HCG Cancer Hospital, K R Road
Bangalore
Dr. Krithikaa S, also referred to as Dr. Krithikaa Sekar, is a Consultant Radiation Oncologist in Bengaluru with expertise in modern precision radiotherapy and brachytherapy techniques.
Her clinical practice includes advanced radiation treatment using techniques such as 3D conformal radiotherapy, IMRT, IGRT, stereotactic radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiotherapy, CyberKnife, Tomotherapy and adaptive radiotherapy.
Dr. Krithikaa S completed her MBBS followed by specialist training in Radiation Therapy. Her advanced oncology practice includes external beam radiation therapy as well as specialised brachytherapy techniques such as HDR brachytherapy, intracavitary brachytherapy and interstitial brachytherapy.
She has a strong academic and research interest in cancer biology, artificial intelligence, radiomics, metabolomics, immunoradiotherapy and the integration of newer technologies into personalised radiation treatment planning.
Dr. Krithikaa S is currently associated with HCG Cancer Centre in Bengaluru and also serves as Director of the Vizhithidu Foundation, an initiative focused on cancer awareness and lifestyle-related cancer education.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy or control cancer cells while treatment planning aims to minimise exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
3D conformal radiotherapy uses three-dimensional imaging to shape radiation beams according to the size and location of the tumour.
IMRT precisely adjusts the intensity of radiation beams to deliver an appropriate dose to the tumour while limiting radiation to nearby normal structures.
IGRT uses imaging during the radiation treatment process to verify tumour position and improve treatment accuracy.
SRS delivers highly focused radiation to small and precisely defined targets, generally using one or a limited number of treatment sessions.
SBRT delivers highly focused radiation doses to selected tumours outside the brain using accurate imaging and treatment planning.
Adaptive radiotherapy allows the radiation plan to be modified according to changes in tumour size, patient anatomy or treatment response during the treatment course.
CyberKnife is a robotic radiation delivery system designed to provide highly focused radiation to selected tumours while tracking the treatment target with high precision.
Tomotherapy combines image guidance with intensity-modulated radiation delivery to provide conformal treatment for selected complex tumours.
High-dose-rate brachytherapy places a temporary radiation source close to or within the tumour to deliver a concentrated radiation dose.
Intracavitary brachytherapy places specialised applicators within a body cavity to deliver radiation close to the cancer and is commonly used for selected gynaecological malignancies.
Interstitial brachytherapy places radiation applicators directly within or around the tumour to achieve a highly localised radiation dose.
Radiotherapy for gynaecological cancers may combine external beam radiation and brachytherapy according to cancer type, stage and individual treatment requirements.
