IGRT (image-guided radiotherapy) is a positioning step in radiotherapy: scans or X-rays taken before each session line the beams up with where the tumour sits that day.

IGRT is not a separate kind of radiation but is added to techniques such as IMRT, so ask the centre which technique your plan uses.

Cancer Research UK explains that checking the position at every session allows narrower safety margins around tumours that can shift, such as those in the prostate, bladder or lungs.

The NHS notes that side effects depend on the area treated and commonly include tiredness and skin changes, most of which settle after treatment.

The imaging adds only a few minutes to each appointment.

Fit-to-fly window: flying between cycles or after a course depends on blood counts and side effects, so the oncology team advises on timing.

A Delhi estimate for IGRT is usually built from these parts:

• Planning scans: before treatment begins.
• Cycles or sessions: which set most of the total.
• Drugs or technique: medicine brand, dose or radiation method.
• Imaging method: X-ray, cone beam CT or markers.
• Main technique: such as IMRT.
• Course length: number of sessions.
• Cancer site: planning complexity.

Radiotherapy is priced per course, so check that the Delhi quote lists planning scans, every session, imaging checks and doctor reviews.

Cancer treatment in Delhi NCR is organised through hospital oncology departments that bring medical, radiation and surgical oncologists together, often in a tumour board review.

India's national hospital standard is set by the National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), a constituent board of the Quality Council of India whose standards are accredited by ISQua; you can check a Delhi hospital's current NABH status on the NABH website.

Delhi has a long record with international accreditation: India's first hospital to receive Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation, in July 2005, is in New Delhi, and JCI keeps a public list of accredited organisations.

Ask the hospital's international patient desk, where one exists, whether it provides the hospital letter for the e-Medical visa application, airport pickup, interpreters and help with nearby accommodation.
