Paras Healthcare has launched a radiation oncology facility at its Ranchi hospital. This initiative aims to bridge healthcare gaps in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, making Paras Healthcare Ranchi one of the few centres in Jharkhand to offer comprehensive, end-to-end oncology care—from early diagnosis and medical management to surgical and now advanced radiotherapy.
This milestone is particularly significant for Jharkhand, where cancer incidence has been steadily rising. As per ICMR-NCRP data shared by the Ministry of Health, the number of estimated cancer cases in the state increased from 33,961 in 2020 to 35,860 in 2022.
The Varian Halcyon system, a next-generation radiotherapy platform that delivers precision-targeted treatment for a wide range of cancers. The system improves patient experience with shorter treatment durations, better imaging accuracy, and enhanced safety protocols that adhere to international standards.
The facility also offers multidisciplinary tumour board reviews, personalised treatment planning, and long-term survivorship care. Additionally, Paras Healthcare’s community engagement initiatives include awareness campaigns, free cancer screening camps, and consultation drives focused on promoting early detection and prevention—critical tools in improving cancer outcomes.
