About Dr. Prahlad Yathiraj
Professional summary
Dr. Prahlad Yathiraj is a Senior Consultant in Radiation Oncology at MGM Healthcare, Chennai, with more than 15 years of experience. His practice brings together routine radiation therapy for cancer and the more focused techniques used when a tumour has to be treated to a high dose in a small number of sessions.
He works with stereotactic body radiation therapy and stereotactic radiosurgery, image-guided radiation therapy, brachytherapy and plaque brachytherapy, intraoperative radiation therapy and total body irradiation. The mix covers everything from single-site stereotactic treatment to the whole-body conditioning used before transplant.
His training has been built across India, Canada and the United States. He gained clinical training and experience at Kasturba Medical College and at Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai, completed advanced training in liver and spine SBRT at Princess Margaret Hospital in Toronto, and held a UICC Fellowship in head and neck cancer at the University of Michigan. That combination explains the two strands running through his practice: stereotactic treatment of abdominal and spinal disease, and head and neck oncology.
Alongside patient care, Dr. Yathiraj has more than 17 peer-reviewed publications in oncology journals and has presented at ASTRO, ESTRO and ASCO. He serves as Treasurer of the AROI Tamil Nadu and Puducherry chapter of the Association of Radiation Oncologists of India, and outside medicine he has represented alumni cricket teams internationally.
