In this technique, high energy x-rays or gamma rays are shot at the target area to completely destroy cancer cells. It achieves the goal of killing tumour cells precisely and is often used\u00a0 in<br \/>\ncombination with cancer surgery to show best results.<\/p>\n<p>Radiotherapy is a specialized treatment not available in every hospital.

In\u00a0this procedure, the radiation is administered using a machine from outside the body. A tele-therapy\u00a0machine shoots focused radiation beams at the affected area of the body.<\/p>\n<p><b>Internal Radiation Therapy: <\/b>In this technique, radio-active isotopes or particles that kill tumour cells are positioned inside the body around the affected area.<br \/>\nThis technique is also termed as brachytherapy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The following are the different radiotherapies available at Yashoda Superspeciality Hospital &amp; Cancer Institute, Sanjay Nagar, Ghaziabad:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>IGRT: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Guided Radiotherapy\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>IMRT<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>SBRT: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>SRS: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stereotactic Radio surgery <\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>SRT: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yashodahealthcare.com\/blogs\/stereotactic-radiotherapy-for-treating-tumours-cancers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stereotactic Radiotherapy\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li><b>3D CRT: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CRT:\u00a0Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy<br \/>\n<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yashodahealthcare.com\/yashoda-cancer-institute\">Yashoda Superspeciality Hospital &amp; Cancer Institute, Sanjay Nagar, Ghaziabad<\/a> aim at\u00a0providing a better quality of life to our cancer patients using our highly-advanced state-of-the art Halcyon 2.0 machine.

An oncologist is the doctor who deals with your cancer. Your oncologist at Yashoda Superspeciality Hospital &amp; Cancer Institute, Sanjay Nagar, Ghaziabad may recommend radiation therapy in the following cases:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b> <\/b><b>After Lumpectomy: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have undergone lumpectomy and<br \/>\naxillary nodal clearance (a surgery to remove the tumour around breasts), you may be recommended to undergo radiation therapy treatment to completely destroy the remaining microscopic tumour\u00a0cells in the surrounding areas of the breasts.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b> <\/b><b>After Mastectomy: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0In this kind of surgery, the affected part of the breast is removed. Since some cells still stay in the affected area even after the surgical removal, radiotherapy treatment is recommended to completely destroy the remaining tumour cells.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>There may be many reasons for which radiotherapy is recommended after mastectomy such as:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When the tumour is larger than 5 centimetres<\/li>\n<li>When the tumour has affected the skin<\/li>\n<li>When one or more lymph nodes are affected by the tumour cells<\/li>\n<li>When the lymph channels &amp; blood vessels in the breast are affected by the tumour cells<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What to expect after breast cancer radiotherapy?<\/h2>\n<p>We at Yashoda Super Speciality Hospital &amp; Cancer Institute, Sanjay Nagar, Ghaziabad, are readily available at our patients\u2019 service.
