Department of Radiation Oncology
Revolutionary radiation therapy with cutting-edge Linac True Beam-II technology and comprehensive cancer care
About the Department
The Department of Radiation Oncology at NCHRC is a multidisciplinary team comprised of Radiation Oncologists, Medical Physicists, Dosimetrists, Radiation Technologists, and Radiation Nurses. We work collaboratively to provide personalized and high-quality radiation therapy using cutting-edge technology.
Radiotherapy is a highly advanced form of cancer treatment that uses precisely targeted radiation to damage cancer cell DNA. Our team harnesses rays of intense energy to destroy cancer cells or prevent them from multiplying, all while minimizing damage to nearby normal tissue.
We offer both External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) and Brachytherapy, ensuring comprehensive treatment options for various cancer types. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with the most advanced Linac True Beam-II with Rapid Arc technology, revolutionizing radiotherapy treatment in Nepal.
World-Class Technology
Linac True Beam-II
Revolutionary Rapid Arc Technology
Advanced Treatment Modalities
Cutting-edge radiation therapy technology for precise and effective cancer treatment
External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
Most common type of radiation therapy using a large machine called a linear accelerator (linac) that directs high-energy radiation beams at the cancer from outside the body.
Advanced Techniques:
-
3D-CRT: 3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy uses CT scans to create precise 3D tumor images
-
IMRT: Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy for more precise dose distribution
-
IGRT: Image Guided Radiation Therapy with real-time imaging during treatment
-
SBRT: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for highly precise treatment
Brachytherapy
Internal radiation therapy where radioactive sources are placed inside or next to the tumor area, allowing for high doses of radiation to be delivered directly to the cancer with minimal exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
Treatment Types:
-
Intracavitary: Radioactive sources placed in body cavities close to tumor
-
Interstitial: Sources placed directly into tumor tissue
-
Intraluminal: Treatment for cancers in body passages like esophagus
