as a standalone treatment or in combination with chemotherapy or surgery, depending on the type and stage of cancer. Radiotherapy is often aimed at:
- Treating localized tumors.
- Reducing the size of tumors before surgery.
- Managing symptoms in advanced cancer cases.
Symptoms and Conditions Treated with Radiotherapy
Radiotherapy is effective for various types of cancer and related symptoms, including:
- Localized Tumors: Treating cancers confined to a specific area, such as the breast, prostate, or head and neck.
- Pain Relief: Alleviating pain caused by tumors pressing on nerves or bones.
- Swelling and Inflammation: Reducing tumor size to relieve pressure on nearby tissues or organs.
- Bleeding: Managing bleeding caused by certain cancers, such as cervical or gastrointestinal tumors.
- Post-Surgical Cancer Cells: Destroying residual cancer cells after surgery to prevent recurrence.
