FAQ’s

What does a radiation oncologist do?

Radiation oncologists use radiation therapy to diagnose, treat, and manage cancer from the patient’s first visit to their follow-up appointments. They also collaborate with other specialities to implement better planning and deliver the best results.

When is radiation therapy recommended?

Radiation therapy is recommended in most cases, including in curing cancer, shrinking the tumour pre-surgery, eliminating any remaining cancer cells post-surgery, providing palliative care, and even treating some benign tumours.

What should I expect during my first visit with a radiation oncologist?

You may expect a comprehensive evaluation of your medical history and a complete physical examination during your first visit to the radiation oncologist. The radiation oncologist may even discuss the treatment options with you, including potential risks and benefits and set some realistic expectations.

What happens after radiation therapy is completed?

Immediately after therapy, you may have follow-up appointments to monitor your vitals for 1-2 days. This is done to ensure that there are no late side effects or signs of cancer recurrence. Your therapist may specifically recommend that you consider a proper skincare routine and management tips to address fatigue and changes in appetite.

Is radiation therapy covered by insurance?

Our expert oncologists, general surgeons, and other cancer specialists are here to discuss your options and help you make informed decisions. It is, however, crucial to discuss the possibility of insurance coverage for a section of the surgical expenses with your healthcare provider. It may be beneficial to discover government subsidies or policies that may aid in managing the operations associated with the affordable radiation therapy cost in India.

Will radiation therapy affect my daily routine?

Like any treatment, radiation therapy has a few side effects, including fatigue, hair loss, and changes in bowel function and urination. Other potential side effects include skin irritation, mouth and throat infections, nausea or vomiting, and diarrhoea or constipation. The duration of these side effects depends on the length of exposure and frequency of treatment, which in turn depend on the treatment area and the patient’s response to the therapy.
