About Dr. Sapna Nangia
Professional summary
Dr. Sapna Nangia is a Senior Consultant in Radiation Oncology at Apollo Proton Cancer Centre, Chennai, with more than 33 years of experience.
She works with proton beam therapy as well as photon-based techniques including intensity-modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiation therapy, 3D conformal radiotherapy and external beam radiotherapy. Her stereotactic expertise covers stereotactic body radiation therapy, stereotactic radiosurgery and CyberKnife radiosurgery, and she also performs intracavitary and interstitial brachytherapy, which deliver radiation from a source positioned within or close to the treatment area.
Having proton and photon options available in the same centre is the practical distinction in her practice: the modality itself becomes part of the treatment decision rather than a fixed starting point, and the choice can be made against the site of the tumour and the tissue around it.
Dr. Nangia completed her MBBS before earning an MD in Radiotherapy and Radiation Oncology. Her professional associations also include an affiliation with Apollo Hospitals in Delhi, and she currently practises at Apollo Proton Cancer Centre in Chennai.
With more than three decades of experience across conformal, image-guided, stereotactic, proton and internally delivered radiation, her background is defined by the breadth of techniques she can bring to an individual treatment plan — a relevant consideration for patients travelling to Chennai specifically for proton therapy.
Practises at
Apollo Proton Cancer CentreChennai, India
Apollo Proton Cancer Centre in Chennai opened in 2019 with 150 beds and a proton gantry that is the reason most families fly this far. JCI and NABH are current. Radiation here is protons when the Bragg peak is the clinical argument, and photons when it is not. Neuro-oncology sits on the same campus. GAF Healthcare will not sell a proton course that IMRT could have done at home.

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?
