Radiation Oncology

Precision Radiation Therapy for Effective Cancer Treatment

Radiation therapy is one of the most commonly used treatments for cancer and may be recommended as the primary treatment or alongside surgery, chemotherapy or immunotherapy. At Sterling Hospitals, our Radiation Oncology team delivers highly precise radiation treatment using advanced planning systems and modern radiation technologies designed to target cancer while minimising exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.

Every treatment plan is carefully developed based on the location, size and characteristics of the tumour, helping ensure accurate radiation delivery while preserving normal tissues wherever possible.

What is Radiation Oncology?

Radiation Oncology is the branch of cancer care that uses carefully planned, high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells or prevent them from growing and spreading. Treatment is customised for each patient and may be used with curative intent, before or after surgery, alongside systemic therapy or to help relieve symptoms in advanced cancers.

Advances in imaging and radiation delivery have made treatment more accurate than ever before, allowing radiation to be delivered with greater precision while reducing exposure to nearby healthy organs

Radiation Treatments We Offer

Radiation Therapy - Uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells or shrink tumours while preserving surrounding healthy tissues wherever possible. Know More

Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) - Delivers highly precise radiation doses by shaping the radiation beam to match the tumour. Know More

Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) - Uses advanced imaging before each treatment session to improve radiation accuracy. Know More

Stereotactic Radiation - Delivers very high doses of radiation to small, well-defined tumours with exceptional precision. Know More

RapidArc Radiotherapy - Provides highly precise radiation treatment in shorter treatment sessions using continuous beam delivery. Know More

Brachytherapy - Places a radiation source directly within or close to the tumour to deliver targeted treatment. Know More

4D Respiratory Motion Gated Radiotherapy - Synchronises radiation delivery with breathing movements for improved treatment accuracy. Know More

4D Respiratory Motion Gating CT - Captures tumour movement during breathing to support more accurate radiation treatment planning. Know More

Frequently Asked Questions

Does radiation therapy hurt?

No. Radiation treatment itself is painless. Patients do not feel the radiation while it is being delivered.

How long does a radiation therapy session take?

Most treatment sessions take only a few minutes, although the overall appointment may be longer due to treatment preparation and positioning.

Will I receive radiation every day?

Treatment schedules vary depending on the type of cancer and treatment plan. Some patients receive treatment over several weeks, while others may require fewer sessions.

Can radiation therapy be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Radiation therapy is often combined with surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy or targeted therapy depending on the treatment plan.

What are the possible side effects of radiation therapy?

Side effects depend on the area being treated and generally vary from patient to patient. Your radiation oncologist will discuss the expected benefits and possible side effects before treatment begins.
