“Behind every cancer diagnosis is a person — with dreams, responsibilities, and loved ones waiting at home. We promise to treat the cancer without ever forgetting the person.”
Cancer is not just a diagnosis.
It is a moment that changes everything.
It brings fear, unanswered questions, sleepless nights, and a quiet worry that words often fail to express. Patients and families suddenly find themselves on a path they never chose — a path filled with uncertainty.
At KD Hospital, we believe that no one should walk this journey alone.
Radiation oncology, for us, is not only about advanced machines or precise beams of radiation. It is about standing beside the patient, offering reassurance, clarity, dignity, and hope — at every step of treatment.
Radiation oncology uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells and stop them from growing or spreading. Unlike surgery, it treats cancer without cuts or incisions, targeting the disease at the cellular level.
For many patients, radiation therapy is
Why radiation therapy helps
At KD Hospital, we combine world-class technology with deeply compassionate care, ensuring treatment feels safe, respectful, and reassuring.
Advanced LINAC-based radiation therapy at KD Hospital With the Elekta Versa HD Linear Accelerator (LINAC), we deliver radiation with extreme accuracy—precisely targeting the tumour while sparing healthy tissue.
With Cone Beam CT (CBCT) imaging before treatment, we verify tumour position daily — because every millimetre matters.
Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT): Powerful precision, No surgery
SRT is one of the most advanced forms of radiation therapy today. It delivers high-dose radiation in very few sessions, with sub-millimetre accuracy.
At KD Hospital, SRT allows us to treat selected tumours effectively and gently, while preserving the patient’s quality of life.
VMAT & IGRT: Accuracy you can trust, every single day
Cancer can shift slightly inside the body, even due to breathing or digestion.
It ensures radiation reaches exactly where it is needed, reducing side effects and improving outcomes.
Active breath control (ABC): Because every breath matters
In cancers of the lung, liver, or upper abdomen, normal breathing can affect the accuracy of radiation delivery.
Active breath control (ABC) synchronises radiation delivery with breathing, allowing us to
It’s a simple idea — but it makes a powerful difference.
For cancers such as cervical, endometrial, prostate, breast, and oral cancers, brachytherapy places radiation directly at the tumour site.
This focused approach often leads to excellent control with fewer side effects.
Precision planning with MONACO® technology
Behind every successful treatment is careful planning.
At KD Hospital, we use MONACO® treatment planning software, which offers
Each treatment plan is custom-designed for the individual patient — because no two cancers, and no two people, are the same.
