Dr. Shanu Jain is a highly skilled and experienced radiation oncologist with over 11 years of experience, practicing at HCG NCHRI Cancer Centre, Nagpur.
Her primary interest lies in managing cancers using advanced radiotherapy techniques. Her expertise lies in the following areas:
All high-precision external radiation techniques like 3DCRT, IMRT, IGRT, VMAT (Rapid Arc), SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery), SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy), 4DCT respiratory gating, breath-hold technique, etc.
Brachytherapy (intracavitary, interstitial, and intraluminal)
Radiation therapy in all solid tumors, like:
Head and neck cancers – cancers of the oral cavity, oropharynx, larynx, hypopharynx, and paranasal sinuses
Breast cancer
Gynaecological cancers – cancers of the cervix, uterus, vagina, and vulva
Brain tumors – high-grade, low-grade, and benign tumors
Lung cancer
Gastrointestinal cancers – cancers of the esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gall bladder, and rectum.
Urogenital cancers – cancers of the prostate and bladder
