Dr. Vasudevan follows a multidisciplinary approach to cancer care and coordinates with surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiologists and other specialists to create individualised treatment plans.
Her treatment approach focuses on accurate radiation delivery, symptom management and supportive care throughout the cancer treatment journey.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy or control cancer cells while reducing unnecessary exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
Radiation treatment planning uses imaging, tumor measurements and clinical information to determine the appropriate radiation dose and treatment area for each patient.
Brachytherapy delivers radiation from a source positioned inside or close to the tumor and allows a concentrated dose to be delivered to a targeted area.
Chemoradiation combines chemotherapy and radiation therapy and may be used for selected cancers when simultaneous treatment can improve disease control.
Radiotherapy may be recommended after breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy depending on tumor stage, lymph node involvement and recurrence risk.
Radiation therapy for lung cancer may be used alone or combined with chemotherapy depending on cancer type, stage, tumor location and overall patient health.
Radiotherapy is commonly used for cancers of the oral cavity, throat, larynx and other head and neck structures, either alone or combined with chemotherapy and surgery.
Radiation therapy may form part of treatment for selected cancers of the esophagus, stomach, rectum and other gastrointestinal organs.
Radiotherapy may be used in the treatment of cervical, uterine and other gynecological cancers and can include external radiation and brachytherapy.
Palliative radiotherapy can help reduce cancer-related symptoms such as pain, bleeding or compression in patients with advanced disease.
