Fighting Cancer with Accuracy, Technology & Compassion
At Onco-Lifecare Cancer Centre, Chiplun, we are committed to delivering advanced radiation therapy that combines precision, safety, and patient comfort. Our Radiation Oncology Unit provides External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT) using some of the most sophisticated technology available globally. This form of treatment is a key component in the fight against cancer—non-invasive, highly targeted, and proven to deliver strong outcomes.
External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
Advanced, Focused Cancer Treatment with the Elekta Synergy™ LINAC
External Beam Radiation Therapy uses a high-energy radiation beam directed at the tumour from outside the body. At Onco-Lifecare Cancer Centre, Chiplun, we use the state-of-the-art Elekta Synergy™ Linear Accelerator (LINAC), which allows us to deliver highly targeted radiation doses with more than 99% precision.
The machine is designed to focus the beam only on the cancerous area, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue and reducing the risk of long-term side effects.
Radiation therapy is typically delivered 5 days a week, over a span of 1 to 8 weeks, depending on the type and stage of cancer. Each session is quick and painless, usually lasting 10–20 minutes, and does not require hospital admission.
Key Technologies & Treatment Approaches We Use
- 3D-CRT (3-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy): Custom-shaped beams match the tumour’s shape for enhanced precision.
- IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy): Delivers variable doses to different parts of the tumour, allowing higher accuracy and protection for nearby organs.
- VMAT (Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy): Advanced technology that rotates around the patient to treat the tumour from multiple angles quickly and accurately.
- IGRT (Image-Guided Radiation Therapy): Real-time imaging helps the doctor adjust positioning for each session to improve effectiveness.
- SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy) & SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery): High-dose radiation delivered in fewer sessions—often used for small, well-defined tumours in the brain, lungs, liver, or spine.
- TBI (Total Body Irradiation): Used for certain blood cancers, usually before bone marrow transplants.
- Breath-Hold Techniques (DIBH): Especially useful in treating left-sided breast cancer and lung cancer, reducing radiation exposure to the heart and lungs.
- Electron Beam Therapy: Effective for treating superficial tumours, such as skin cancers or breast scars.

Onco-life uses highly advanced Elekta Synergy with Agility
The Modalities available are:
- 3-D Conformal radiation therapy with 6D Couch, delivers a high radiation dose to tumours but safeguards healthy tissue.
- Image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), involves using a variety of digital imaging techniques to pinpoint the exact location of a targeted tumour while the patient is in the treatment position and just prior to delivering the treatment.
- Cone-beam Computed Tomography Systems (CBCT): are a variation of traditional computed tomography (CT) systems. The CBCT systems used to rotate around the patient, capturing data using a cone-shaped X-ray beam
- Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), is a revolutionary new modality in which radiation beams are shaped by 160 collimator leaves (Fingers) that wraps the radiation dose around a tumour, thus sparing healthy tissue.
- Volumetric Arc Therapy (VMAT): Technology which gives dose distribution similar to IMRT but delivers treatment in shorter duration.
- Stereo-tactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT): for Lung tumours, Total Body irradiation, for the treatment of patients with leukaemia and lymphoma in preparation for bone marrow and stem cell transplantation.
- Stereotactic Radiotherapy (SRS): combines 3D imaging with multiple, highly-focused x-rays beamed at a tumour from different angles. Treatment machines automatically adjust for the motion of your breathing; making sure the beams precisely target a tumour and leave surrounding, healthy tissue untouched. Particularly effective for treating small, well-defined tumours in inoperable or surgically risky locations such as the brain and spine.
