CION Ameerpet
CION delivers IMRT and IGRT radiation for oral cancer, planned by a tumour board so the dose hits the cancer and spares healthy tissue. No rushed decisions. No unnecessary tests. Transparent costs from day one.
Radiation therapy uses carefully targeted high-energy beams to destroy oral cancer cells while protecting the healthy tissue around them. It is one of the three main pillars of oral cancer care, alongside surgery and chemotherapy.
When it is used — radiation may be given after surgery to lower the chance the cancer returns, combined with chemotherapy for stronger effect, or as the main treatment when surgery is not the right choice for you.
How CION decides — your treatment is never one doctor's opinion. A tumour board of surgical, medical, and radiation oncologists reviews your scans and pathology together, then explains the plan to you in a 45-minute consultation. For a full picture of oral cancer treatment in Hyderabad, see our main treatment page. Decisions for healing, not billing.
Modern IMRT shapes the radiation dose around the tumour and steers it away from the salivary glands — which can meaningfully reduce long-term dry mouth compared with older 2D techniques. Source: NCCN Head and Neck Cancers Guidelines.
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy divides each beam into many small segments, so the high dose conforms tightly to the tumour shape and spares nearby structures like the salivary glands and spinal cord.
Image-guided radiation therapy takes an image before each session to confirm your position. This keeps the beam accurate day after day, even as swelling or weight changes over the course.
For certain oral cancers, radiation and chemotherapy are given together to make the radiation more effective. Your tumour board weighs the added benefit against side effects before recommending it.
A panel of 17 super-specialist oncologists, including dedicated radiation oncologists, plans and reviews your treatment.
Care across 35+ centres in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, so daily treatment fits around your life.
A written estimate before treatment starts. Aarogyasri, CGHS, ECHS, ESI, insurance cashless, and EMI discussed where they apply.

A 45-minute consultation, your scans reviewed by a tumour board, and a free written second opinion. We walk this journey with you.
Your radiation oncologist explains the plan in a 45-minute consultation. A dental check is arranged first, because treating the mouth before radiation lowers the risk of later jaw and tooth problems.
A custom mask holds your head still and a planning CT scan maps the exact target. The physics team then designs an IMRT plan that concentrates the dose on the cancer and away from healthy tissue.
Sessions run Monday to Friday for about six to seven weeks. Each visit takes only a few minutes of beam time. IGRT imaging confirms your position before every session so the dose stays accurate.
Through the course, our nutritionist, dentist, and pain team help you manage a sore mouth, dry mouth, and eating — so you stay nourished and comfortable. Healing beyond medicine.
After treatment ends, side effects ease over a few weeks. Regular follow-up visits track your recovery and watch for any sign of recurrence, with your tumour board guiding next steps.

Most side effects build up gradually and settle within a few weeks of finishing treatment. Your team reviews you at every visit and adjusts support as needed.
Early diagnosis and well-planned treatment matter. The figures below show CION's 1-year survival alongside the national average.

Start Your Story. Book Free Consultation.Radiation therapy uses precisely targeted high-energy X-ray beams to destroy oral cancer cells while sparing nearby healthy tissue. At CION it is delivered as IMRT or IGRT and planned by a tumour board. It may be used after surgery to lower the chance of recurrence, combined with chemotherapy, or as the main treatment when surgery is not suitable.
A typical course runs for about six to seven weeks, with short daily sessions from Monday to Friday. Each session lasts only a few minutes, and most of that time is spent positioning you accurately. Your radiation oncologist confirms the exact schedule after CT-based planning and discusses it with you during your 45-minute consultation.
The beam delivery itself causes no sensation, much like having an X-ray. Side effects such as a sore mouth, dry mouth, or skin changes build up gradually over the weeks. CION's allied-care team manages these with nutrition support, pain relief, and dental care so you stay comfortable through the course.
Common side effects include a sore mouth and throat, difficulty swallowing, reduced saliva, taste changes, and skin redness in the treated area. Most ease within a few weeks of finishing treatment. IMRT and IGRT shape the dose tightly around the tumour to reduce dose to the salivary glands and jaw, which helps limit long-term effects.
Sometimes. Radiation after surgery is advised when the pathology shows features such as a close or positive margin, lymph-node spread, or a larger tumour. This decision is never made by one doctor alone at CION — your tumour board reviews the surgery and pathology together and explains the reasoning to you before any plan begins.
Radiation to the mouth can affect the jaw bone and teeth, so a dental review before treatment lowers the risk of later complications. Any extractions or repairs are best done before radiation starts. CION coordinates this dental assessment as part of preparing you for treatment, so nothing delays your care.
Cost depends on the technique, the number of sessions, and whether chemotherapy is combined. CION shares a clear written estimate before treatment begins — decisions for healing, not billing. Aarogyasri, CGHS, ECHS, ESI, insurance cashless, and EMI options are discussed where they apply. Ask for a cost estimation during your free consultation.
Yes. Concurrent chemoradiation gives radiation and chemotherapy together to make the radiation more effective for certain oral cancers. Whether this is right for you depends on your stage, fitness, and pathology. Your tumour board weighs the added benefit against the side effects and discusses the plan with you so the choice is shared, not rushed.
