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.

Radiotherapy Treatment Planning and Implementation section: For proper radiotherapy planning and dose calculation  Radiotherapy treatment-planning system is used.
Mould room and workshop: In this section patient immobilization devices, shielding devices etc. are made for each patient, which are used during treatment.
Radiotherapy ward: This department has a 60 bedded ward where patients are admitted for radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However all patients admitted in other wards of the hospital are also treated daily in radiotherapy Dept whenever indicated.
