New radiation technique to fight cancer

Our Bureau

Hyderabad , June 18

YASHODA Hospital, which runs three hospitals in the city, has launched a sophisticated radiation technique that can destroy cancerous tissues without damaging the normal ones in the neighbourhood.

The radiation technique, scientifically called Dynamic Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (Dynamic IMRT) was installed at a cost of Rs 25 crore.

"This is like laser-guided precision bombing of tumour. Unlike in the traditional radiation method, it won't damage the normal tissues," Dr M. Babaiah Director of Yashoda Cancer Institute at the Secunderabad unit.
