Why Consult Dr Shekhar Kumar Keshri

Radiation therapy outcomes depend more on planning precision and protocol selection than on the machine alone — modern radiotherapy is fundamentally a planning specialty. Dr Keshri's foundation as faculty at Christian Medical College Vellore, combined with international training in Mannheim Germany and Sydney Australia, has shaped his approach to evidence-based protocol selection, particularly for the head and neck, breast, and cervical cancers that form the bulk of cancer presentations across Bihar.

For patients facing decisions about whether radiotherapy is appropriate, what technique to use, and how to combine it with surgery or chemotherapy, this kind of academically trained judgement — now delivered through Paras HMRI Hospital, Indrapuri — addresses one of the longstanding gaps in regional cancer care.
