Conditions Treated by Dr. Anil Kumar Anand

Radiation oncologists are trained in treating cancer with radiation therapy or high-energy x-rays to kill cancer cells. Planning, also called mapping, is an important part of the job of radiation oncologists. Here is a list of some of the conditions a radiation oncologist:

• Gastrointestinal Cancers
• Head And Neck Cancer
• Brain Cancer
• Tumors
• Rectal Cancer
• Breast Cancer
• Head and Neck Cancers
• Thyroid Cancer
• Cancers near the Brain and Spinal Cord
• Kidney Tumours
• Prostate Tumours
• Prostate Cancer
• Uterine Cancer
• Cervical Cancer
• Lung Tumours
• Eye Cancer
• Abnormalities in the Brain
• Vascular Malformations
• Pancreas Tumours
• Functional Abnormalities and Small Tumors of the Brain
• Brain Tumours
• Liver Tumours
• Spine Tumours
• Lung Cancer

Radiation therapy is effective in many types of cancer, such as lung, head & neck, prostate, breast cancer. High energy waves are incident on the cancerous cells. The radiation stops certain internal functions of the cells that are involved in the cell division. One problem with radiotherapy is that radiation may damage healthy cells as well.

Popular Procedures performed by Dr. Anil Kumar Anand

The below-listed popular procedures that Dr. Anil Kumar Anand performs are:

• Stereotactic Radio Therapy (SRT)
• Intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT)

Proton therapy is a type of radiation therapy that uses high-energy beams to treat cancer. It has been used with X-rays to treat cancer and noncancerous tumors. Proton therapy uses energy from positively charged particles known as protons. This therapy is also effective in treating several kinds of cancer. . CyberKnifie is another powerful radiation therapy used for cancer treatment. It is a lightweight linear accelerator placed on a robotic arm. Real-time images allow patient movement tracking with high accuracy. The CyberKnife also uses real-time X-rays to find the exact position of the lesion during treatment.
