Brachytherapy is a form of radiation therapy where radioactive sources are placed directly inside or very close to the tumor. Unlike external beam radiation, which delivers radiation from outside the body, brachytherapy involves implanting small radioactive pellets, seeds, or sources directly into the tumor or its surrounding tissue. This allows for a high dose of radiation to be delivered precisely to the cancerous area while minimizing exposure to nearby healthy tissues. Brachytherapy is commonly used to treat cancers of the prostate, cervix, uterus, breast, and eye.
The Average Cost of 3DCRT Radiotherapy in Hyderabad is around 40,000 and 70,000.
| Technology | Cost | Description | Best Suited Organs | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2DCRT | ₹ 40 - 60k | ₹ 40,000 - 60,000 | Basic X-ray imaging; delivers radiation from a few fixed angles. | Simple tumors: head, neck, pelvis. |
| 3DCRT | ₹ 40 - 60k | ₹ 40,000 - 60,000 | CT-based planning; delivers shaped radiation from multiple fixed angles. | Brain, prostate, breast cancers. |
| IMRT | ₹ 2.4 - 2.6L | ₹ 2,40,000 - 2,60,000 | Advanced 3DCRT; modulates beam intensity at fixed positions for better tumor targeting. | Prostate, head, neck, brain. |
| IGRT | ₹ 1.6 - 2L | ₹ 1,60,000 - 2,00,000 | Combines imaging during treatment with IMRT for enhanced precision. | Lung, pancreas, prostate. |
| VMAT | ₹ 2.4 - 2.6L | ₹ 2,40,000 - 2,60,000 | Machine rotates 360° around the patient, delivering radiation continuously with real-time adjustments. | Prostate, head, neck, gynecological. |
| RapidArc | ₹ 2.5 - 2.8L | ₹ 2,50,000 - 2,80,000 | A faster, more precise variant of VMAT. | Same as VMAT. |
| MR Linac | ₹ 3.5 - 5L | ₹ 3,50,000 - 5,00,000 | Combines MRI with radiation delivery for real-time imaging and high precision near critical tissues. | Pancreas, liver, complex tumors. |
| SRS | ₹ 50 - 80k | ₹ 50,000 - 80,000 | High-dose, ultra-precise radiation in 1-5 sessions, mainly for small, well-defined tumors. | Brain, lung, spine. |
| ICRT | ₹ 40 - 70k | ₹ 40,000 - 70,000 | Internal radiation delivered through applicators placed inside body cavities. | Cervical, endometrial cancers. |
