Linear Accelerator

Radiation therapy is an important speciality in cancer care. Most than 70% of patients need radiation therapy either as radical (curative) intent or as palliative intent during their course of treatment. Bengal Cancer Foundation have one of the most advanced helical radiation therapy facility (Siddharth II). This Linear accelerator have 6/15 MV energy, CT scan (KV) image guided radiation therapy (IGRT), helical radiation therapy delivery features, IMRT & VMAT facility, 6D couch rotation / correction option facility. The planning system is the most modern ‘Ray station’ planning system.

Radiation therapy equipped to treat with 1) palliative radiation therapy, 2) Radical Radiation therapy 3) Electron beam therapy. Modern immobilization system and mould room facility will provide precision radiation therapy delivery.

Radiation therapy facilities:

1. Palliative Radiation therapy (3DCRT)
2. Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
3. Image guided Radiation therapy (IGRT)
4. Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)
5. Helical radiation therapy (Tomotherapy)
6. Electron beam therapy
7. Total body radiation therapy (TBI)

Brachytherapy

There is a provision for three channel brachytherapy for intracavitary brachytherapy is there.

Cervical cancer: Intra-cavitary brachytherapy

Endometrial Cancer: Intra-luminal brachytherapy (SORBO)

Oesophageal cancer: Intra-luminal brachytherapy
