Women's cancers, particularly breast cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and other gynaecological malignancies, represent a substantial proportion of the cancer burden in Bengaluru and Karnataka. Radiation therapy plays a central and often curative role in the treatment of each of these cancers, whether as adjuvant treatment following surgery to reduce recurrence risk, as primary treatment in combination with chemotherapy, or as palliative treatment for advanced disease. The technology available at SPARSH Hospital, Hennur Road, Bengaluru, including IMRT, IGRT, VMAT, deep inspiratory breath hold for cardiac protection in left-sided breast cancer, brachytherapy for cervical and endometrial cancer, SBRT, SRS, and CyberKnife-based treatment planning, spans the full range of modern radiation oncology. Dr. P Sasikala, with 16 years of clinical experience, 5,000 patients treated, and a Best Paper Award from the Indian Brachytherapy Society for her research in breast cancer brachytherapy, provides individualised, evidence-based radiation treatment for women with cancer across Bengaluru and Karnataka.
