Consultant – Radiation Oncology | Stereotactic Radiotherapy Specialist16 Years
Fortis Hospital
Bangalore
Dr. Shamsundar S D is a Consultant Radiation Oncologist associated with Fortis Hospital, Bannerghatta Road, and Precision Oncology Clinic, Vijayanagar, Bangalore. With 16 years of experience as listed by Fortis Healthcare, he specialises in advanced radiation treatment for patients with different types of cancer. His clinical expertise includes precision radiotherapy, stereotactic radiation techniques, brachytherapy and multidisciplinary oncology care.
Dr. Shamsundar S D completed his MBBS from M. S. Ramaiah Medical College, followed by MD in Radiation Oncology from King George Medical University. He subsequently pursued advanced fellowship training in Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). His specialist education and training provide a foundation in radiation treatment planning, cancer management and modern radiotherapy techniques.
His clinical interests include radiation treatment for prostate cancer, gynaecological cancers, head and neck cancers and soft tissue malignancies. Radiotherapy may be recommended as a primary treatment, after surgery or in combination with systemic anticancer medicines. Treatment planning involves reviewing pathology findings, medical imaging, cancer stage and surrounding healthy tissues before selecting an appropriate radiation technique.
Dr. Shamsundar has experience with advanced radiotherapy techniques, including Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRT) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT). His expertise also includes respiratory-gated treatment planning and brachytherapy for selected cancer conditions. These approaches help deliver carefully planned radiation doses while considering nearby organs and normal tissues.
His academic background includes more than 25 national and international publications related to oncology. He has contributed to cancer awareness, screening and early detection initiatives and has held leadership responsibilities within the Association of Radiation Oncologists of India (AROI). His professional interests also include continuing education and advances in precision radiation treatment.
Patients seeking a radiation oncologist in Bangalore for prostate cancer, gynaecological malignancies, head and neck cancer or advanced stereotactic radiation treatment can enquire about consultations with Dr. Shamsundar S D. His professional background in precision radiotherapy and multidisciplinary cancer management supports individualised treatment planning based on cancer diagnosis, treatment objectives and clinical suitability.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells or control tumour growth. Dr. Shamsundar S D specialises in radiation oncology and precision radiotherapy for selected cancers. Treatment planning considers the cancer diagnosis, stage, tumour location, previous treatments and surrounding healthy tissues to determine an appropriate radiation approach.
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy is an advanced technique that adjusts radiation beam intensity to deliver a carefully planned dose to a tumour. IMRT can help reduce unnecessary radiation exposure to selected surrounding structures. Dr. Shamsundar S D has documented expertise in IMRT for appropriate cancer treatment situations.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy uses imaging during the treatment process to verify patient positioning and tumour location. This approach helps improve the accuracy of radiation delivery. Dr. Shamsundar S D has experience with IGRT as part of modern radiation oncology, particularly when precise targeting is important for treatment planning.
VMAT delivers radiation while the treatment machine rotates around the patient. Radiation intensity and delivery parameters can be adjusted throughout the treatment arc. Dr. Shamsundar S D has experience in VMAT, which may be suitable for selected cancers requiring conformal radiation planning and efficient treatment delivery.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery is a highly precise radiation treatment technique commonly considered for selected brain tumours and intracranial lesions. Despite its name, it does not involve a surgical incision. Dr. Shamsundar S D has completed advanced fellowship training in stereotactic radiosurgery and precision radiation techniques.
SBRT delivers precisely targeted radiation to selected tumours outside the brain, often over fewer sessions than conventional radiotherapy. Appropriate patient selection and imaging-based planning are essential. Dr. Shamsundar S D has fellowship training in SBRT and experience with advanced stereotactic radiation treatment techniques.
Brachytherapy involves placing a radiation source inside or close to the treatment area. It is an established option for selected gynaecological cancers, particularly cervical cancer. Dr. Shamsundar S D has documented expertise in brachytherapy and radiation treatment planning for gynaecological malignancies.
Radiotherapy may be used to treat localised or locally advanced prostate cancer, depending on disease risk and patient factors. Treatment options can include precisely planned external beam radiation or selected brachytherapy approaches. Prostate cancer radiotherapy is among Dr. Shamsundar S D's documented areas of clinical expertise.
Head and neck cancers may affect the mouth, throat, larynx and surrounding structures. Radiotherapy can form part of treatment either alone or with surgery and systemic medicines. Dr. Shamsundar S D has professional experience in radiation treatment for head and neck malignancies, including advanced radiation planning techniques.
Respiratory-gated radiotherapy coordinates radiation delivery with a patient's breathing cycle to help account for movement of the treatment target. It may be useful for selected tumours affected by respiratory motion. Dr. Shamsundar S D has documented experience in respiratory-gated techniques as part of advanced precision radiotherapy.
