Section of Radiation Oncology
Department of Oncology
The Section of Radiation Oncology at The Aga Khan University Hospital provides specialised radiotherapeutic management for a wide range of malignancies.
Radiation oncologists work within a multidisciplinary tumour framework alongside medical oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and supportive care teams to determine appropriate treatment sequencing and delivery. Radiation therapy is used as a primary, adjuvant, or palliative modality depending on tumour type and stage.
Treatment planning is conducted using advanced imaging and precision techniques to deliver carefully calculated doses of high-energy radiation, targeting malignant tissue while minimising exposure to surrounding structures. Therapy is administered within established safety protocols and quality assurance standards.
The Section plays an integral role in comprehensive cancer care, supporting both curative and symptom-directed treatment pathways.
As part of a quaternary-care academic medical centre, the Section contributes to clinical training, research, and the advancement of radiation oncology practice.
