Dr. Nithiin Balachandar – Expertise

• External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): Using advanced imaging and precise radiation delivery techniques, external beam radiation targets cancer cells from outside the body, ensuring maximum effectiveness while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue.
• Brachytherapy: A form of internal radiation therapy where radioactive sources are placed directly inside or near the tumor, providing high doses of radiation with a targeted approach, often used in cancers of the prostate, breast, and gynecological areas.
• Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): A non-invasive, highly precise treatment for brain and spine tumors, offering an alternative to traditional surgery with minimal risk and recovery time.
• Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): A specialized form of radiation therapy used to treat tumors in organs such as the lungs, liver, and pancreas, delivering high doses of radiation with great precision in fewer treatment sessions.
• Proton Therapy: Utilizing proton beams instead of traditional X-rays, proton therapy delivers radiation with extreme accuracy, minimizing the impact on surrounding healthy tissues, and is often used for pediatric patients or tumors located near critical organs.
• Palliative Radiation Therapy: Aimed at relieving symptoms and improving the quality of life for patients with advanced cancer, palliative radiation helps reduce pain, bleeding, and other cancer-related symptoms.
• Radiation for Lymphoma: Specialized radiation treatments for patients with lymphoma to target cancerous lymph nodes and improve the outcomes of treatment.
• Neuro-Oncology Radiation: Treating brain and spinal cord tumors using cutting-edge radiation techniques, such as SRS and SBRT, with an emphasis on preserving neurological function.
• Tumor Ablation with Radiation: Utilizing radiation to destroy tumors, particularly in cases where surgery may not be feasible, such as in the treatment of certain lung, liver, or kidney cancers.
• Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): A technology that uses real-time imaging to precisely deliver radiation, ensuring accuracy even as tumors shift position during treatment.
