Radiation Therapy – Chiwamitra Cancer Hospital +CMH
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment method that uses
high-dose radiation to destroy cancer cells. Nowadays, radiation therapy
technology for cancer treatment has developed progressively. The Varian Vital
Beam particle accelerator is an example of ultramodern technology that
increases the efficiency of cancer treatment.
Features of the Varian particle accelerator irradiation
machine, Vital Beam model.
The Vital Beam radiation therapy machine comes with IMRT
(Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy) and VMAT (Volumetric Modulated Arc
Therapy) technology, which allows the doctor to precisely adjust the intensity
of the radiation beam, also allows radiation to treat cancer more directly to
the cancer cells and reduce side effects on nearby organs.
RADIATION THERAPY
Modern radiation techniques at
Chiwamitra Cancer Hospital
Chiwamitra Cancer Hospital providing radiation therapy
services using modern techniques as follows:
IMRT (Intensity Modulated
Radiation Therapy): is variable
intensity irradiation. It is an advanced cancer radiation therapy technology
developed from 3D radiation therapy (3DCRT) as a method to help preserve tissue
surrounding the cancer cells better, also reducing side effects from radiation.
VMAT (Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy): is a
technique of radiation therapy for cancer treatment. The radiation machine
revolves around the patient to send radiation beams to the destination and
adjust the intensity of the radiation according to the size and shape of the cancer
cell. This method can treat directly to cancer cell and takes less time to radiation
than before. It will take only 3-5 minutes.
SBRT (Stereotactic Body
Radiation Therapy): is a special cancer radiation therapy technique with high
precision. A high dose of radiation is given only to the cancerous area. This
method will precisely irradiate the desired point. Helps reduce the impact on
surrounding normal tissues.
These radiation techniques to treat cancers will help cancer
treatment more efficient, precise, safe, and reduce side effects for the
patient to have a greater chance of being cured from the disease. Contact Chiwamitra
Cancer Hospital to inquire about cancer treatment with radiation, chemotherapy
or Hyperthermia treatment. +CMH
