                        Medanta Cancer Institute (Division of Radiation Oncology) is a comprehensive Institute
                        with a mission to provide ‘Holistic Care' to patients. A team of highly qualified
                        and dedicated doctors is supported by a cutting edge technology to add years with
                        a good Quality of Life (QOL). At Medanta Cancer Institute (Division of Radiation
                        Oncology) we have the following technology:
                        

The VMAT (volumetric arc therapy) or Infinity Linear accelerator which is a first
                            installation across India. It reduces the radiation delivery time to 2 minutes even
                            for the most complex Intensity Modulated Radio Therapy (IMRT). The frameless Stereotactic
                            Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) from Elekta is being established for the first time in
                            the country and is capable of treating Lung and Liver tumors in less than 20 minutes.
                        
An Integrated Brachytherapy Unit (IBU) for intra operative and post operative treatments
                            along with prostate seed implants to extend the ultimate conformal radiation for
                            early tumors or as a boost along with external beam treatment. 
At Medanta – The Medicity we provide innovative techniques such as Image Guided
                            Radiotherapy (IGRT) with X-Ray Volume Imaging(XVI)giving a virtual CT scan on the
                            Linear accelerator in real time. The availability of molecular imaging in the form
                            of PET-CT for fusion with MRI(3.0 Tesla) ,CT Scan(256 slice) and CT –Simulation
                            (32 slice) will reduce the chances of a geographic miss as well as optimize the
                            tumor coverage. 

                        
                        A protocol based approach for management of Brain tumors, Head and Neck cancers,
                        Breast cancer, Gynecological cancers, Urological malignancies, Soft tissue sarcomas,
                        Lymphomas, Pediatric tumors, Gastro intestinal and Lung cancer is being established
                        to ensure an international standard of care. The philosophy of ‘Holistic Care’ and
                        protocol based management will ensure a transparent evaluation of treatment outcomes
                        and will transpire into an academic milieu to build bridges across internationally
                        renowned Health Care Institutions.
