The MD Radiotherapy program encompasses a comprehensive curriculum designed to equip students with in-depth knowledge and practical skills in the field of cancer treatment through radiation therapy techniques. The syllabus covers a diverse range of subjects, starting with a foundation in basic medical sciences, including anatomy, physiology, and pathology relevant to radiotherapy. Students delve into the molecular biology of cancer to understand its underlying mechanisms. Radiation physics and radiobiology are integral components, focusing on the principles governing the interaction between radiation and biological tissues, as well as ensuring the safe and effective delivery of radiation therapy. Various advanced techniques are explored, including external beam radiotherapy (EBRT), brachytherapy, stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT). Students also gain expertise in intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton therapy, staying abreast of the latest technological advancements in the field.
