Radiation therapy is a type of cancer treatment that uses strong energy beams to kill or shrink cancer cells. It’s a common and effective method used by doctors around the world. At DMIO Hospital, we offer advanced radiation therapy, designed to treat tumors with accuracy while protecting healthy tissues.
Radiation damages the DNA inside cancer cells, stopping them from growing or making more cells. Over time, these damaged cells die and the body naturally removes them. Radiation can be given from outside the body (external beam) or placed inside the body (internal radiation).
We offer a range of advanced Radiation Therapy methods to suit different cancer types and patient conditions, including:
Our experienced oncology team creates individualized chemotherapy plans based on your cancer type, stage, and overall health. Treatments are administered in our state-of-the-art infusion centres, equipped with comfortable infusion chairs for your safety and ease. We closely monitor your response to therapy, adjusting plans as needed to optimize results. Treatments are typically scheduled every 2 to 3 weeks, depending on your regimen.
Radiation therapy is usually safe, but like all treatments, it may cause side effects. These depend on the part of the body treated and the dose given.
Common side effects may include:
Tiredness or fatigue
Skin changes or irritation
Hair loss (only in treated area)
Nausea or digestive issues
Difficulty swallowing (for chest or neck radiation)
Most side effects are temporary and go away after treatment. Our medical team will guide you throughout the process to manage and reduce any discomfort.
While chemotherapy is highly effective, some patients may experience long-term effects like fatigue, cognitive changes, nerve damage, or organ damage. Our oncology team provides ongoing monitoring and support to address these effects, helping you maintain physical and emotional well-being after treatment.
