Cancer Types Treated and Radiation Techniques

Gynaecological Cancers in Bangalore

Dr Vijetha J has focused clinical experience in the radiation management of gynaecological malignancies, including cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer.

She has published peer-reviewed research on image-guided brachytherapy outcomes specifically in the Indian clinical setting for cervical cancer treatment.

Radiation techniques used for gynaecological cancers:

• Image Guided Brachytherapy (IGBT) for cervical and endometrial cancers
• Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT)
• Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy for pelvic malignancies

Brain Tumours

Dr Vijetha manages primary and secondary brain tumours including gliomas, meningiomas, and brain metastases using highly targeted radiation delivery techniques that protect surrounding healthy brain tissue.

Radiation techniques used for brain tumours:

• Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) for small, well-defined intracranial tumours and metastases
• Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) for selected cases
• IGRT for precision delivery during fractionated radiotherapy

Paediatric Cancers

Dr J has dedicated clinical experience in radiation oncology for paediatric tumours, where treatment planning requires particularly careful attention to minimising radiation dose to developing tissues while maintaining tumour control.

Head and Neck Cancers

She manages squamous cell carcinomas of the oral cavity, larynx, pharynx, and salivary glands. Her published research addresses the clinical question of elective tracheostomy planning in head and neck cancer patients with laryngeal obstruction, a specific and practical clinical challenge in this patient group.

Radiation techniques used for head and neck cancers:

• IGRT for accurate daily delivery to complex head and neck targets
• SBRT for selected recurrent or small-volume disease

Breast Cancer

Dr Vijetha J provides adjuvant and definitive radiation therapy for breast cancer following surgery, including post-mastectomy radiotherapy and partial breast irradiation.

Rare Skin Tumours

Dr Vijetha has published on rare dermatological malignancies and uses Total Skin Electron Radiation Therapy (TSET) for cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and Mycosis Fungoides, a highly specialised radiation technique for skin cancers requiring whole-body treatment.
