MS Ramaiah Trained Radiation Oncologist with SRS, SBRT, CyberKnife and IAPC Palliative Care Capability

Radiation oncology has evolved substantially, with stereotactic techniques (SRS, SBRT), CyberKnife, VMAT, and image-guided radiotherapy transforming what is achievable for many cancers compared with conventional radiotherapy. Equally important but often overlooked is the role of formal palliative care training in radiation oncology, since a substantial proportion of radiotherapy is delivered with palliative intent and requires structured symptom management and supportive care coordination.

Dr Girish's combination of MD Radiation Oncology from MS Ramaiah Medical Teaching Hospital, advanced training across SRS, SBRT, IGRT, IMRT, VMAT, Rapid Arc, Brachytherapy, and CyberKnife, and IAPC (Indian Association of Palliative Care) certification addresses both the precision and the compassionate dimensions of cancer radiotherapy. His four peer-reviewed publications including research on accelerated partial breast irradiation dosimetry and IMRT plan evaluation uncertainties reflect sustained engagement with the evidence base supporting modern radiotherapy planning. His leadership roles in developing and commissioning radiation oncology departments at premier cancer institutes, combined with AROI Life Membership (No. 1117), postgraduate training engagement, and six language fluency in Kannada, English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam, support accessible, compassionate cancer radiotherapy care at Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road.
