Radiation treatment is an extremely specialised treatment for prostate cancer patients. Dr Indu Bansal, Director and Senior Consultant - Radiation and Oncology Department at Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Gurugram explains how to plan a radiation treatment for prostate cancer.
To begin, the radiation oncologist describes the complete treatment protocol to the patient, as well as the necessary pre-treatment preparations. Only after open communication with the patient can the therapy be planned.
These are the steps that determine the entire process:
The doctor will provide medications the night before to ensure ideal unobstructed movements before the therapy.
After that, patients are asked to urinate and empty their bladder.
The doctor then implants a cannula and give the patient an immobilisation mask to prevent movement.
The doctor will then conduct a battery of tests to identify the cancer region for therapy.
The surrounding areas that will not be treated, such as the bladder, intestines, and urethra, will also be marked for protection from the radiation side effects.
The doctor's team then decides on the region’s precise position and trajectory of the rays to perform a focused treatment.
The planning process might take up to two days, after which the same treatment gets repeated for a few days. The patient is given specific food recommendations during the treatment.
