Nagpur, 21 September 2025 – AOI Nangia Specialty Hospital today announced the launch of its state-of-the-art Brachytherapy services at the AOI Oncology Conclave 2025, marking another milestone in its mission to provide comprehensive, world-class cancer care in Central India.

Already equipped with advanced radiation machines like Halcyon and TrueBeam, AOI Nangia Specialty Hospital delivers highly precise external beam radiation therapy. With the addition of Brachytherapy, the hospital now completes the entire spectrum of radiation treatments under one roof—offering patients quick, precise, affordable, and high-quality cancer care closer to home.

What is Brachytherapy?

Brachytherapy is a targeted form of radiation therapy in which a radioactive source is placed inside or near the tumour. This allows doctors to deliver high doses of radiation directly to cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. It is highly effective for cancers of the cervix, uterus, prostate, breast, and certain head & neck cancers, with the added advantage of reducing overall treatment time.

Leadership Voices

Mr. Dileep Mangsuli, Chairman, CTSI Group, said:

At AOI, our mission has always been to bridge the gap between advanced cancer care and affordability. With the launch of Brachytherapy in Nagpur, we are bringing one of the most precise and effective radiation treatments closer to patients in Central India. This technology not only improves treatment accuracy but also reduces side effects and overall treatment time, which directly translates into a better quality of life for our patients. Our vision is to ensure that no patient has to travel long distances or face financial hardship to access cutting-edge oncology services. The addition of Brachytherapy at AOI Nangia Specialty Hospital is a step forward in making world-class cancer treatment both accessible and compassionate.

Mr. Mahesh Nangia, Promoter of Nangia Specialty Hospital, said:
