RCC Rohtak especially department of radiation therapy, pgims is the apex centre which take care of the whole cancer burden in the state of Haryana.. the centre boasts about a wide patient drainage from Calcutta to Afghanistan and Nepal.
Cancer management has come a whole loong way from just chemotherapeutic agent to even monoclonal antibodies,, and our centre is proud to say that we have been upto date with all these latest modalities..
Academic activities including cancer education among students as well as patients are in full swing especially with the CANCER DAY as well as the up-to date seminar sessions..
GLAD THAT YOUVE MANAGED TO CATCH IT ALL ... DR ANIL... great!!
Hi Dr Anil,
Really a Great work. Nice presentation of the department of Radiation Oncology. There is still an unsaid volume of goodness and quality in the department that can only be experienced while being among the gentle and talented doctors out there, whether in patient dealing, treatment, academics or extra-curricular activities.
Thumbs up to you!
