Overview: One of the greatest challenges of using radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer is to deliver the highest possible dose to the malignant tissue and, at the same time, ensure that normal tissues closest to the tumor receive the lowest possible dose. Medical centers with radiation therapy departments face this challenge, but the situation can be more serious at dedicated oncology centers due to the fact that a majority of patients with advanced cancer or complex malignancies are referred to these types of centers more often than they are to hospitals. The Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute (RGCI), a dedicated oncology center in New Delhi, India, is one of the few medical centers in the country to have Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) technology from Siemens Medical Solutions.
