Introduction
Dr. Sanjay Unmat, a lead radiation oncologist at the Group of Hospitals, shares insights into the treatment of a patient diagnosed with intermediate-risk prostate cancer using state-of-the-art technology.
Patient Diagnosis
The patient arrived at the hospital with a confirmed diagnosis of prostate cancer, classified under the intermediate-risk category. After a thorough evaluation, the medical team decided on an effective treatment plan.
Treatment Methodology
The chosen treatment involved tomotherapy, coupled with an advanced AI-based tool known as Synchrony. This tool utilises gold fiducial markers inserted into the prostate to track movements of the bladder and rectum during treatment. This precision approach ensures that the radiation is accurately delivered to the cancerous area.
Radiation Therapy Process
The patient underwent successful treatment over five days, receiving a well-calibrated dosage of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). This method is designed to maximise treatment efficacy while minimising side effects.
Patient Experience
The patient, Lawrence from Bangalore, shares his experience at the hospital. Initially experiencing health issues, he sought treatment and was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He noted that the doctors used gold markers to pinpoint the cancer’s location and assess its spread.
Positive Outcomes
Lawrence expressed satisfaction with the treatment he received, highlighting the lack of fatigue typically associated with radiation therapy. He praised Dr. Sanjay and the hospital staff for their attentive care throughout the process, frequently checking in on his condition and addressing any concerns he had.
Conclusion
Lawrence extended his gratitude to Dr. Sanjay, the hospital, and all staff members for their exceptional care and support during his treatment journey. The combination of advanced technology and compassionate care significantly contributed to his positive experience.
