Dr. Rashmi S – Radiation Oncologist in Bengaluru

Dr. Rashmi S is a Radiation Oncologist practising in Bengaluru and is currently listed with HCG Cancer Hospital, Double Road. Her clinical speciality focuses on the use of radiation therapy as part of comprehensive cancer treatment.

Radiation Oncology involves the use of carefully planned radiation to treat malignant tumours while limiting unnecessary exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Treatment may be used independently or combined with surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy or other oncology treatments depending on the cancer type and stage.

Her Radiation Oncology practice may involve modern treatment approaches such as external beam radiation therapy, image-guided radiation techniques, intensity-modulated radiation therapy and other precision radiation methods based on individual clinical requirements.

Radiation treatment planning typically considers tumour location, disease stage, surrounding organs and the patient's overall health to determine an appropriate dose and treatment schedule.

Dr. Rashmi S works within a multidisciplinary oncology setting where radiation treatment can be coordinated with medical oncologists, surgical oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and supportive-care specialists as required.

Areas of Expertise and Treatments

External Beam Radiation Therapy

External Beam Radiation Therapy delivers carefully planned radiation from a treatment machine outside the body to target cancer cells while limiting exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)

IMRT adjusts the intensity and shape of radiation beams to conform more closely to the tumour and help reduce unnecessary radiation exposure to nearby normal structures.

Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)

IGRT uses imaging before or during treatment to verify tumour position and improve the accuracy of radiation delivery throughout the treatment course.

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)

SRS delivers highly focused radiation to selected brain or neurological lesions without conventional surgical incisions.

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

SBRT delivers highly focused doses of radiation to selected tumours outside the brain over a limited number of treatment sessions.

3D Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D CRT)

3D Conformal Radiation Therapy uses three-dimensional imaging and treatment planning to shape radiation beams around the tumour.

Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy is a form of internal radiation treatment in which radioactive sources are positioned within or close to the tumour for targeted radiation delivery.

Precision Radiation Therapy

Precision radiation therapy combines detailed imaging, treatment planning and modern radiation-delivery techniques to accurately target cancer while protecting surrounding healthy structures.

Head and Neck Cancer Radiation Therapy

Radiation treatment for head and neck cancers requires precise targeting to treat the tumour while protecting structures involved in swallowing, speech and salivary function.

Brain Tumor Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy for brain tumours may use conventional or stereotactic techniques depending on the tumour type, size, location and clinical requirements.

Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy may form part of breast cancer treatment following surgery or in other selected situations to help reduce the risk of local cancer recurrence.

Lung Cancer Radiation Therapy

Radiation therapy for lung cancer may be used alone or alongside chemotherapy, surgery or systemic treatment depending on disease stage and tumour characteristics.

Gynecologic Cancer Radiation Therapy

Radiotherapy may be used in the management of selected gynecological cancers as external beam treatment, brachytherapy or a combination of radiation techniques.

Palliative Radiation Therapy

Palliative radiotherapy may be used to relieve symptoms such as pain, bleeding or pressure caused by advanced cancer and to support quality of life.
