About Dr. K. Kiran Kumar
Professional summary
Dr. K. Kiran Kumar is a Consultant Radiation Oncologist at Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda, Hyderabad, with more than 19 years of experience in radiation oncology.
His practice covers radiation therapy for cancer, brachytherapy, stereotactic body radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery and image-guided radiation therapy. He has a particular interest in RapidArc and in SRS and SRT, which extends his work across image-guided and highly focused forms of treatment. These methods differ mainly in how the dose is shaped and delivered: stereotactic techniques concentrate radiation on a defined target in a small number of sessions, while brachytherapy places the radiation source within or close to the area being treated.
Dr. Kumar completed an MD in Radiation Therapy followed by a DNB in the same discipline. That postgraduate training underpins his work across external radiation treatment, stereotactic techniques and brachytherapy at Yashoda Hospitals.
His disease-specific academic work centres on head and neck cancer, and he has served as principal investigator for multiple international clinical trials — a role that involves running studies to protocol at his own centre as part of a wider multi-country programme.
He maintains professional connections with the Association of Radiation Oncologists of India, the Indian Medical Association and the European Society for Medical Oncology, keeping his practice linked to both Indian and international oncology communities.

Consultation preparation
- Pathology report and immunohistochemistry if already done.
- Staging imaging in DICOM where possible, plus the written report.
- Operative notes, prior systemic therapy and any previous radiation plan, including dose and volumes if available.
- A named clinical question: curative, adjuvant, salvage or symptom control.
Questions to ask
- Where will simulation and daily treatment take place, and is that the same campus as the consultation?
- Which technique is planned, and why not an alternative already documented on GAF’s cost guides?
- Who owns follow-up after you return home, and what is sent back to the referring team?
- What is the written estimate for the planned course — separate from any consultation fee?
