About the Procedure
What is Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)?
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a highly precise, non-invasive radiation technique that delivers very high doses of focused radiation to small, well-defined tumors in the lung, liver, or pancreas over just a few sessions. It uses advanced imaging and immobilization to spare surrounding healthy tissue while achieving tumor control comparable to surgery in select cases. SBRT is commonly used for early-stage or inoperable tumors, oligometastatic disease, or as a boost after other therapies.
Who may be considered?
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Uses a conventional linear accelerator with image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and precise immobilization devices to deliver 3-5 high-dose fractions to lung, liver, or pancreatic tumors.
3 approaches available for this procedure:
Linear Accelerator (LINAC)-based SBRT
Most CommonUses a conventional linear accelerator with image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) and precise immobilization devices to deliver 3-5 high-dose fractions to lung, liver, or pancreatic tumors.
Comprehensive Investigations
Estimated cost: $400 - $1,200
CT simulation scan, PET-CT, pulmonary function tests, liver/kidney function tests, CBC, ECG, tumor marker tests (AFP/CA 19-9), biopsy confirmation report
Treatment / Procedure Estimate
Estimated cost in India: $4,000 - $7,000
Stay in India
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~3-4 days
Hospitalisation: ~5-6 days (outpatient sessions)
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~7 days recommended
Total stay: approx 14-17 days
Usually Included in Hospital Package
- CT simulation and treatment planning
- Immobilization device fabrication
- 3-5 SBRT treatment sessions
- Radiation oncologist and physicist consultations
- Post-treatment review consultation
Usually Not Included
- Pre-treatment biopsy procedure
- Fiducial marker placement (if required)
- Accommodation and travel costs
- Chemotherapy or systemic therapy
- Long-term follow-up imaging
Recovery and follow-up
Most patients resume normal daily activities within a few days after each session, with mild fatigue or localized irritation being common; follow-up imaging (CT or PET-CT) is typically scheduled 8-12 weeks post-treatment to assess response.
Risks
Potential risks include fatigue, skin irritation, and site-specific effects such as radiation pneumonitis (lung), gastritis or bowel irritation (pancreas), or liver inflammation, with rare risk of damage to adjacent healthy organs.
Alternatives
Alternative options depending on tumor site and stage include conventional fractionated external beam radiotherapy, surgical resection, radiofrequency or microwave ablation, transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) for liver tumors, and systemic chemotherapy.
What we need to prepare a formal estimate
Share whatever you have — the care team will confirm the final checklist after reviewing your case.
Reports required
- Contrast-enhanced CT scan of the chest/abdomen (site-specific)
- PET-CT scan report
- MRI of liver or pancreas (if applicable)
- Biopsy/histopathology report confirming diagnosis
- Tumor marker levels (AFP, CA 19-9, as relevant)
- Pulmonary function test report (for lung cases)
- Liver and kidney function test results
- Prior treatment records (surgery, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy)
Patient information needed
- Patient age and overall performance status
- Exact tumor location, size, and number of lesions
- Cancer stage and prior treatment history
- Current medications and known allergies
- Comorbidities (diabetes, cardiac or respiratory conditions)
- Ability to hold breath or tolerate immobilization for treatment
- Recent lab reports (CBC, liver/kidney function)
- Insurance or payment preference for treatment planning
Costs shown are indicative planning estimates based on typical pricing across leading Indian hospitals. They are not a quote — actual pricing depends on your case complexity, hospital choice, and length of stay. Share your reports for a personalized estimate.

Common questions
FAQs about Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in Bengaluru, India
What is Pancreatic cancer?
Pancreatic cancer is a malignancy that originates in the cells of the pancreas, most commonly in the ducts that carry digestive enzymes. Because it rarely causes obvious symptoms in its early stages, it is frequently detected only after it has reached a locally advanced or metastatic stage.
What are the symptoms and health risks of Pancreatic cancer?
