Advanced Radiation Therapy for Hepatobiliary Cancer

Dr. Charu Garg utilizes advanced radiation technologies to deliver highly precise treatment for hepatobiliary cancers while protecting healthy liver tissue and surrounding organs.

SBRT

Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy delivers high-dose radiation with exceptional precision for selected liver and hepatobiliary tumors.

IMRT

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy precisely targets tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to nearby healthy organs.

IGRT

Image Guided Radiation Therapy uses advanced imaging before each treatment session for accurate radiation delivery.

RapidArc Therapy

RapidArc Therapy delivers radiation quickly and accurately with continuous beam rotation for improved treatment precision.

Tomotherapy

Tomotherapy combines CT-guided imaging with advanced radiation delivery for complex hepatobiliary cancer treatment.

3D-Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT)

3D-CRT shapes radiation beams to match the tumor while helping protect healthy liver tissue and nearby structures.

Risk Factors

Several factors may increase the risk of hepatobiliary cancers, including:

Chronic Hepatitis B infection
Chronic Hepatitis C infection
Liver cirrhosis
Fatty liver disease
Diabetes
Obesity
Smoking
Excessive alcohol consumption
Family history of liver cancer
Gallstones and chronic gallbladder inflammation
