Patient-Centred Oncology
An Individualised Approach to Cancer Treatment
Cancer treatment can involve more than one type of therapy.
Treatment selection depends on the cancer type, stage,
pathology, molecular or other relevant clinical findings,
previous treatment and the patient's overall health.
Dr. Vivek's medical oncology role is to assess these factors
and help determine which systemic treatment approaches may
be appropriate.
Understand the Cancer
Review the diagnosis, pathology, imaging and other
relevant clinical information before treatment decisions
are made.
Personalise the Treatment Plan
Consider the patient's cancer characteristics, previous
treatment, overall health and treatment goals when
evaluating systemic therapies.
Coordinate Cancer Care
Medical oncology may need to work alongside surgical
oncology, radiation oncology, pathology and other
specialists as part of multidisciplinary care.

About Dr. S. D. Shamsundar
Precision Radiation Oncology Focused on the Individual Patient
Dr. S. D. Shamsundar is a Consultant Radiation Oncologist
in Bangalore with specialist training in Radiation Oncology
and additional fellowship training in stereotactic radiation
techniques. His practice focuses on personalised radiation
treatment planning and the integration of radiotherapy into
the wider cancer treatment pathway.
About Dr. S. D. Shamsundar
Dr. S. D. Shamsundar is a Consultant Radiation Oncologist
associated with Precision Oncology Clinic in Vijayanagar,
Bangalore. His specialist practice is centred on radiation
oncology and the use of carefully planned radiotherapy for
selected cancer conditions.
He completed his MBBS at M. S. Ramaiah Medical College and
subsequently completed an MD in Radiation Oncology at King
George Medical University, Lucknow.
He has also undertaken advanced fellowship training in
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body
Radiation Therapy (SBRT), developing additional expertise
in highly focused radiation treatment for appropriately
selected clinical situations.
His clinical expertise includes modern radiation techniques
such as Image Guided Radiation Therapy, Intensity Modulated
Radiation Therapy, Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy,
stereotactic radiation and brachytherapy.
Clinical Focus
Expertise in Modern Radiation Oncology
Radiation treatment is planned according to the cancer type,
location, stage, treatment intent and surrounding healthy
structures. Different techniques may be appropriate for
different patients.
RT
Radiation Oncology
Assessment of whether radiation therapy should form part
of an individual cancer treatment plan, including its role
before or after other treatments where clinically
appropriate.
IG
Image-Guided Radiation
Image-guided techniques can help verify treatment
positioning and improve the accuracy of radiation delivery
during a treatment course.
IM
Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy
IMRT uses advanced treatment planning to shape radiation
dose around the target while considering nearby normal
tissues.
VM
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy
VMAT is an advanced radiation delivery approach that uses
rotating treatment arcs to deliver a planned radiation
dose efficiently.
SR
SRS & SBRT
Stereotactic techniques deliver highly focused radiation
for selected clinical situations where precision and
appropriate patient selection are important.
BR
Brachytherapy
Brachytherapy delivers radiation from a source positioned
within or close to the treatment area and may be used for
selected cancers.
Patient-Centred Radiation Care
Radiation Treatment Planned Around the Patient
No single radiation technique is appropriate for every
patient. Treatment selection depends on the diagnosis,
tumour characteristics, treatment intent, previous treatment,
nearby organs and the patient's overall health. Dr. Shamsundar
works within a multidisciplinary oncology approach when
radiation needs to be integrated with surgery or systemic
treatment.
Understand the Diagnosis
Review pathology, imaging, staging and other relevant
clinical information before deciding whether radiation
therapy has a role.
Plan the Treatment Precisely
Treatment planning considers the target area, radiation
dose, treatment technique and nearby organs that may need
protection.
Coordinate With the Cancer Team
Radiation treatment may be coordinated with surgical
oncology, medical oncology, radiology and pathology
depending on the individual cancer.
