Dr. Anil Kumar Anand

Senior Director & HOD – Radiation Oncology

Dr. Anil Kumar Anand is a titan in the field of Radiation Oncology with over 32 years of clinical and research mastery. He is globally recognized for pioneering the use of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) in India and for his specialized work in Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) for recurrent cancers. His status as an empanelled expert for the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations (UN) reflects his international standing as a top-tier authority in cancer care.

Dr. Anil Kumar Anand is celebrated for transforming radiation therapy from a generalized treatment into a sub-millimeter precision tool that spares healthy tissue.

Global Advisor & Expert: He is one of the few Indian oncologists empanelled as a recommended doctor by both the WHO and UNO. He serves as a critical advisor to international scientific bodies, shaping global protocols for radiation safety and efficacy.
Pioneer of IMRT: Dr. Anand led the group that pioneered IMRT (Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) in India. This technology revolutionized cancer care by allowing higher radiation doses to be delivered to tumors while significantly reducing side effects to surrounding organs.
Elite International Fellowships: He holds a prestigious Commonwealth Fellowship from Middlesex Hospital, London, and a Nargis Dutt Foundation Fellowship from the New York Hospital Medical Centre of Queens (Cornell University), bringing elite Western clinical standards to his practice in India.
Specialist in Recurrent Cancers: He is a leader in using SBRT to treat cancers that have returned after previous radiation, providing a second chance at a cure for patients who were previously considered “untreatable.”

Dr. Anand specializes in the high-precision management of both solid tumors and blood-related malignancies.

Conditions & Diseases Treated:

Head & Neck Cancers: Oral cavity, thyroid, and complex skull-base tumors.
Breast & Thoracic Cancers: Lung cancer and mediastinal tumors with heart-sparing techniques.
Genitourinary Cancers: High-precision management of Prostate and Bladder cancers.
Gynaecological Cancers: Cervical and Uterine malignancies.
Gastrointestinal (GI) Cancers: Esophageal, Stomach, and Pancreatic cancers.
Brain Tumors: Gliomas, Meningiomas, and metastatic brain disease.

Advanced Radiation Procedures:

SBRT & SRS: Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy and Radiosurgery for “knife-less” tumor removal.
IMRT & IGRT: Advanced 3D mapping and real-time image guidance during radiation.
Intraoperative Brachytherapy: Delivering radiation directly into the tumor bed during surgery.
Respiratory Gating: Synchronizing radiation with the patient’s breathing cycle to protect moving organs (like the lungs and heart).
Bone Marrow Transplant Support: Providing total body irradiation (TBI) for BMT candidates.
