Radiotherapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy cancer cells, either from a machine outside the body (external) or from a source placed inside the body (internal).

The NHS describes external radiotherapy, delivered as beams from a machine and leaving no radioactivity in the body, and internal radiotherapy using implants or radioactive liquids, which may involve a short admission.

Radiotherapy may aim to cure a cancer, help other treatment work, lower the risk of it returning or ease symptoms, and separate pages cover IMRT, IGRT, stereotactic radiosurgery and proton therapy.

The NHS names tiredness, sore or darkened skin, hair loss in the treated area, sickness and a sore mouth, depending on the area treated.

Most effects settle once treatment has finished.

Flying home: whether you can travel between treatments or after finishing depends on blood counts and side effects, and the oncologist will advise on dates.

A Gurgaon quote for radiotherapy is normally made up of these items:

• Scans to plan treatment: carried out before the first session.
• How many cycles or sessions: the main factor in the total.
• Drug or technique: medicine brand and dose, or the radiotherapy method.
• Type: external or internal.
• Technique: including IMRT or IGRT.
• Sessions: one to a number of weeks.
• Planning: scans and immobilisation.

Radiotherapy is priced per course, so confirm that the Gurgaon estimate names planning scans, every session, imaging checks and doctor reviews.

Cancer care in Gurgaon is usually organised by hospital oncology departments in which medical, radiation and surgical oncologists review each case together at a tumour board.

NABH, the hospital accreditation board of the Quality Council of India whose standards carry ISQua accreditation, sets the national benchmark for hospitals, and its online directory shows whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is still current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.

International patients apply online for India's e-Medical visa, and up to two family members can usually travel on e-Medical Attendant visas; confirm the current rules on the official Indian visa portal.
