About this Procedure
Radiotherapy uses radiation to kill cancer cells. Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) is an advanced form of external-beam radiotherapy in which a linear accelerator delivers precise radiation to a tumour while reducing the dose to surrounding normal tissue. Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) adds imaging before or during each session so the team can check the tumour's position and adjust the treatment accurately.
IMRT is often used where tumours sit close to sensitive structures, for example in head and neck cancers and prostate cancer. IGRT is particularly helpful for tumours that move, such as in the lungs, liver and pancreas, and for tumours near critical organs. The two are frequently combined. Radiotherapy may be the main treatment or be used with surgery, chemotherapy or immunotherapy.
Treatment starts with a planning (simulation) scan so the team can map the exact target. Each session is painless and you lie still on the treatment table; most patients spend no more than 10 to 15 minutes on the table daily, including set-up and imaging. A typical IMRT course is given five days a week for five to eight weeks, and you can usually go home soon after each session. Common short-term side effects include tiredness and skin changes in the treated area.
IMRT and IGRT are offered at Medwell's partner hospitals in Delhi NCR, including BLK-Max Super Speciality Hospital, New Delhi, Artemis Hospital, Gurugram, Fortis Memorial Research Institute, Gurugram and Paras Health, Gurugram.
