Dr. Gourav Gupta, MD — Senior Radiation Oncologist
For over sixteen years I have treated patients across Chhattisgarh with modern radiation therapy — combining clinical precision with the human care every family deserves. I also share clear, trustworthy cancer education to help patients understand their journey.

About
A trusted leader in modern radiation oncology.
Based in Raipur, I bring sixteen years of specialist expertise together with a record of building cancer services, advancing precision radiotherapy, and mentoring the next generation of oncologists.
Trained in radiation oncology at Gandhi Medical College, Bhopal — following my MBBS at NSCB Medical College, Jabalpur — I sharpened my expertise at premier institutions including the Rajiv Gandhi Cancer Institute, New Delhi. Over more than sixteen years I have built a reputation for clinical command of the full spectrum of modern radiotherapy, from 3DCRT and IMRT/VMAT to advanced stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS/SBRT). Today I serve as Senior Consultant and Head of Radiation Oncology at Ramkrishna CARE Hospital, Raipur, where I treat on the Elekta Versa HD platform — with Monaco Monte-Carlo planning, the HexaPOD 6D robotic couch and Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC) for heart-sparing precision.
My work has helped shape radiation oncology across Central India. I have established departments from the ground up — from the technical planning of linear accelerators and brachytherapy systems through to AERB approvals — commissioning two cancer centres, and I lead a DNB (Radiation Oncology) training programme that is preparing the next generation of specialists. I contribute peer-reviewed research in radiation physics and clinical oncology, and serve as Joint Secretary of the AROI Madhya Pradesh–Chhattisgarh chapter.
Through it all, my focus stays on the patient. I believe people heal better when they understand their illness, which is why I explain cancer, treatment, and prevention in clear, plain language for patients, caregivers, and the wider community. At Ramkrishna CARE Hospital, I am bringing this blend of expertise and compassion to even more families across the region.

Expertise
Advanced, precision radiation oncology.
Delivered on the Elekta Versa HD™ platform — with the Agility™ 160-leaf MLC, Monaco® Monte-Carlo planning, HexaPOD™ 6D positioning and Active Breathing Coordinator™ — for precise, personalised care.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery
SRS, SRT and SBRT on the Elekta Versa HD — high-definition dynamic radiosurgery with high-dose-rate FFF beams and the Agility 160-leaf MLC for sub-millimetre precision.
IMRT & VMAT
Intensity-modulated and volumetric arc therapy (VMAT) with the Agility MLC and Monaco Monte-Carlo planning, plus 3DCRT, for conformal, efficient treatment.
Image-Guided Radiation (IGRT)
Daily cone-beam CT (XVI) with real-time MotionView monitoring, to target tumours accurately while sparing healthy tissue.
DIBH with Active Breathing Coordinator
Breath-hold using Elekta’s Active Breathing Coordinator (ABC) to protect the heart in left-sided breast, and to manage lung and liver tumours.
HexaPOD 6D Positioning
Sub-millimetre patient set-up corrected in six axes by the HexaPOD robotic couch — essential for accurate stereotactic treatment.
Monaco Monte-Carlo Planning
Gold-standard Monte-Carlo dose calculation with the Monaco treatment planning system, for faster, more precise and individualised plans.
Brachytherapy
Intracavitary radiotherapy (ICRT) and vaginal-vault brachytherapy — high-dose internal radiation placed close to the tumour, especially for cervical and other gynaecological cancers.
Palliative Radiotherapy
Short, focused courses of radiation to relieve pain, bleeding and other symptoms in advanced cancer — improving comfort and quality of life.
