RapidArc is an advanced radiation therapy technique that uses a rotational approach to deliver precise, high-dose radiation to tumors. Unlike traditional methods that deliver radiation from fixed angles, RapidArc uses a continuous rotation of the radiation machine (linear accelerator) around the patient. During the rotation, the radiation beam is precisely shaped and delivered in a single, continuous arc. This allows for faster treatment times, typically reducing the length of each session significantly, while maintaining high levels of accuracy. RapidArc is commonly used to treat a variety of cancers, including those in the brain, prostate, lung, and head and neck, and is particularly useful for tumors located near critical structures.
The Average Cost of RapidArc Radiotherapy in Hyderabad is around 50,000 and 80,000.
| 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. |
