Where can I get radiotherapy for breast cancer?

Dear New Community Lead ji,

Radio Therapy, also known as radiation therapy, is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells. It is often recommended after breast tumour surgery to eliminate any remaining cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Accessing Radiotherapy Services After Breast Tumour Surgery

As HexaHealth is India's trusted healthcare platform, we do not have our own treatment centers. However, we partner with a wide network of leading hospitals and specialized cancer centers across India, including Delhi and other major cities, that offer advanced radiotherapy services for breast cancer post-surgery.

Why Radiotherapy is Important Post-Surgery

• It helps destroy any microscopic cancer cells that might have been left behind after the surgery.
  
  
• It significantly reduces the risk of the cancer coming back in the breast or nearby lymph nodes.
  
  
• It is a crucial component of a comprehensive treatment plan for many types of breast cancer.

Common Types of Radiotherapy for Breast Cancer

• External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) : This is the most common type, where radiation is delivered from a machine outside the body to the affected area.
  
  
• Brachytherapy (Internal Radiation) : In some cases, a small radioactive source might be placed inside the body, close to the tumour site.

Important Considerations for Radiotherapy

• A radiation oncologist will create a personalized treatment plan based on your specific condition, the type of breast cancer, and the surgical findings.
  
  
• Treatment typically involves several sessions over a few weeks.
  
  
• Common side effects can include skin irritation, fatigue, and temporary soreness, which your medical team will help you manage.
