A brain tumor is a collection, or mass, of abnormal cells in your brain. Brain tumors can be treated via Radiation therapy or Radiosurgery.

Radiation therapy uses proton energy beams to kill tumor cells. Usually an external beam radiation is used for this procedure which focuses just on the area of your brain where the tumor is located.

Stereotactic radiosurgery uses multiple beams of radiation to give a highly focused form of radiation treatment to kill the tumor cells in a very small area. 

Head and Neck Cancer is a common form of cancer in India. Every year more than one lakh case has been diagnosed in India. Types of Head & Neck cancers are listed below.

1. Oral Cavity, 2. Throat (pharynx),   3. Voice box (larynx),  

4. Nasal Cavity, 5. Salivary glands, 6. Paranasal Sinuses.

Radiation Therapy is the primary treatment used to shrink a cancerous tumor. Either External Beam therapy (EBT) or Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) procedure is used to treat these cancers.

Radiation therapy uses high-powered energy beams from sources such as X-rays and protons to kill cancer cells.  Radiation therapy may be used in combination with surgery and chemotherapy. Radiation therapy may help relieve symptoms, such as pain in patients with advanced stage of lung cancer.

Stereotactic radiosurgery may be an option for people with small lung cancers who can't undergo surgery or to treat cancers which have spread to other parts of the body.

Radiation therapy may be advised after surgery to remove the breast tumor (lumpectomy or mastectomy). Radiation can kill any cancer cells that might remain and reduce the risk of recurrence in the remaining tissues of the chest wall or lymph nodes. Radiation can be done for entire breast using External Beam Radiation Therapy or to the part of the breast using partial breast irradiation technique.

Dr. Mathangi will determine which treatment is best for you based on your situation, your cancer type and the location of your tumor.

Radiation therapy is used in combination with surgery and chemotherapy to treat gastrointestinal cancer. 

It can be used after surgery to kill any cancer cells that might remain. It can also be used before the surgery to shrink a large cancer so that it becomes easier to remove during surgery. For patients with advanced stage of cancer, radiation therapy might help to ease the pain and relieve some symptoms. Depending on your issue, Dr. Mathangi will recommend appropriate radio-therapy.

Hepatobiliary cancers are 1. Liver Cancer 2. Gallbladder Cancer 3. Bile Duct Cancer.

Pancreatic cancer types can be divided into broad type : 

1. Exocrine pancreatic cancer, 2. Endocrine pancreatic cancer.

External beam radiation or Image Guide Radiation Therapy (IGRT) may be given to treat the above cancers in combination with chemotherapy.

Types of Genito-Urinary Cancer : 1. Kidney Cancer, 2. Bladder Cancer, 3. Prostate Cancer, Penile Cancer.
