About Dr. Y. Nalini

Dr. Y. Nalini is a Senior Consultant Radiation Oncologist at Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda, in Hyderabad, with over 32 years of specialised clinical experience in radiation oncology. She holds an MD in Radiotherapy from Osmania Medical College and a DNB in Radiotherapy from the National Board of Examinations, both awarded in 1994. Her advanced international training includes a Professional Fellowship in Quality Assurance in HDR Brachytherapy from The Royal Marsden Hospital, London (2000), and a fellowship in Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) and Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) from MD Anderson Cancer Hospital, Houston, USA (2007). These credentials position her among the most accomplished radiation oncologists in the region.

Dr. Nalini specialises in the management of solid tumours using cutting-edge radiation techniques. Her clinical expertise spans intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and advanced brachytherapy including intracavitary and image-guided approaches. She has treated a wide spectrum of malignancies: gastrointestinal cancers, breast cancers, head and neck cancers, gynaecological cancers, brain tumours, and paediatric cancers. Her involvement as a trial investigator and co-investigator in landmark international clinical trials—including the ToGA Study and the ATLAS Breast Cancer Treatment Trial—demonstrates her commitment to evidence-based, contemporary oncology practice.

Dr. Nalini has a strong track record treating international patients from the Gulf region, Africa, and beyond who seek expert cancer care. Her fluency in English, Hindi, and Telugu facilitates seamless communication and personalised care.
