Dr. T. Raghavender Reddy
Medical Oncologist, Radiation Oncologist & Hemato-Oncologist in Hyderabad — One Specialist, Complete Cancer Care
Dr. T. Raghavender Reddy holds a rare dual qualification in both Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology — making him one of a small group of oncologists in Hyderabad who can manage the full spectrum of cancer treatment from chemotherapy and targeted therapy to radiation planning, without the need for multiple referrals.
About Dr. T. Raghavender Reddy
A Dual-Qualified Medical & Radiation Oncologist
Dr. T. Raghavender Reddy is a Consultant Medical Oncologist, Radiation Oncologist and Hemato-Oncologist at CION Cancer Clinics, Hyderabad. His dual qualification — MD in Radiation Oncology from Kasturba Medical College, Manipal, followed by DM in Medical Oncology from Dr. B. Borooah Cancer Institute — places him among a small group of oncologists nationally who hold substantive training in both disciplines.
This breadth of training has direct consequences for patients. When a cancer case requires both chemotherapy and radiation — as many do — Dr. Raghavender can assess, plan and oversee both without the delays and fragmentation that come with multiple specialist referrals. His understanding of how radiation and systemic therapies interact allows for more precisely coordinated treatment plans.
His practice covers solid tumours including lung, breast, head and neck and gynaecological cancers, as well as blood cancers including leukaemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma. At CION Cancer Clinics, all cases are reviewed by a multi-disciplinary Tumor Board, with Dr. Raghavender contributing across both medical and radiation oncology perspectives.
Professional Qualifications
Why Dual Qualification Matters
Radiation Oncology
High-energy radiation therapy, IMRT, IGRT, SBRT, brachytherapy — precision targeting of tumours
Medical Oncology
Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, targeted therapy, hormone therapy — systemic cancer treatment
Haemato-Oncology
Blood cancers — leukaemia, lymphoma, myeloma — combined medical and targeted therapy approaches
Most cancer patients need more than one type of treatment. Dr. Raghavender is trained in all three.
Conditions Treated & Treatment Approaches
Comprehensive Medical, Radiation & Hemato-Oncology Services
Medical oncology + radiation planning for lung cancers. Treatment depends on histology, stage, and molecular profile, often combining chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and precision radiation techniques.
Chemotherapy, hormone therapy, targeted therapy and radiation coordination. Dr. Raghavender plans the full treatment pathway including both systemic agents and radiotherapy, ensuring optimal sequencing and minimal delays.
Combined chemoradiation — Dr. Raghavender manages both components. Simultaneous chemotherapy and radiation often achieve better outcomes than sequential treatment, and require coordinated planning from a single specialist.
Cervical, ovarian and uterine cancers — medical and radiation approaches. Treatment is individualised based on stage, risk factors and surgical pathology, often combining chemotherapy, targeted agents and pelvic radiation.
Acute and chronic leukaemias — chemotherapy and targeted agents. Treatment protocols are risk-stratified and may include induction therapy, consolidation and maintenance, with careful monitoring and symptom management.
Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma — chemotherapy and radiation. Many lymphoma protocols benefit from combined modality treatment; Dr. Raghavender coordinates both chemotherapy regimens and radiation planning.
Targeted therapy and chemotherapy combinations. Modern myeloma treatment uses proteasome inhibitors, IMiDs and monoclonal antibodies; Dr. Raghavender manages the medical oncology components in coordinated care plans.
Gastric, colorectal, oesophageal — systemic and radiation treatment. GI cancers often require neoadjuvant chemotherapy, surgery and adjuvant treatment; Dr. Raghavender plans the full multi-modal pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Cancer Diagnosis & Treatment
Not necessarily. I hold qualifications in both Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology, which means I can assess, plan and oversee both components of your treatment. This matters because chemotherapy and radiation often need to be carefully sequenced and sometimes given simultaneously — and having one doctor who understands both reduces delays, miscommunication and the burden of navigating multiple appointments. At CION Cancer Clinics, the treatment plan is also reviewed by our Tumor Board before we begin.
Chemotherapy uses drugs that kill rapidly dividing cells — including cancer cells — throughout the body. Targeted therapy uses drugs designed to attack specific proteins or mutations present in the cancer cell. Targeted therapy generally has fewer systemic side effects than chemotherapy because it acts more precisely. Whether chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy or a combination is appropriate depends on the cancer type, its molecular profile and the stage. I explain all options clearly at the consultation before recommending a plan.
Lymphoma is one of the most treatable blood cancers when diagnosed and managed correctly. Treatment depends on whether it is Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma, the subtype, and the stage. Most patients receive chemotherapy — sometimes combined with targeted agents like rituximab — and in certain cases radiation is added. I manage both aspects of lymphoma treatment and work within the CION Tumor Board to ensure the plan is evidence-based and personalised.

Yes. Dr. T. Raghavender Reddy at CION Cancer Clinics, Hyderabad, treats blood cancers including leukaemia, lymphoma and multiple myeloma as part of his hemato-oncology practice. Contact +91 9063490160 or WhatsApp to book an appointment.
IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy) is an advanced form of radiation therapy that shapes the radiation beam to conform precisely to the tumour, delivering high doses to the cancer while sparing surrounding healthy tissue. It is used for head and neck cancers, prostate cancer, breast cancer and several other tumour types where precision is critical. Dr. Raghavender’s training in radiation oncology includes IMRT planning and delivery.
Immunotherapy uses the body’s own immune system to recognise and attack cancer cells. It includes checkpoint inhibitors, which remove the brakes that cancers put on the immune system. It is now standard treatment for several cancers including lung, melanoma and some head and neck cancers. At CION Cancer Clinics, Hyderabad, immunotherapy is available as part of a comprehensive medical oncology plan.
The decision to add radiation after surgery depends on several factors — the type and stage of cancer, surgical margins, lymph node involvement and tumour biology. This is precisely the decision the Tumor Board reviews at CION Cancer Clinics. As both a surgical and radiation oncologist by training, I can assess the surgical pathology report and radiation planning requirements together, rather than in separate specialist consultations.
Chemotherapy costs vary depending on the protocol, drug regimen, number of cycles and the cancer type. At CION Cancer Clinics, the team provides a full cost breakdown after clinical evaluation. Insurance coverage for chemotherapy is available under most health policies in India. Contact +91 9063490160 and the team will assist with cost and insurance queries.
Haemato-oncology is the branch of oncology focused on cancers of the blood and bone marrow — including leukaemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma and myelodysplastic syndromes. A haemato-oncologist diagnoses and treats these conditions using chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy and in some cases coordination with bone marrow transplant. Dr. Raghavender’s dual training in medical and radiation oncology extends to haematological malignancies.
