Neuro Oncology is a specialized field of cancer care focused on the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, spinal cord tumors, and cancers affecting the central nervous system (CNS). These conditions require advanced imaging, precise treatment planning, and a multidisciplinary approach to preserve neurological function while effectively controlling the disease.
At Dr. Charu Garg's Radiation Oncology Practice, patients receive personalized neuro oncology care using advanced radiation therapy techniques such as SRS, SBRT, IMRT, IGRT, RapidArc, and Tomotherapy. With over 25+ years of experience, Dr. Charu Garg provides evidence-based treatment designed to maximize tumor control while protecting healthy brain and spinal tissues.
Neuro Oncology is the branch of oncology that focuses on the treatment of tumors involving the brain, spinal cord, meninges, cranial nerves, and central nervous system.
Neuro Oncology includes tumors of the brain, spinal cord, meninges, cranial nerves, and central nervous system, each requiring specialized evaluation and treatment.
Treatment depends on the type, size, location, and grade of the tumor and may include radiation therapy, surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these approaches.
Symptoms vary depending on the location and size of the tumor but may include:
Dr. Charu Garg uses modern radiation technologies to provide accurate treatment while protecting healthy brain tissue and surrounding critical structures, helping achieve optimal treatment outcomes.
SRS delivers highly focused, high-dose radiation to brain tumors with exceptional precision while protecting surrounding healthy tissue.
Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy precisely targets brain and nervous system tumors while minimizing radiation exposure to nearby healthy structures.
Image Guided Radiation Therapy uses advanced imaging before each treatment session to ensure highly accurate radiation delivery.
RapidArc delivers radiation efficiently with continuous beam rotation, reducing treatment time while maintaining exceptional precision.
Tomotherapy combines CT-guided imaging with advanced radiation delivery for accurate treatment of complex brain and spinal tumors.
3D-CRT shapes radiation beams to conform to the tumor while minimizing radiation exposure to healthy brain tissue.
SBRT may be used in selected cases where highly precise, high-dose radiation is appropriate for specific tumors.
Although the exact cause of many brain tumors is unknown, certain factors may increase the risk, including:
A thorough evaluation is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Dr. Charu Garg has more than 24 years of experience in Radiation Oncology and extensive expertise in treating brain and central nervous system tumors using advanced radiation technologies and personalized treatment plans.
Neuro Oncology is the medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors, spinal tumors, and cancers affecting the nervous system.
Yes. Advanced radiation therapy plays an important role in treating both primary brain tumors and brain metastases.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) is a highly precise, non-invasive radiation treatment used for selected brain tumors and neurological conditions.
Yes. Depending on the tumor type and location, radiation therapy may be used as the primary treatment or in combination with surgery and chemotherapy.
Dr. Charu Garg utilizes advanced technologies including IMRT, IGRT, SRS, RapidArc, Tomotherapy, and 3D-Conformal Radiation Therapy (3D-CRT) to provide highly accurate treatment.
