Frequently Asked Questions
Dr. Chadha’s extensive experience at India's top cancer institutes, his specialisation in high-precision techniques, and his vast case volume—over 500 SRS and 300 SBRT procedures—make him a leading authority in Stereotactic Radiotherapy and a top radiation oncologist in India.
SRS is a highly precise, non-invasive form of radiation therapy that delivers a single, large dose of radiation directly to a small, well-defined tumour or abnormality, typically in the brain. It is an effective alternative to surgery for certain conditions like acoustic neuromas, meningiomas, and trigeminal neuralgia.
SBRT delivers very high doses of radiation to tumours outside the brain (e.g., in the lung, liver, spine) in just a few treatment sessions (typically 1-5). It is far more precise and potent than conventional radiotherapy, leading to better tumour control and fewer side effects.
4D Radiotherapy is an advanced technique that accounts for tumour motion caused by breathing. It is especially useful for treating cancers in the lung, liver, and upper abdomen. Techniques like gating or tracking ensure that radiation is delivered only when the tumour is in the correct position, protecting surrounding healthy tissue.
Yes, Dr. Chadha holds a SIOP Paediatric Fellowship and has a special interest in Paediatric Radiation Oncology. He is experienced in applying advanced radiation techniques with special considerations for the unique needs of children to minimise long-term side effects.
Re-irradiation is the process of delivering radiation therapy to an area that has previously been irradiated. It is a very complex and challenging procedure that requires immense expertise. Dr. Chadha has experience with over 500 such cases, using high-precision techniques to make it a safe and viable option for select patients with recurrent cancer.
TBI is a form of radiotherapy where the entire body is treated with radiation. It is most commonly used as part of the preparatory regimen before a bone marrow or stem cell transplant to eliminate any remaining cancer cells and suppress the immune system.
Radiation oncology is a field where clinical medicine and physics are deeply intertwined. Dr. Chadha's passion for physics allows him to have a profound understanding of the technology and dosimetry behind radiation delivery, enabling him to design and execute highly complex and precise treatment plans for better patient outcomes.
Adaptive radiotherapy is a modern approach where the radiation plan is modified during the course of treatment to account for changes in the tumour's size and shape or the patient's anatomy. It is particularly useful in head and neck cancers, where tumours shrink significantly, allowing for a more targeted and safer treatment.
You can easily schedule a virtual or in-person consultation for a second opinion with Dr. Chadha by contacting the Cancer Rounds team. We will assist you in sharing your medical reports and setting up a comprehensive discussion about your treatment options.
