Along with medical and surgical oncology, radiation oncology is another potent weapon for oncologists at Fortis Cancer Institute in the elimination of cancer cells. This advanced method is used by radiation oncologists to destroy the malignant tumours and preserve healthy tissues.

The contemporary technology uses three dimensional (3D) imaging of the cancerous area to allow the experts to precisely locate the tumour. A high beam of radiation is directed at the malignant portion of the organ to instantly kill the cancerous growth.

Another method called brachytherapy uses the process of placing radioactive materials within and around the tumours to eliminate the diseased cells.


Fortis Hospital on Bannerghatta Road in Bangalore boasts cutting-edge medical technology, including the state-of-the-art Versa HD radiation therapy machine. This versatile apparatus can accommodate a wide range of treatment modalities, from basic 3-dimensional radiation therapy to advanced techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and volumetric arc therapy (VMAT). It also excels in providing precision treatments like stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiotherapy.

One notable feature of this machine is its capability to employ the ABC technique for treating left-sided breast cancers. This technique significantly reduces radiation exposure to the heart compared to other methods.

Bone Marrow Transplantation is a time-tested and trusted solution to cancer treatment when all other methods do not provide the expected results. Our blood cells are produced by the soft tissues present within our bones. This is called bone marrow. During cancer treatment involving high doses of chemotherapy or radiation, sometimes the bone marrow is affected and these need to be replaced as soon as possible, for healthy blood cells to be produced. This is known as Bone Marrow Transplantation and requires healthy matching donors, either from the patient’s family or from others, to extract the bone marrow from.

At Fortis Hospitals Bannerghatta, Bone Marrow Transplantation is administered under great care and precision by our team of highly skilled onco specialists.
