| HDR Brachytherapy. |
| |
| MNJ acquires High Dose Rate Brachytherapy equipment (Micro Selectron). It is used for treatment of Oro-pharyngeal cancers, Cancer of the esophagus, Common Bile Duct, Cervix, Prostate, Rectum and Skin cancer. It facilitates organ preservation as in Cancer of the Breast and Penis and Limb Preservation in case of Soft tissue sarcomas. To mention other advantages of this instrument, it reduces treatment time, hospitalization time, and increases Patient comfort. Because of shortened treatment time, more number of patients can be treated per machine per day. |

| 3D Treatment Planning System |
| |
| Radiation treatment instrumentation. It is useful to plan radiation dose delivery in a most accurate method. This facilitates treating the main target with least damage to adjacent normal tissues. It has been found to be extremely useful in treatment planning of various brachytherapy procedures, External RT of brain tumors, lung cancer, prostrate cancer, breast cancer, bladder cancer and cancer of cervix etc. |
|
| Radiotherapy Simulator |
| |
| Mehdi Nawaz Jung Institute of Oncology has acquired a latest Computerized simulator which facilitates treatment planning in Radio Therapy. Treatment field can be marked out exactly as a result of which radiation induced damage to surrounding normal tissues can be minimized. And at the same time high doses of cancer destructive beams to tumor tissue can be delivered. |

| |
| Institute purchased Dual Energy Linear Accelerator |
| |
| This instrument treats cancer using photons (mega voltage x ray) and electrons as cancer destructive beams. It will be equipped with a multi leaf collimator which increases precision of treatment. As a result of which unwanted side effects like skin, soft tissue and bone reactions can be significantly reduced. This is a highly desirable aspect in cancer treatment. It is useful in the treatment of cancer of Prostate, Nasopharynx, Cervix etc. This addition to our Institute also facilitates Stereo Tactic Radio therapy and Stereo Tactic Radio surgery (X- knife). |

Air Pollution is a major environmental health problem affecting the developing and the developed countries alike. The effects of Air Pollution on health are very complex as there are many different sources and their individual effects vary from one to the other.
To combat the pollution, GAIL (India) Limited, a public sector undertaking under Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas is coming up with its natural gas in 22 cities in India which will reduce vehicular Pollution and also domestic and commercial.
In Hyderabad GAIL ( India) Limited has associated with MNJ Institute of Oncology & Regional Cancer Centre, Hyderabad and had set up an Air Pollution Related Disease Diagnostic Center in Hyderabad for which they have contributed an amount of rs.20.00 lakhs for purchase of equipments.
This APRDDC would work as R & D for the development of facilities for diagnosing suspended particles, which are known to cause various heart diseases and the levels of these particles are at alarming level in the environment. This APRDD Centre was formally inaugurated on 21 st March, 2005 by the Principal Secretary to Govt., Health, Medical & Family Welfare Dept. Govt. of Andhra Pradesh.
