Advanced Radiation Therapies at Dr. Goswami

Dr. Goswami offers several specialized radiation treatments, including:

• Intracavitary Brachytherapy: In this therapy, radiation is installed into body cavities close to the tumor so that as much as possible of the high doses emitted affects the cancer.
• Cyberknife Treatment: It is non-invasive and has a robotic way of treating tumors especially those located in certain areas of the body.
• Intracavitary Brachytherapy: This therapy involves placing radiation inside body cavities near the tumor, delivering high doses directly to the cancer.
• Cyberknife Treatment: A non-invasive option that uses robotic precision to treat tumors, particularly those that are hard to reach.
• Cryotherapy: A treatment that uses extreme cold to destroy cancer cells, offering a less invasive alternative for certain cancers.
• Stereotactic Radiosurgery: A high-precision radiation treatment, often used for small, localized tumors like those in the brain.
• 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT): This technique shapes radiation beams to match the shape of the tumor, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue while effectively targeting the cancer.
• Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): IMRT allows for precise adjustment of radiation doses, delivering higher doses to the tumor while protecting nearby healthy tissues. It’s particularly useful for tumors close to sensitive organs.
• Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): This therapy uses imaging during radiation treatment to guide the radiation beams, ensuring accurate delivery even when the tumor moves, such as in lung or abdominal cancers.
• Proton Beam Therapy: This advanced therapy uses protons instead of X-rays to treat cancer. Protons can be controlled more precisely, making this treatment ideal for tumors located near critical structures, like the brain or spinal cord.
