Advanced Radiation Therapy for Cancer in Noida, Faridabad & Delhi

Precision Oncology: Targeting Cancer, Preserving Life

Radiation Therapy (Radiotherapy) is a highly effective, non-invasive cancer treatment that uses controlled, high-energy beams to destroy the DNA of malignant cells. At Metro Hospitals, we combine clinical excellence with the world’s most advanced linear accelerators to provide pinpoint accuracy in cancer care.

Whether used as a primary treatment or alongside surgery and chemotherapy, our radiation protocols are designed to eliminate tumors while ensuring the maximum safety of surrounding healthy tissues.

State-of-the-Art Types of Radiation Therapy at Metro

We offer a comprehensive range of radiotherapy techniques, ensuring that every patient receives a customized treatment plan based on their specific cancer type and stage.

1. External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)

The gold standard in radiation, delivered via a Linear Accelerator (LINAC).

• IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy): Adjusts the intensity of radiation beams to match the exact 3D shape of the tumor.
• SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy): Delivers a very high dose of radiation to small, well-defined tumors in just 1–5 sessions.
• IGRT (Image-Guided Radiation Therapy): Uses real-time CT/X-ray imaging to account for natural body movements (like breathing) during treatment.

2. Internal Radiation (Brachytherapy)

High-dose radiation sources are placed temporarily inside or near the tumor. This is exceptionally effective for Cervical, Uterine, and Prostate cancers, offering localized treatment with minimal side effects.

3. Next-Gen Particle Therapies

• Proton Therapy: Uses protons to target tumors with such precision that the radiation stops exactly at the tumor site, sparing the organs behind it.
• Carbon Ion Therapy: A specialized form of heavy-ion therapy used for tumors that are resistant to conventional X-ray radiation.

Cancers We Treat with Precision Radiotherapy

Our multidisciplinary oncology team in Noida, Delhi, and Faridabad specializes in:

• Breast Cancer: Post-surgery radiation to prevent recurrence.
• Prostate Cancer: High-precision beams to treat early-stage cancer while sparing the bladder and rectum.
• Lung Cancer: Utilizing SBRT and Respiratory Gating for moving tumors.
• Head & Neck Cancers: Targeting tumors in the mouth, throat, and salivary glands while preserving swallowing and speech functions.
• Brain Tumors: Treating primary tumors and metastatic lesions with stereotactic precision.

Integrated Multi-Modality Care

At Metro Hospitals, we don’t just treat the tumor; we treat the patient. Radiation is often strategically combined with:

• Chemo-Radiation: Chemotherapy “sensitizes” cancer cells, making the radiation beams more lethal to the tumor.
• Neoadjuvant Therapy: Shrinking a tumor with radiation before surgery to make removal safer.
• Radio-Immunotherapy: Using radiation to trigger the body’s immune system to recognize and attack cancer cells.

The Treatment Journey: What to Expect

Phase 1: Simulation & Mapping

Before treatment, you will undergo a Simulation CT/MRI scan. Our medical physicists use these images to create a 3D digital “map” of your tumor. If needed, a custom-molded mask or cast is made to ensure you stay perfectly still during sessions.

Phase 2: Precision Delivery

During the session, you will lie comfortably on a treatment table. The machine (LINAC) rotates around you. The actual delivery of radiation is painless and takes only a few minutes.

Phase 3: Side-Effect Management

Common temporary effects like fatigue or skin redness are monitored weekly by your Radiation Oncologist. Most patients continue their daily routines during treatment.

FAQ: Understanding Radiation Therapy

1. Is radiation therapy better than chemotherapy?

Neither is “better”; they serve different purposes. Radiation is local (treats a specific spot), while chemotherapy is systemic (treats the whole body). Our experts often use them together for the best results.

2. Will I be radioactive after treatment?

For External Beam Radiation, no. You can safely hug your family and be around children immediately after your session. Only certain types of permanent internal implants require temporary precautions.

3. How much does Radiation Therapy cost in Delhi/Noida?

The cost varies based on the technology (IMRT vs. SBRT) and the number of sessions required. Metro Hospitals provides transparent pricing and works with major insurance providers and TPAs.

4. Does radiation cause permanent hair loss?

Hair loss is limited to the specific area being treated. For example, radiation to the chest will not cause hair on your head to fall out.

5. Why choose Metro Hospital for Radiotherapy in Delhi NCR?

With a 29-year legacy, we offer a combination of world-class technology, senior radiation oncologists, and a compassionate support team across our Noida, Faridabad, and Delhi facilities.
