Dr. Ranajit Kar

Dr Ranajit Kar is a Senior Radiation Oncologist in Cuttack with 26 years of clinical experience.

He currently serves as the Head of the Department of Radiation Oncology at HCG Panda Cancer Centre in Telengapentha, where he oversees the treatment of over 2,200 complex cancer cases every year.

Dr Kar possesses an incredibly elite, apex-tier oncological pedigree. To super-specialize, he earned a highly rigorous DNB in Radiation Oncology from the world-renowned Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai, the absolute premier cancer research institute in India.

Demonstrating immense clinical authority, he subsequently served as a Consultant at Tata Memorial Hospital before being appointed as a Department Head in the private sector.

His clinical focus is the administration of highly advanced, computer-guided radiation protocols (IMRT, IGRT, and SRS) designed to permanently burn and destroy deep-seated tumors without damaging the surrounding healthy organs.

Dr Kar is fluent in English, Hindi, and Odia, allowing him to clearly communicate highly complex radiation mechanics and palliative care protocols to a diverse patient demographic across Odisha.

Specialty Areas and Treatments

Dr Ranajit Kar provides highly authoritative radiation oncology services, integrating modern linear accelerators and targeted radioactive isotopes to manage highly aggressive malignancies.

Advanced Linear Accelerator (LINAC) Protocols

Dr Kar utilizes massive, computerized radiation machines to sculpt high-energy x-ray beams to the exact 3D shape of a patient's tumor:

• Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
• Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
• Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and SRT for Brain Tumors
• 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT)

Brachytherapy (Internal Radiation)

Instead of aiming radiation from the outside, he surgically implants highly radioactive isotopes directly inside the cancer itself:

• High-Dose-Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy for Gynaecological Cancers
• Low-Dose-Rate (LDR) Brachytherapy for Prostate Cancers
• Targeted Radiation for Head, Neck, and Breast Oncology

Palliative and Salvage Radiation

He utilizes advanced radiation physics to control severe pain and stop aggressive cancers that have failed to respond to other treatments:

• Salvage Re-Irradiation for Recurrent Tumors
• Palliative Radiation for Bone and Brain Metastases
• Symptom Control in Advanced-Stage Malignancies
