Tomotherapy cost in India

Q: How long does it take to recover from radiotherapy treatment?

The side effects of radiotherapy usually peak up to two weeks after treatment has finished. The effects of radiotherapy continue developing, and it may take a further couple of weeks to several months for you to feel normal, depending on the area of the body that has been treated.

Q: How long does it take for radiation to shrink a tumor?

For tumors that divide slowly, the mass may shrink over a long, extended period after radiation stops. The median time for a prostate cancer to shrink is about 18 months (some quicker, some slower).

Q: What is the success rate of radiation therapy?

When it comes to early stages of disease, patients very frequently do well with either brachytherapy or external beam radiation. Success rates of around 90% or higher can be achieved with either approach.

Q: Does radiation weaken your immune system?

Radiation therapy can potentially affect your immune system, especially if a significant amount of bone marrow is being irradiated because of its role in creating white blood cells. However, this doesn't typically suppress the immune system enough to make you more susceptible to infections.

Q: What can you not do during radiation treatment?

Foods to avoid or reduce during radiation therapy include sodium (salt), added sugars, solid (saturated) fats, and an excess of alcohol. Some salt is needed in all diets.

Q: What is the most common acute side effect of radiation treatment?

Fatigue is the most common acute side effect of radiation therapy. It is believed to be caused by the tremendous amount of energy that is used by the body to heal itself in response to radiation therapy.

Know More About Procedure & Surgery

TomoTherapy is an advanced form of image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) that fuses a CT scanner with a helical, rotating linear accelerator, so the machine images the tumour immediately before and during every treatment session and adjusts the radiation beam in real time - delivering the dose with sub-millimetre accuracy while sparing surrounding healthy tissue far more effectively than older, non-image-guided radiotherapy. It is especially valuable for tumours near critical structures such as the head and neck, prostate, and spine, and can also deliver total-body or total-marrow irradiation for patients undergoing bone marrow transplant conditioning. A typical course runs over several weeks of daily fractions depending on the cancer type and treatment intent, with each session lasting 15-30 minutes including imaging and positioning, and is planned by a radiation oncologist and medical physicist using CT/MRI-based simulation to map the tumour and organs at risk before treatment begins. India's NABH/JCI-accredited cancer centres operate TomoTherapy units under radiation oncologists trained on the platform internationally, offering the full planning-through-delivery course at a fraction of what the same IGRT course costs in the US, UK, or Gulf private hospitals. Satyug Healthcare's TomoTherapy package covers CT/MRI-based simulation and treatment planning, the full prescribed course of fractions, on-treatment physician review visits, and management of common radiation side effects, with a dedicated coordinator managing the daily scheduling a multi-week radiotherapy course requires for an international patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

How effective is TomoTherapy?

It provides unprecedented precision, allowing radiation to be delivered directly at the tumor while relatively sparing healthy surrounding tissue. This means faster, more effective treatment with fewer side effects than with conventional radiation therapy.
