About Dr. S. Usha
Professional summary
Dr. S. Usha is a Radiation Oncologist at Rela Hospital, Chennai, with more than 14 years of experience. Her work with solid tumors has a particular focus on breast and gynecologic cancers, including cancers of the cervix, vagina and vulva.
Her radiation oncology expertise includes brachytherapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy, image-guided radiation therapy and total body irradiation. Within brachytherapy she has experience with intracavitary applications and implants, techniques that place the radiation source in or close to the treatment area. That is directly relevant to her gynecologic practice, where brachytherapy often forms part of the radiation plan rather than an optional addition to it. Her practice also extends to hormone therapy for breast cancer and for gynecologic cancers, so the systemic and radiation sides of treatment can be considered together.
Dr. Usha completed both her MBBS and her Diploma in Medical Radiotherapy at Madras Medical College in Chennai. She later completed a course in palliative medicine through the Indian Association of Palliative Care, and that training complements her radiotherapy practice by supporting symptom-focused care for people with advanced illness.
She practises in the Cancer Centre and Radiation Oncology Department at Rela Institute & Medical Centre in Chennai, where her listed specialisations cover both radiation oncology and medical oncology.

- A named clinical question: curative, adjuvant, salvage or symptom control.
Questions to ask
- Where will simulation and daily treatment take place, and is that the same campus as the consultation?
- Which technique is planned, and why not an alternative already documented on GAF’s cost guides?
- Who owns follow-up after you return home, and what is sent back to the referring team?
- What is the written estimate for the planned course — separate from any consultation fee?
