Radiation oncology is a specialization involving the controlled use of radiation to treat cancer either for cure, or to reduce pain and other symptoms caused by cancer. Radiation therapy or radiotherapy, is the term used to describe the actual treatment delivered by the radiation oncology team.

In many cases, surgery is combined with other cancer treatments such as Chemotherapy, Radiation Therapy or Hormone Therapy. These may be given before or after surgery to help prevent cancer growth, spread or recurrence. We also perform organ preservation surgeries where cancer cells are removed from the host without removing the organ. A team of Nutritionists, Rehabilitation Therapists and other clinici[..]

Breast cancer can begin in different parts of the breast. A breast comprises of three main parts: lobules, ducts, and connective tissue. The lobules are the glands that produce milk. The tubes carrying milk to the nipple are called ducts. The connective tissue consisting of fibrous and fatty tissue surrounds and holds everything together. Most breast cancers begin at ducts or lobules.
Breast cancer can spread outside the breast through blood and lymph vessels. When cancer spreads to other parts of the body, it is said to have metastasized. Early diagnosis & right course of treatment can not only cure but also save the natural breast.
