India achieved its first advanced cancer treatment system, called the Eulta Unity MR Linnak, which combines real -time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with accurate radiation therapy.

Currently, the machine being installed in Yashoda Medicity in Ghaziabad is also the first place in the country to include a comprehensive motion management (CMM), which is a feature that improves accuracy by tracking the slightest body movement during treatment.

In simple terms, this system combines two important characteristics: an MRI scanner (which shows clear pictures inside the body) and a radiation machine (which targets and kills cancer cells).

The machine tracks small movements into the body when treating cancer. This means that if a patient walks or breathes, the machine is adjusted in real time, so radiation still hits the right place.

This allows doctors to optimize radiation doses on a daily basis based on changes in a patient’s anatomy. The result is a better targeting of cancer cells while protecting the surrounding organs.

Because it uses MRI instead of regular CT scans, it gives very clear images, especially of soft tissues such as organs.

Doctors can change the treatment plan every day, based on how the patient’s body is reacting.

This makes the treatment more accurate, safe and sharp, especially for people with small tumors or for those who require radiation more than once.

The Eulta Unity system uses a high-resolution of 1.5 Tesla MRI scanner to provide clear, real-time images of healthy tissue around the system tumor and surrounding healthy tissues.

It is particularly useful for the treatment of small tumors, lymph nodes and such cases where patients have to undergo radiation more than once.

The machine also supports hypo-factrated treatment, providing high doses in low sessions, which makes the process faster and more comfortable for patients.

“This is a transformative step in cancer care. Now we can personalize each radiation session in real time, improve results and reduce side effects,” Dr. Yashoda Medicity Managing Director Dr.. Upasana Arora said.

The new system also enables remote treatment scheme. Doctors can review and approval the patient’s plans from anywhere, improving speed and flexibility.

It also determines the stage for future approaches such as biology-directed radiotherapy (BGRT), which aims to personalize treatment based on biological signs such as gene expression.

Vice Chairman in Yashoda Medicity and head of radiation and oncology, Dr. Gagan Saini said that technology is one time joint, given that more than 1.4 million new cancer cases occur in India every year.

“This Sri Linac ensures rapid, safe and more accurate treatment, especially for patients with the need to repeat repeat,” he said.

Once operational, the Electa Unity Mr. Linak is expected to set a new benchmark for cancer care in India.
