The Department of Radiation Oncology is committed to providing expert, compassionate care in a state-of-the-art facility. Our team of skilled radiation oncologists specializes in treating a wide range of cancers and benign conditions using advanced radiation therapies. We prioritize patient access, scheduling newly diagnosed individuals within seven to 14 days, and in some cases, within 72 hours for urgent needs. Through close collaboration with multidisciplinary teams across the hospital, we ensure personalized, comprehensive care for every patient.
