What are the stages of radiotherapy care, from the first call to follow-up?
- 1
The first call
Leave your number or call the helpline. The care team asks what has been found, what treatment has happened already, and whether a doctor has suggested radiation. They book the right first consultation.
- 2
A consultation at Kompally
An oncologist at CION Kompally reads every report and decides what is still missing. Bring the old scans as well as the new ones.
- 3
The tumour board decides the order
Your case is discussed by surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists together. They agree whether radiation comes first, after an operation, alongside chemotherapy, or not at all.
- 4
Planning and treatment
You meet the radiation oncologist, have a planning scan, and then start treatment at the centre your care team named. The doctor reviews you regularly during the course.
- 5
Follow-up closer to home
After the last visit, follow-up and any further medicines can usually come back to CION Kompally. A scan to check the response is done some time later, once the treated area has settled.
Who else works on your radiotherapy besides the doctor?
Radiotherapy is a team effort. Knowing the roles helps you ask the right person.
Medical physicist
Checks that the machine delivers exactly the dose the doctor prescribed, to exactly the right place. You may never meet them, but every plan passes through their hands.
Radiation technologist
The person you see each day. They position you on the couch, line up the marks, run the machine and watch you on a camera throughout.
Nurse and dietitian
Help with skin care, eating, and side effects between doctor reviews. Tell them early about soreness, poor appetite or weight loss.
More CION Specialists
Every case goes to CION’s network tumour board, where these specialists from CION’s centres join your doctor. Ask for any of them when you book.

What should a Kompally family sort out before radiotherapy starts?
Who goes with the patient each day
Because: Tiredness builds up, and travelling alone gets harder later in the course
Leave from work, for patient and carer
Because: Most visits fall on weekdays during working hours
A folder of every report
Because: Each new doctor will ask for the biopsy and the latest scan
Soft, easy food at home
Because: Mouth, throat and bowel treatment can make eating harder
The care team's number saved
Because: So a worrying side effect is reported the same day
Which radiotherapy myths delay treatment?
Myth
"An older person is too weak for radiation."
What is true: Age alone does not rule it out. What matters is how well the person manages day to day and what the treatment aims to do. Courses can be adjusted, and many older patients complete them well.
Myth
"If it does not hurt, it is not working."
What is true: You feel nothing from the beam itself. That says nothing about whether it is working. The effect on the cancer builds quietly over the course and for weeks after.
Myth
"We should wait until the pain becomes severe."
What is true: When cancer in a bone is causing pain, radiotherapy given early can ease it and lower the chance of a break. Waiting rarely helps. Mention new bone pain to your oncologist promptly.
Myth
"Home remedies on the skin will protect it."
What is true: Some oils, powders and pastes make radiation skin reactions worse. Use only what your radiotherapy team has approved, and ask before applying anything new.
What happens at CION Kompally during a radiotherapy plan?
Consultations and chemotherapy are given at CION Kompally. So the first visit, any chemotherapy that runs alongside radiation, and most follow-up can happen here, even though the beam itself is given at the centre your team names.
1When chemotherapy and radiation overlap
For several cancers the two are given in the same weeks. Your medical oncologist plans the chemotherapy at Kompally, checks your blood counts and talks to the radiation oncologist about timing. That spares you from having to coordinate it yourself.
2Finding CION Kompally
The centre is at H.No. 2-181/2/C, Suchitra Circle, NH-44, Kompally, Hyderabad 500067, a two-minute walk from the Suchitra Circle bus stop. It is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM.
3Families from the north of the city
Patients from Suchitra Circle, Alwal, Dundigal, Medchal, Quthbullapur and Secunderabad North often start here. If another CION centre is easier for you, the same helpline books it.

What do Kompally patients ask about radiation oncology?
Still unsure? Call 1800 202 8726.
1Is there a radiotherapy centre at CION Kompally?
No. CION Kompally gives consultations and chemotherapy. CION's radiation oncologists plan the radiotherapy, and your care team names the centre that gives it. You know the place, and have a written estimate, before you agree to anything.
2Do the radiation oncologists see patients at Kompally?
Dr. Kirti Ranjan Mohanty and Dr. Gangadhar Vajrala are part of the CION team that serves Kompally. The care team tells you where and when each one sees patients, so call the helpline before you plan the trip.
3Why must I go every weekday?
The total dose is split into many small daily treatments. Normal tissue recovers a little between them, while cancer cells recover less well. Keeping to the schedule matters, so tell the team early if travel, illness or a family event threatens a gap.
4Can I travel on my own to each visit?
Many people manage alone at first. Tiredness tends to build towards the end of the course, and some treatments make eating or sitting uncomfortable. Plan for someone to come with you in the later weeks, especially if the journey is long.
5Will radiation affect the rest of my family at home?
Not with radiotherapy from a machine outside the body. You are not radioactive and can be close to children and pregnant relatives. A few internal treatments need short precautions, and your doctor explains them if they apply to you.
6What should I eat during radiotherapy?
Regular meals with enough protein, plenty of fluids, and softer food if your mouth or throat is being treated. A pelvic course may call for changes to fibre. Ask the dietitian, because the advice depends on the area treated.
7Does CION help with insurance for radiotherapy?
CION's team helps with cashless insurance and gives you a written estimate before you start. Bring your policy papers to the first consultation. If you have a government or employer scheme, mention it when you call so the team can check what it covers.
8Can I get a second opinion before I agree?
Yes. Bring the plan from the other hospital, with the scans and biopsy report. A CION oncologist will tell you whether they agree, and why. It does not tie you to treatment at CION, and it usually takes very little time.
