Dr. Sanjaya Kumar Mishra

Dr Sanjaya Kumar Mishra is one of Bhubaneswar's best radiation oncologists. He specialises in treating various tumours using radiation therapy. He optimises high-energy radiation to kill cancer cells and shrink tumours, relieve symptoms in patients with advanced cancer and prevent cancer from returning after surgery.

Radiation oncologists like Dr Sanjaya Kumar play a crucial role in the healthcare team. They work alongside specialists such as surgeons, medical oncologists and nurses to provide comprehensive care for cancer patients. Dr Mishra treats conditions like Ewing's sarcoma, head and neck tumours, gynaecological and thoracic malignancy, lymphomas and brain, prostate and lung tumours.

Dr Mishra is one of Bhubaneswar's leading radiation cancer specialists with over 20 years of experience. He performs procedures well suited to the patient's diagnosis and treatment plan. External beam radiation therapy involves directing high-energy beams outside the body toward the tumour or affected area. Internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy) involves placing radioactive sources inside the body to deliver a high radiation dose to the affected area. Stereotactic radiosurgery delivers a high amount of radiation to a small, precise location, often used for tumours in the brain or spine. Palliative radiation therapy relieves symptoms such as pain, bleeding or pressure caused by cancerous tumours

Known for his empathy and warm bedside manner, Dr Sanjaya often says, “One of the most rewarding aspects of my job is seeing patients go through treatment and come out the other side feeling better and stronger. Building relationships with patients and their families is an important part of my work. I want them to know they're not alone in this journey."
