Gastrointestinal cancers are among the most prevalent types of cancers globally, with millions of new cases diagnosed each year. In India, the burden of GI cancers is significantly high, accounting for a large percentage of cancer-related mortality. Effective treatment options, particularly radiation therapy, have advanced significantly over the years, ensuring better outcomes for patients. If you are seeking gastrointestinal cancer radiation Bangalore, Dr. Mathangi offers expert, state-of-the-art treatment options tailored to each patient's needs.
Gastrointestinal cancers include malignancies of the stomach, colon, rectum, esophagus, pancreas, and liver. Treatment strategies often involve a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. With advancements in radiation oncology, targeted radiation therapies play a crucial role in improving survival rates while minimizing side effects.
Dr. Mathangi specializes in delivering cutting-edge radiation therapies, ensuring precision and efficacy. Here are the various types of gastrointestinal cancers treated with radiation therapy:
Stomach cancer treatment in Bangalore involves multiple modalities, including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Radiation therapy helps in reducing tumor size before surgery or eliminating residual cancer cells post-surgery. Dr. Mathangi employs advanced technologies like Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) for precise targeting.
For patients requiring colon cancer radiation, advanced techniques such as Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) are utilized. These methods allow for high-dose radiation delivery while sparing healthy tissues. Comprehensive colon cancer therapy under Dr. Mathangi's expertise ensures improved patient outcomes with minimal side effects.
Rectal cancer treatment often involves neoadjuvant (pre-surgical) radiation to shrink tumors before surgery, improving operability and long-term survival rates. Patients undergoing rectal cancer radiation benefit from techniques such as Gated RapidArc and DIBH-gated Radiotherapy, ensuring maximum effectiveness with minimal toxicity.
Radiation therapy plays a vital role in the treatment of esophageal cancer, particularly for patients who are inoperable. With advancements in esophageal cancer radiation, techniques such as Proton Beam Therapy and Stereotactic Ablative Radiotherapy (SABR) allow for effective tumor control while preserving healthy esophageal tissues.
One of the most effective techniques in radiation oncology is external beam therapy for GI cancer. This non-invasive technique delivers high-energy X-rays precisely to the tumor site. Under Dr. Mathangi's expertise, external beam therapy is customized for each patient to maximize tumor destruction while protecting surrounding organs.
Pancreatic cancer radiation is a crucial component of multimodal treatment, especially for inoperable cases. Patients undergoing pancreatic cancer therapy benefit from techniques such as CyberKnife radiosurgery, ensuring effective tumor control with minimal side effects.
With evolving technologies, liver cancer care has seen significant advancements in radiation therapy. Techniques such as Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) and Intraoperative Radiotherapy (IORT) offer promising results for patients who are ineligible for surgery.
