Welcome to RCC Rohtak

About Regional Cancer Centre Rohtak

Medical College and Hospital Rohtak was established in 1960 in joint Collaboration with Medical College Patiala and later shifted to Rohtak in 1963. On 1st April 1995 it was upgraded to Pt. BDS Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences Rohtak. The Department of Radiation Oncology came into existence in the year 1977. On 7th Dec 1977 this institution got its first fully rotational Theratron 765 cobalt teletherapy unit. The new building of Regional Cancer Centre has been inaugurated on 20th Dec 1988.

In 1990s this institution got another cobalt tele-therapy machine, facility for intracavitary brachytherapy and other equipment required for a full-fledged radiotherapy department. This institute has been upgraded into Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) under National Cancer Control Programme by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India in 1999. The planning of all the patients receiving Radiotherapy is done through Simulator CT machine, which is in existence from 10th Sept 1999. Theratron 765 was replaced by our state of art telecobalt Theratron 780E machine on 8th August 2005. Regional Cancer Centre is equipped with Microselectron Brachytherapy unit, which was commissioned on 12th Feb 2005. The Theratron 780C machine was replaced by Theratron Equinox-80 which started functioning on 18^th May 2009 and another new Equinox-80 machine was installed, which started functioning on 17^th Sept 2012 raising the strength of telecobalt machines to three units. Our department is having a competent team of Radiation Oncologists, Physicists and dedicated residents.

Equipment & Manpower
The planning of all the patients receiving Radiotherapy is done through Simulator CT machine, which is in existence from 10th Sept 1999 but presently under upgradation. A 3-Dimensional radiation treatment planning computer ASHA-TPS is being used in the department for accurate calculation of the dose. The Department is having a dedicated faculty and six MD Radiotherapy students are being trained every year. Ninety five percent of the patients are receiving their radiotherapy treatment free of cost and brachytherapy treatment is provided entirely free of cost to all the needy patients. 

 

Salient Features
• Tertiary Care Cancer Centre in Haryana providing modern facilities for Radiotherapy under one roof.
• Recognized as Regional Cancer Centre by Govt. of India in 1999.
• Three tele-therapy machines for patient treatments have been procured for cancer patients.
• One modern remote control Brachytherapy machine (Micro-selectron HDR*) for providing state of the art computer controlled Brachytherapy with in few minutes with high dose rate.*Under Condemnation, new machine is in pipeline.
• 95% of patients are getting treatment free of cost.
• State of the art three dimensional radiation treatment planning computer system is being used for accurate radiation treatment planning.

State of Art Equinox

From Bhomi Poojan to Inauguration
Medical College and Hospital Rohtak was established in 1960 in joint Collaboration with Medical College Patiala and later shifted to Rohtak in 1963. On 1st April 1995 it was upgraded to Pt BDS Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences Rohtak. The Department of Radiation Oncology came into existence in the year 1977. On 7th Dec 1977 this institution got its first fully rotational Theratron 765 cobalt teletherapy unit. The new building of Regional Cancer Centre has been inaugurated on 20th Dec 1988.

In 1990s this institution got another cobalt teletherpy machine, facility for intracavitary brachytherapy and other equipment required for a full fledged radiotherapy department. This institute has been upgraded into Regional Cancer Centre (RCC) under National Cancer Control Programme by Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Govt. of India in 1999. The planning of all the patients receiving Radiotherapy is done through Simulator CT machine, which is in existence from 10th Sept 1999. Theratron 765 was replaced by our state of art telecobalt Theratron 780E machine on 8th August 2005. Regional Cancer Centre is equipped with Microselectron Brachytherpy unit, which was commissioned on 12th Feb 2005. Our department is having a competent team of Radiation Oncologists, Physicists and dedicated residents.

Various Sections of Radiotherapy Department

Out Patient Department (OPD): Radiotherapy department runs daily OPD. Here new and old cancer patients on follow up are managed.
Teletherapy section: The department has three Cobalt-60 teletherapy machines. Here, a beam of radiation emitted from the above mentioned machines treats patients.

Brachytherapy section: The department has state of the art HDR Brachytherapy facilities commissioned in January 2005. Here patients are treated by placing radiation source directly inside the tumor. At present all Oncologists consider Brachytherapy as a very important modality of treatment for cancer. Therefore, Brachytherapy itself is a separate branch of Radiation Oncology/Radiotherapy Department.
Chemotherapy section: Here cancer patients are daily treated by chemotherapy/biologic therapy on OPD and indoor basis.
Radiotherapy Simulator: Here radiation field placement is done to ensure the accuracy of the teletherapy and image acquisition is done to know the spatial position of applicators in Brachytherapy. This ensures precision and accurate radiation treatment.
