About Dr. Dodul Mondal
Dr. Dodul Mondal is a specialist who treats cancer using radiation therapy—high-energy beams precisely targeted to destroy cancer cells while protecting nearby healthy tissue as much as possible.
A strong radiation oncology plan is not only about “giving radiation.” It involves:
- Accurate staging and imaging review
- Careful treatment planning (dose, angles, safety margins)
- Coordinating with surgical and medical oncology teams
- Side-effect prevention and supportive care
- Follow-up and response assessment
This is where experience in precision radiation becomes especially important for cancers close to sensitive organs (brain, spinal cord, head & neck region, prostate, etc.).
Quick overview
- Name: Dr. Dodul Mondal
- Specialty: Radiation Oncologist (Cancer Radiation Specialist)
- Hospital: Indraprastha Apollo Hospital, Delhi, India
- Experience: 14+ years (as provided)

Conditions treated
Radiation therapy can be part of treatment for many cancers. Based on the information provided, Dr. Dodul Mondal commonly treats cases such as:
- Head & neck cancers
- Brain tumors and select functional/vascular abnormalities near the brain
- Breast cancer
- Cervical and uterine cancers
- Prostate tumors / prostate cancer
- Lung cancer
- Gastrointestinal cancers (including rectal cancer)
- Liver and pancreas tumors
- Kidney tumors
- Spine tumors
- Thyroid cancer
- Eye cancers (in select situations)
Radiation may be recommended:
- Before surgery (to shrink tumor)
- After surgery (to reduce recurrence risk)
- Along with chemotherapy (combined treatment)
- As definitive therapy when surgery isn’t suitable
For symptom relief (pain, bleeding, pressure symptoms)
Advanced radiation procedures & techniques
IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy)
IMRT is an advanced form of external beam radiation that shapes the radiation dose to the tumor more precisely than older techniques.
Why IMRT is used:
- Tumors near critical structures (salivary glands, spinal cord, bowel, bladder)
- When side-effect reduction is a major priority
- Complex tumor shapes that require dose sculpting
Common cancers where IMRT is considered:
Head & neck cancers, prostate cancer, gynecologic cancers, and certain GI tumors.
SRT (Stereotactic Radiotherapy)
SRT delivers highly focused radiation with exceptional precision—often used for small targets or lesions where accuracy is crucial.
Where SRT may be useful:
- Selected brain tumors or metastases
- Certain spine lesions
- Small, well-defined targets where tight margins are needed
Your team will decide eligibility based on imaging, size/location of tumor, and overall treatment plan.
Precision planning and safety
One of the most important parts of radiation treatment is planning. It may include:
- CT simulation (planning scan)
- MRI/PET fusion for better targeting (when required)
- Immobilization devices for reproducible positioning
- Dose constraints to protect organs-at-risk (OAR)
Even though radiation is effective, it can irritate healthy tissues. A careful plan helps minimize:
- mucositis (mouth/throat soreness)
- skin reactions
- bowel/bladder irritation
- fatigue
dryness or swallowing difficulty (head/neck cases)

What to expect in your first consultation
A good first visit is usually a mix of medical review + planning the next step. Here’s how to prepare.
Reports to bring (best practice)
Bring printed and digital copies (CD/pen drive) of:
- Biopsy / histopathology report
- PET-CT / CT / MRI (latest)
- Treatment summary (if you already had surgery/chemo)
- Blood reports (CBC, kidney/liver tests if available)
- Discharge summary (if hospitalized)
Questions worth asking
- What is the goal of radiation in my case (curative vs preventive vs symptom control)?
- Which technique is recommended (IMRT/SRT/other) and why?
- How many sessions are typical for my plan?
- What side effects are most likely for my site, and how can I prevent them?
- Will I need chemotherapy along with radiation?
Pitfalls to avoid
- Delaying staging scans (it can change the plan)
- Starting supplements/herbal products without telling your oncologist
- Missing radiation sessions (consistency matters)
- Not managing nutrition early (especially head/neck and GI cases)
