Radiation Oncologist, Brachytherapy & Stereotactic Radiosurgery Specialist in Visakhapatnam12+ Years
HCG Cancer Hospital
Visakhapatnam
Dr. Vijaya Aditya Yadaraju is an experienced Consultant Radiation Oncologist practicing at HCG Cancer Hospital, Chinnagadili, Visakhapatnam. With more than 12 years of experience, he specialises in advanced external beam radiation therapy, stereotactic radiation techniques and brachytherapy for different types of cancer.
He completed his MBBS from Andhra Medical College, Visakhapatnam, followed by MD in Radiation Oncology from Ramaiah Medical College, Bengaluru. He has also received specialised clinical training in CyberKnife-based radiation therapy.
Dr. Vijaya Aditya Yadaraju has expertise in modern radiation techniques including Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), RapidArc, Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT), Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT).
His clinical interests include radiation treatment for head and neck cancers, gastrointestinal cancers, gynecological malignancies and central nervous system tumours. He develops personalised radiation plans based on tumour type, location, stage and individual patient requirements.
Dr. Yadaraju also has significant expertise in brachytherapy, including intracavitary and interstitial techniques. Brachytherapy can be particularly important in selected cervical, uterine and other gynecological cancers by delivering radiation close to the tumour while limiting exposure to surrounding tissues.
He is experienced in the management of esophageal, stomach, colon, rectal, pancreatic and gallbladder cancers requiring radiation therapy. His practice also includes radiation treatment for ovarian, uterine, endometrial, cervical, vaginal and vulvar cancers.
Dr. Vijaya Aditya Yadaraju also provides palliative radiotherapy for patients with advanced cancers. Palliative radiation may help relieve symptoms such as pain, bleeding or pressure caused by tumours and can play an important role in maintaining quality of life.
At HCG Cancer Hospital, he works as part of a multidisciplinary cancer care team involving surgical oncologists, medical oncologists, radiologists and other specialists to develop coordinated and individualised treatment plans for each patient.
Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells or control tumour growth. Dr. Vijaya Aditya Yadaraju develops personalised radiation plans according to the cancer type, size, location and disease stage.
IMRT is an advanced radiotherapy technique that shapes the radiation dose closely around the tumour while reducing unnecessary exposure to nearby healthy tissues.
VMAT delivers precisely controlled radiation while the treatment machine rotates around the patient. It can provide highly conformal treatment and may reduce treatment delivery time in suitable cases.
IGRT uses imaging before or during radiation treatment to confirm tumour position and improve treatment accuracy, particularly when the target is close to sensitive organs.
SRS delivers highly focused radiation to selected brain and central nervous system lesions. It provides a concentrated radiation dose while limiting exposure to surrounding healthy tissue.
SBRT is a highly precise radiation technique used for selected tumours outside the brain. It typically delivers focused radiation over a limited number of treatment sessions.
CyberKnife uses robotic image-guided technology to deliver highly focused radiation to selected tumours. Dr. Vijaya Aditya Yadaraju has received specialised training in CyberKnife-based radiation therapy.
Brachytherapy involves placing a radiation source close to or within the tumour area. Dr. Yadaraju provides intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy for selected cancers, particularly gynecological malignancies.
Radiation treatment for head and neck cancers requires careful planning because several sensitive structures may be located close to the tumour. Techniques such as IMRT and IGRT can help improve treatment precision.
Dr. Vijaya Aditya Yadaraju provides radiation treatment for selected gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal, stomach, colon, rectal, pancreatic and gallbladder cancers as part of multidisciplinary care.
He treats ovarian, uterine, endometrial, cervical, vaginal and vulvar cancers using external beam radiation and brachytherapy depending on disease type and stage.
Radiation therapy may be used for selected tumours involving the brain and central nervous system. Techniques such as SRS and other precision radiation approaches can help target tumours while limiting exposure to normal tissue.
Palliative radiation treatment may help relieve symptoms caused by advanced cancer, including pain, bleeding and pressure-related symptoms, with the goal of improving comfort and quality of life.
