Radiation Oncology

“As the Head of the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Cancer Institute (WIA), Adyar, it is my privilege to share our vision and commitment to the communities we serve. For over seven decades, the Cancer Institute has stood as a beacon of hope—championing equitable, compassionate, evidence-based cancer care for every individual, irrespective of background or circumstance. Today, as cancer care grows more sophisticated, our mission remains clear: to deliver world-class radiation therapy rooted in scientific rigor, supported by advanced technology, and delivered with the utmost empathy. Our team of clinicians, physicists, technologists, and nurses work with a shared purpose—to provide safe, precise, and personalised treatments that improve outcomes while preserving quality of life. We are equally committed to continuous learning, training the next generation of oncologists, advancing research, and collaborating with national and international partners to raise the standards of cancer care in India. Our work is strengthened by the trust and support of our patients, caregivers, donors, and institutional stakeholders, to whom we remain deeply grateful. As we look ahead, we reaffirm our dedication to innovation, integrity, and patient-centric care. Together, we can build a future where every patient has access to timely, high-quality cancer treatment and the confidence that they are never alone in their journey”
