Tata Memorial Hospital
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Will Flag Off A Cancer Therapy Project In The City On Friday.
He Will Lay The Foundation Stone For The Rs 450-Crore Hadron Therapy Centre For The Tata Memorial Centre In Parel To Provide Focused Radiation Therapy To Cancer Patients. He Will Also Lay The Foundation Stone For A New Building For Women And Paediatric Cancer Patients.
Both Projects Will Come Up On A Five-Acre Plot In The Haffkine Institute Adjacent To The Tata Memorial Centre. The Plot Was Handed Over To The Cancer Centre By The State Government Last Year.
At The Hadron Therapy Centre, A Machine Will Use Protons Instead Of Photons To Deliver More Precise Beams That Destroy Cancer. "Conventional Radiation Has Several Issues As It Can Destroy Normal Cells Along With The Cancerous Cells, But The Proton Beam Therapy Will Be More Precise And Not Harm Surrounding Tissues, Said Dr Rakesh Jalali Of Tata Memorial Hospitals Radiation Therapy Department.
Hadron Therapy Deposits High Level Of Radiation Critical To Control Aggressive Tumours But It Gives Little Dose To The Non-Cancerous Tissues. India Has Over 450 Conventional Radiation Machines.
The Hadron Centre Will Be The First In The Country. In Fact, The Centre Will Be Among The Half A Dozen Such Centres Across The World.
Dr Rakesh Jalali Of Tata Memorial Hospitals Radiation Therapy Department Said The Machine, Which Requires Such Intense Infrastructure That It Will Take Five Years Before To Be Commissioned, Was Best Used For "Paediatric Cancers, Some Forms Of Abdominal And Head And Neck Cancers".
