Management of all types of malignant and benign tumours, delivered with conformal, image-guided precision that protects the healthy tissue around the target.
Radiation has a role in the majority of cancers — sometimes as the main treatment, sometimes alongside surgery or chemotherapy. Whether and how it helps is decided case by case, from your reports and your chart of the disease.
Whole-breast, partial-breast and chest-wall radiation following surgery, planned to deliver dose to the breast or chest wall while sparing the heart and lungs. Modern techniques and careful positioning make this protection far more precise than it once was.
One of radiation oncology's most exacting regions, where critical structures sit millimetres from the target. Highly conformal IMRT shapes the dose tightly around the tumour to protect swallowing, salivary and other vital functions wherever possible.
Gynaecologic cancers are among those radiation treats most effectively — typically combining external beam radiotherapy with high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy, which places the radiation source close to the target from within.
Both primary brain tumours and secondaries are treated with fractionated radiotherapy or, for small well-defined targets, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) — a focused, high-precision approach delivered in one or a few sessions.
Image-guided, dose-escalated radiation to the prostate, with rigorous sparing of the bladder and rectum. Daily image guidance accounts for the small day-to-day shifts in anatomy so the dose lands where it should.
Dr. Bhatnagar's experience encompasses the management of all types of malignant and benign tumours referred for radiation — lung, gastrointestinal, soft-tissue, and palliative treatment to relieve symptoms. Each is assessed individually, and radiation is recommended only where it genuinely helps.
