Yashoda Medicity, the new flagship healthcare facility by Yashoda Foundations in Indirapuram, has taken a significant leap in cancer care. By introducing three advanced radiation oncology technologies, it has positioned itself as a regional leader—and the only hospital in Southeast Asia equipped with this level of innovation.
Varian EDGE with HyperArc: Revolutionizing Precision in Radiation Therapy
Yashoda Medicity now offers the Varian EDGE with HyperArc, a system that integrates high-definition imaging with advanced radiation delivery. This technology provides highly targeted therapy, ensuring optimal radiation doses reach the tumour while minimizing exposure to healthy tissue.
HyperArc enhances dose coverage, especially for intracranial treatments, while significantly reducing radiation to nearby organs. The system employs predefined Imaging WayPoints to ensure safe and seamless image acquisition during treatment. Moreover, it allows clinicians to visualize and plan the treatment sequence in advance, eliminating the need for physical dry runs, saving time, and reducing collision risks.
ETHOS with HyperSight and Identity: Adapting to Tumour Changes in Real Time
As reported by expresshealthcare, the second technology, ETHOS with HyperSight and Identity, offers real-time imaging and adaptive treatment planning. This enables clinicians to dynamically align treatment with the tumour’s evolving shape and position throughout the therapy cycle.
ETHOS supports various radiation techniques, including adaptive therapy, IGRT, IMRT, VMAT, and SBRT. Its HyperSight imaging ensures detailed visualisation of anatomical changes and allows for highly accurate dose calculations. Seamless integration with ARIA enhances clinical efficiency with real-time updates and centralised data management.
30-Channel Bravos Brachytherapy: Internal Radiation, External Results
The 30-channel Bravos Brachytherapy system delivers internal radiation therapy directly to cancerous tissues. By providing high-dose radiation from within, it minimizes harm to surrounding healthy areas.
Bravos works in sync with imaging and treatment software, offering real-time feedback and on-the-fly plan adjustments. Its user-friendly interface, automated workflows, and advanced safety checks improve both clinician efficiency and treatment outcomes.
Elekta Unity MR Linac: Real-Time, MRI-Guided Cancer Treatment
In a further technological stride, Yashoda Medicity has introduced the Elekta Unity MR Linac, which combines a 1.5T MRI with a linear accelerator for continuous MRI-guided radiation therapy. This system allows real-time treatment adjustments, especially for difficult-to-treat cancers.
Unity’s GPU-based Monte Carlo dose calculation enables rapid, high-precision dose modeling within a magnetic field. Its virtual leaf width technology and continuous imaging during treatment allow clinicians to reduce margins and tailor therapy, significantly expanding treatment possibilities.
Leadership Speaks: A Vision for Transformative Healthcare
Dr. P.N. Arora, Chairman of Yashoda Super Speciality Hospitals, emphasized:
“At Yashoda Medicity, we are not just building a hospital—we are shaping the future of healthcare. These technologies empower us to deliver world-class cancer treatment with precision and compassion.”
Dr. Upasana Arora, MD/CEO, added:
“This initiative sets new benchmarks in Indian healthcare. With cutting-edge technologies and expert-led care, we ensure each patient receives treatment that is not only effective but deeply personalized.”
Comprehensive Cancer Care Under One Roof
With 635 beds in Phase-1, a 250-bed modular ICU, and 20 modular OTs, Yashoda Medicity is fully equipped to manage a wide range of critical and complex conditions. The hospital offers advanced diagnostics, including X-ray, Ultrasound, MRI, and CT, along with fully equipped operating theatres.
The Yashoda Institute of Cancer Care delivers holistic, disease-specific oncology services, spanning:
- Breast and Gynaecologic Oncology
- Musculoskeletal and Thoracic Oncology
- Gastrointestinal and Hepatopancreaticobiliary Oncology
- Head & Neck, Neuro-, and Uro-Oncology
- Haemato-Oncology, Paediatric Oncology, and Palliative Care
A Future-Focused Approach to Healthcare
Yashoda Medicity is more than just a hospital—it’s a comprehensive health ecosystem integrating research, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. By incorporating global best practices and cutting-edge technologies, it aims to redefine healthcare standards in India.
