Modern radiation oncology focuses on maximum tumoricidal eradication with sub-millimeter normal-tissue sparing. Explore how Dr. Lubna Mariam plans and delivers these advanced modalities.

360-Degree Continuous Arc Radiation in 2 to 4 Minutes

Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT / RapidArc)

Precision Standard: Sub-millimeter isocenter verification with daily kV-CBCT

VMAT rotates around the patient in continuous 360-degree arcs while dynamic multileaf collimators shape the radiation beam continuously. This delivers extreme target conformity with significantly reduced treatment delivery times.

Patient & Clinical Benefits:
Significantly shortens treatment time from 20 minutes to under 3 minutes
Decreases intrafraction patient motion error for high accuracy
Sculpts high curative doses tightly to complex concave tumor geometries
Drastically spares neighboring healthy organs-at-risk (OARs)

Dr. Lubna Mariam is one of the most polite and caring oncologists in Bangladesh. She answered every single question our family had with immense patience and empathy. Madam planned 15 fractions of modern VMAT radiation with heart protection. My mother did not face skin burns or severe complications. Her guidance on follow-up care gave us so much courage. A truly outstanding doctor.

🎗️Stage IIB Infiltrating Ductal Breast Carcinoma

Protocol: Post-Mastectomy Hypofractionated VMAT Radiation (15 Fractions) + Hormone Therapy

Family of Mrs. Rokeya Begum (Age 52)

February 2025
Ahsania Mission Cancer & General HospitalVerified

Other surgeons initially told us my father would have his entire voice box removed. We consulted Associate Professor Dr. Lubna Mariam at the National Institute of ENT. She planned definitive IMRT chemoradiation to save his voice. Today, his post-treatment PET-CT scan is completely clear, and he speaks with his normal natural voice! We cannot thank her enough for her scientific precision and dedication.

We traveled from Sylhet specifically for Dr. Lubna Mariam madam's expertise in 3D HDR Brachytherapy. Her international UICC fellowship training is reflected in her meticulous clinical care. Madam herself explained how the internal radiation applicator works to minimize bladder and rectum side effects. My wife completed all fractions safely and is doing wonderfully. Outstanding expertise and bedside manner.

Ahsania Mission Cancer HospitalVerified

Ahsania Mission's radiotherapy department is excellent under Dr. Lubna Mariam. She contoured the tumor bed with utmost accuracy, sparing my parotid glands so my mouth didn't dry out permanently. She reviewed my blood counts weekly during treatment. If any patient is looking for a genuine, highly qualified radiation oncologist, Dr. Lubna Mariam is the right choice.

🎗️Squamous Cell Carcinoma of Nasopharynx

Ahsania Mission Cancer & General Hospital (AMCGH)Verified

We visited Dr. Lubna Mariam at Continental Hospital for a critical second opinion. Among all the doctors we met, she spent the most time going through every slice of the MRI and PET-CT scan. She explained the risks and benefits clearly without rushing us. In oncology, genuine empathy and clarity are rare gifts. 5-star medical professional.

🎗️Second Opinion & Oligometastatic Radiosurgery (SRS)

Rezaul Karim & Family

March 2025
Continental HospitalVerified

Having left-sided breast cancer, my primary anxiety was heart toxicity from radiation. Dr. Lubna Mariam taught me the DIBH breathing technique and verified it on the simulator. The breath-hold moved my heart completely out of the radiation beam path! It has been 2 years since my therapy, cardiac checkup is normal and no recurrence. Highly recommend madam.

🎗️Left-Sided Breast Cancer (Post-Lumpectomy)

Protocol: Deep Inspiration Breath-Hold (DIBH) Heart-Sparing Radiotherapy

Mrs. Shahnaz Parveen (Age 49)

October 2024
Ahsania Mission & Continental HospitalVerified

When my mother was crying in unbearable bone pain, Dr. Lubna Mariam arranged emergency palliative radiation within 24 hours. The pain subsided drastically by the third day, allowing my mother to sleep peacefully and spend quality time with her grandchildren. Her UICC palliative background makes her approach deeply humane and comforting.

Dr. Lubna Mariam planned my preoperative 5x5 Gy radiation before my rectal surgery. The tumor shrank significantly, which enabled the surgeon to preserve my anal sphincter! The chamber coordinators at Ahsania Mission were very prompt in providing serial numbers. Excellent care.
