Radiation Oncology

Radiation oncology is a medical speciality that involves the controlled use of radiation to treat cancer. Seven out of ten patients show indications for radiation therapy before or after surgery or chemotherapy or as a palliation. Radiation therapy is often used in conjunction with chemotherapy or surgery.
Radiation therapy kills or damages cancer cells by using high doses of radiation to damage the DNA (genetic material) of these cells. Radiation therapy either damages DNA directly or creates charged particles within the cells that can in turn damage the DNA. When the DNA of these cells is damaged beyond repair, they stop dividing or die and are eliminated by the 's natural processes. Doctors that treat cancer with radiation are called radiation oncologists.
The decision to choose radiation therapy depends on several factors including type, size, and location of cancer, your general health, and age. It is used to meet any of the following goals:
Cure cancer - whenradiation destroys cancer cells to the point that cancer can no longer be detected in your
Control cancer - when radiation keeps cancer from spreading or slows its
Ease symptoms - when radiation shrinks tumours that are causing pain or pressure or bleeding

Screening

Today cancer is the third biggest killer in India and if trends in advanced markets play out here, it will be the number one killer soon. Therefore, there has been a lot of discussion in media on the country's cancer burden and labelling India as 'Cancer Country'. More importantly, cancer in India is detected late and that puts an enormous burden on the common people because of the prohibitive cost of treatment and low chances of survival.

Early detection of cancer offers the best avenues for cure. This is possible by screening tests that detect cancers before the symptoms show up. Usually, by the time symptoms start showing up, cancer would have started to spread in the body. Screening helps in detecting cancerous cells very early thereby improving treatment outcome in a big way. However, unfortunately, not all s of cancer have screening tests yet.

Cancer Clinics believes the best way to fight cancer is by catching it early when the five-year survival rates are high and the cost of treatment is low. Our BEAT (Best outcomes through Early and Accelerated Treatment) Program is focused on ensuring just that. Through a combination of prevention, screening and surveillance strategies, the BEAT Program is pushing to move the needle on the median detection stage of cancer from the advanced stages in India to stage 1, like in the advanced countries.
