Bangalore
Dr. Shalini Kamal Kumar is a Consultant Radiation Oncologist in Bengaluru with experience in comprehensive cancer care and advanced radiation therapy. Her clinical work includes treatment planning, radiation delivery, toxicity management and multidisciplinary cancer treatment.
Her areas of expertise include Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy, Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy, Image-Guided Radiation Therapy, Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy, Stereotactic Radiosurgery and 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy.
Dr. Shalini Kamal Kumar also has experience in brachytherapy techniques, including intracavitary, interstitial and intraluminal procedures, along with concurrent chemoradiation for selected malignancies.
Her clinical experience covers head and neck, breast, gynaecological, thoracic, gastrointestinal, central nervous system and genitourinary cancers. She is also involved in palliative radiotherapy and management of cancer-related emergencies such as spinal cord compression, superior vena cava syndrome and brain metastases.
Her approach focuses on evidence-based radiation treatment, precise target delineation using multimodality imaging and coordinated multidisciplinary oncology care.
IMRT adjusts the intensity of radiation beams to closely match the shape of a tumour while helping reduce unnecessary radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
VMAT delivers modulated radiation while the treatment machine rotates around the patient, supporting efficient and highly conformal radiation dose delivery.
IGRT uses imaging before or during treatment to verify tumour position and improve radiation delivery accuracy throughout the treatment course.
SBRT delivers highly focused doses of radiation to selected tumours outside the brain over a limited number of treatment sessions.
SRS delivers highly focused radiation to selected brain and neurological lesions without conventional surgical incisions.
3D-CRT uses three-dimensional imaging and treatment planning to shape radiation beams around the tumour while protecting nearby normal structures.
Intracavitary brachytherapy places radiation applicators inside a natural body cavity close to the tumour and is commonly used for selected gynaecological cancers.
Interstitial brachytherapy involves placing radiation sources directly within or around tumour tissue to deliver a concentrated dose to the treatment area.
Intraluminal brachytherapy delivers internal radiation within a hollow organ or passage and may be used for selected cancers depending on tumour location and treatment goals.
Concurrent chemoradiation combines chemotherapy with radiation therapy during the same treatment period for selected cancers where combined treatment may improve disease control.
Radiation treatment for head and neck cancers requires precise planning to target the tumour while protecting structures involved in speech, swallowing and salivary function.
Radiation therapy may be recommended after breast surgery or in other selected situations to reduce the risk of local cancer recurrence.
Radiation treatment for gynaecological cancers may include external beam therapy, brachytherapy or concurrent chemoradiation depending on cancer type and stage.
Thoracic radiotherapy is used for selected cancers involving the chest, with careful treatment planning to limit radiation exposure to the heart, lungs and other nearby structures.
Radiation therapy may form part of multidisciplinary treatment for selected gastrointestinal cancers depending on the primary tumour site, stage and treatment plan.
Radiation treatment for central nervous system tumours may use conventional or stereotactic techniques based on tumour type, size, location and proximity to critical neurological structures.
Radiation therapy may be used for selected cancers of the urinary and reproductive systems based on tumour stage, location and multidisciplinary treatment recommendations.
Palliative radiation therapy can help reduce symptoms such as pain, bleeding or pressure caused by advanced cancer and support quality of life.
