Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What radiation technology is available at Medanta under Dr. Tejinder Kataria?
A: Medanta The Medicity uses Varian True Beam linear accelerators capable of IMRT (intensity-modulated), IGRT (image-guided), VMAT (volumetric arc), SBRT (stereotactic body), and SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery). This represents the same generation of technology available at leading cancer centres in the USA and Europe.
Q: How much does radiation therapy cost in India at Medanta?
A: A full radiation therapy course (25 to 35 fractions) at Medanta costs approximately $2,500 to $5,500 USD depending on the technique used, tumour site, and number of fractions. Advanced SBRT or SRS treatments for brain or lung lesions cost $3,000 to $6,000 for a complete 3 to 5 fraction course.
Q: Can patients from Kazakhstan travel between radiation therapy sessions?
A: For standard radiation courses (5 days/week for 5-7 weeks), patients need to be in India for the duration. However, for SBRT or SRS treatments (typically 3 to 5 sessions over 1 to 2 weeks), patients can complete treatment in a single visit without extended stay.
Q: Is radiation therapy at Medanta safe will it affect healthy tissues?
A: Modern radiation techniques at Medanta, including IGRT and VMAT, use real-time imaging during each fraction to ensure radiation is delivered precisely to the tumour while minimising dose to surrounding healthy tissue. This represents a significant advancement over conventional radiation and dramatically reduces side effects.
Q: Should I get a radiation oncology second opinion if my local doctor has recommended radiotherapy?
A: Second opinions in radiation oncology are strongly recommended, particularly for complex cases or when the recommended treatment plan does not include IMRT or IGRT. Send your diagnosis, pathology report, and imaging to MediKaya Healthcare for a free second opinion from Dr. Kataria’s team within 48 hours.
