Quick Answer: The evolution of radiation oncology has revolutionized cancer care across India by introducing ultra-precise treatments such as Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) and Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT), improving cure rates while reducing side effects. Under the expertise of Dr. Mathangi, patients nationwide can now access these world-class techniques at Gleneagles Cancer Institute in Bangalore.
According to the World Health Organization, radiation therapy is essential for more than 50% of cancer patients during their treatment journey. The evolution of radiation oncology has made these treatments safer, faster, and more effective — empowering patients across India to receive top-tier care without leaving the country.
With over 20 years of experience and 12,000+ patients treated, Dr. Mathangi J, Senior Consultant & In-charge of Radiation Oncology at Gleneagles Cancer Institute, has helped shape India’s cancer treatment landscape. Trained in Germany and Denmark, she is recognized for bringing Asia Pacific’s first TrueBeam STx Machine to her center and for mastering techniques like Gated RapidArc, DIBH gated radiotherapy, and advanced interstitial brachytherapy.
From traditional broad-beam approaches to cutting-edge new radiation tech, cancer treatment in India now rivals the best in the world. Today’s technologies deliver targeted therapy that spares healthy tissue and allows for higher, more effective doses with minimal downtime.
Dr. Mathangi’s expertise covers a wide range of cancers that require radiation therapy, including:
Leading cancer therapy trends include integration of radiation with immunotherapy, AI-driven adaptive treatment planning, and ultra-hypofractionated schedules. These innovations are improving survival rates while reducing the number of hospital visits for patients across the country.

The rapid advances in radiation oncology mean that cancer treatment in India now meets — and often exceeds — international standards. With Dr. Mathangi’s skill and technology leadership, patients can be confident they’re receiving the very best care available.
In brief: far greater precision, speed, and safety. Imaging-led planning, motion management (like breath-hold and gating), and stereotactic techniques let doctors treat the tumor while sparing healthy tissue. For you, that means fewer side effects, shorter schedules, and better control rates—especially when guided by an expert like Dr. Mathangi.
It’s the shift from broad, one-size-fits-all beams to individualized, image-guided treatment. Plans are tailored to your anatomy, daily positioning, and even breathing patterns, enabling curative doses with fewer visits and fewer complications—something Dr. Mathangi executes with advanced planning systems and strict quality checks.
Typically: head & neck cancers, brain tumors, spine tumors, esophagus and rectal cancers, lung cancers, liver cancers, breast cancers, bladder cancers, prostate cancers, uterine cancers, cervical cancer, vulval cancers, anal canal cancers, and penile cancers. Suitability depends on stage, performance status, and prior treatments—assessed during consultation.
It varies. Conventional courses may run 3–6 weeks. Hypofractionated schedules condense treatment into 1–3 weeks. SBRT/SRS can be 1–5 sittings. Dr. Mathangi selects the shortest safe schedule backed by evidence for your cancer type and location.
Yes. Modern planning limits dose to healthy organs, reducing skin reactions, swallowing troubles, bowel issues, and fatigue. Where side effects do occur, supportive care pathways help patients complete therapy comfortably.
Yes, for selected cancers. Chemoradiation can improve cure rates in head & neck, cervix, rectum, and others. Immunoradiotherapy is emerging for certain lung and brain situations. The decision is individualized after tumor board review and discussion of risks/benefits.
Many patients travel from across India. Short-course schedules (like hypofractionation or SBRT) can reduce stay length. Dr. Mathangi’s team coordinates planning timelines and offers guidance to minimize disruption to your routine.
