Artemis Hospital, a top healthcare provider in Delhi NCR, has introduced a new Brachytherapy program. This program offers a highly effective and minimally invasive treatment for various types of cancer.
Brachytherapy involves placing small radioactive implants directly inside or near the tumor. This method delivers a focused dose of radiation right to the cancer cells, while sparing healthy tissue. Compared to traditional radiation therapy, Brachytherapy offers several benefits:
- Increased Precision: The treatment targets the tumor with a concentrated dose of radiation, reducing harm to healthy tissue.
- Reduced Treatment Time: Brachytherapy often requires fewer sessions than traditional radiation therapy, helping patients recover faster.
- Improved Symptom Management: This method can be particularly good at easing cancer-related symptoms, such as pain or bleeding.
Dr. Subodh Chandra Pande, Chief of Radiation Oncology and Co-Chief of the Cyberknife Centre at Artemis Hospital, said, “The launch of our Brachytherapy program represents a significant advancement in our ability to provide comprehensive and personalized cancer care. This cutting-edge technology will allow us to offer patients a wider range of treatment options, potentially with improved outcomes and a better quality of life.”
The Brachytherapy program at Artemis Hospital is run by a team of skilled radiation oncologists, medical physicists, and nurses. They use advanced technology to ensure the implants are placed accurately and the treatment is delivered effectively.
Dr. S Jayalakshmi, Head of Oncology at Artemis Hospital, added, “We are committed to providing our patients with access to the latest and most effective cancer treatments. The addition of Brachytherapy to our services further strengthens our position as a leader in cancer care in the region.”
With the introduction of Brachytherapy, Artemis Hospital gives patients a powerful new tool in their fight against cancer. This targeted and minimally invasive treatment can improve outcomes, shorten treatment times, and enhance the quality of life for patients. This makes it a valuable addition to the hospital’s comprehensive cancer care services.
