Senior Consultant – Radiation Oncology20 Years of Experience in Radiation Oncology
HCG Cancer Hospital, Double Road
Bangalore
Dr. Vijay Bhaskar is a senior Radiation Oncologist in Bengaluru with 20 years of experience in the diagnosis, planning and radiation-based treatment of cancer. His clinical expertise includes the management of head and neck cancers, breast cancers, gynaecological malignancies and brain tumours.
He is experienced in advanced radiation technologies such as Stereotactic Radiosurgery, Stereotactic Radiotherapy, Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy, Intensity-Modulated Arc Therapy, Image-Guided Radiation Therapy, CyberKnife, TomoTherapy and brachytherapy.
Dr. Vijay Bhaskar completed his MBBS followed by MD training in Radiotherapy. He has also received advanced training in modern radiation therapy techniques and has extensive experience in precision radiation treatment planning.
His clinical work includes the use of highly focused radiation techniques for selected brain, head and neck, breast, gynaecological and other solid tumours, with an emphasis on accurate tumour targeting and protection of nearby healthy tissues.
Alongside clinical practice, Dr. Vijay Bhaskar has contributed to oncology research, academic activities and scientific publications in the field of radiation oncology.
SRS delivers highly focused radiation to selected brain and neurological lesions without conventional surgical incisions.
SRT uses highly precise radiation delivered over several sessions to treat selected tumours while limiting radiation exposure to nearby healthy structures.
IMRT adjusts the intensity of radiation beams to conform closely to complex tumour shapes and reduce unnecessary dose to surrounding healthy tissues.
IMAT delivers intensity-modulated radiation while the treatment machine rotates around the patient, allowing highly conformal treatment delivery.
IGRT uses imaging before or during radiation treatment to verify tumour position and improve treatment accuracy.
CyberKnife uses robotic stereotactic radiation technology to deliver precise radiation to selected tumours and lesions.
TomoTherapy combines image guidance with intensity-modulated radiation delivery to accurately treat selected cancers.
Brachytherapy places radioactive sources within or close to the tumour to deliver a concentrated radiation dose to the treatment area.
Radiation therapy for head and neck cancers requires careful planning to treat the tumour while protecting structures involved in swallowing, speech and salivary function.
Radiation therapy may be recommended after breast surgery or in other selected situations to reduce the risk of local recurrence.
Radiation treatment for gynaecological malignancies may include external beam radiotherapy, brachytherapy or combined approaches according to tumour type and stage.
Radiation treatment for brain tumours may use conventional or stereotactic techniques depending on tumour size, location and clinical characteristics.
Radiation therapy may form part of the treatment of selected cancers involving the urinary and reproductive systems depending on tumour stage and clinical requirements.
Radiation therapy for central nervous system tumours is carefully planned to target the tumour while protecting critical neurological structures.
