Radiation Therapy

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.