Common presentations include persistent upper abdominal or back pain, unexplained weight loss, new-onset or worsening diabetes, jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes, often accompanied by dark urine and pale stools when the bile duct is obstructed), and loss of appetite or fatigue. Less specific signs such as nausea, changes in stool consistency, or a new blood-clot event can also occur. These symptoms overlap with many other conditions, so experiencing them does not confirm a diagnosis — a structured clinical and radiological assessment is required.
How is Pancreatic cancer diagnosed?
Diagnosis typically begins with cross-sectional imaging, most commonly a contrast-enhanced CT scan of the abdomen and chest, which helps define the size and location of the tumour and whether it involves major blood vessels (a key factor in determining resectability). MRI or endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) may be used for additional detail or to obtain a tissue biopsy, and PET-CT is sometimes performed to detect distant spread. The serum tumour marker CA 19-9 can support clinical decision-making but is not diagnostic on its own; staging follows the TNM system and places tumours into categories — resectable, borderline resectable, locally advanced, or metastatic — that directly shape treatment planning.
How is Pancreatic cancer treated?
The appropriate treatment pathway depends on tumour stage, the patient's overall health, and whether the cancer involves critical vascular structures. Surgical resection — such as a Whipple procedure (pancreaticoduodenectomy) for tumours in the head of the pancreas, or a distal pancreatectomy for body and tail tumours — offers the best chance of long-term disease control when the cancer is confined and technically removable. For cancers that cannot be removed surgically, options include chemotherapy regimens (such as FOLFIRINOX or gemcitabine-based combinations), radiation-based approaches including Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), or a combination of these; all treatment decisions should be made by a multidisciplinary team based on individual assessment.
Can Pancreatic cancer be treated without a procedure?
Many patients with pancreatic cancer — particularly those with locally advanced or metastatic disease, or those whose overall health makes surgery high-risk — are managed with systemic chemotherapy, targeted therapy (where a specific mutation such as BRCA is present), or immunotherapy within a clinical trial. SBRT can be used to treat tumours that are locally advanced but not amenable to surgery, either as a primary approach or to downstage the tumour before reassessing surgical eligibility. Supportive and palliative care — including pain management, nutritional support, and enzyme replacement therapy for pancreatic insufficiency — is an important part of care at every stage and is not a lesser alternative; it runs alongside active treatment or, when appropriate, becomes the primary focus.
When is Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) considered for Pancreatic cancer?
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) may be considered only when it is appropriate for the confirmed diagnosis and the expected benefit outweighs the individual risks. The decision may depend on symptom severity, investigation results, previous treatment, overall health and the patient's goals. A specialist should discuss alternatives and recovery before any procedure is planned.
Which doctor treats Pancreatic cancer?
Pancreatic cancer is typically evaluated and managed by a multidisciplinary team that includes a surgical gastroenterologist or hepatopancreato-biliary (HPB) surgeon, a medical oncologist, and a radiation oncologist. Gastroenterologists with expertise in endoscopic ultrasound often play a key role in diagnosis and staging.
How do I choose a doctor for Pancreatic cancer?
When comparing providers, look for a surgeon or centre with documented experience in complex pancreatic operations (including high-volume Whipple procedures), access to a formal multidisciplinary tumour board, and the ability to coordinate chemotherapy and radiation as part of an integrated plan. Clarity on post-operative follow-up, surveillance imaging schedules, and access to palliative or supportive care services is equally important to ask about.
What documents do international patients need to share for a medical evaluation?
Share a concise medical summary, symptom timeline, previous diagnoses, investigation and imaging reports, procedure or biopsy reports where relevant, current medicines, allergies and related treatment records. Provide clear copies with translations when needed. The reviewing doctor may request additional information before giving an opinion.
How does GAF Healthcare help international patients plan treatment in India?
Our care coordination team can review the initial information, help identify suitable doctors and hospitals, request a medical opinion where available, explain next steps and indicative cost information, and support practical planning before travel. A remote opinion does not replace an in-person examination or emergency care.
