Radiation Therapy Unit
At RadCare, we are committed to delivering the latest cancer treatment technologies with the highest levels of care and professionalism. We understand the challenges our patients face, and we strive to support them with all our expertise and dedication, ensuring a treatment journey built on trust and excellence.
We believe that our patients deserve to receive care in an environment that promotes healing and enhances their well-being
State-of-the-Art Radiation Therapy Devices
We use cutting-edge radiation therapy equipment such as the Varian TrueBeam system, which allows for high-precision treatment targeting tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
We also utilize artificial intelligence technologies to enhance tumor targeting accuracy, ensuring care that meets the highest international medical standards
Advanced Radiation Therapy Techniques
We provide a comprehensive range of advanced radiation therapy techniques to achieve the best possible outcomes:
- Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): Precisely shapes radiation beams to conform to the tumor's shape, minimizing radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
- Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT): Allows faster and more efficient treatment by continuously adjusting the radiation beam as the machine rotates around the patient.
- Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): Utilizes advanced imaging to ensure accurate patient positioning and make real-time adjustments before and during sessions.
- Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): Delivers high doses of radiation to small, well-defined tumors with fewer treatment sessions.
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): A non-invasive alternative to traditional surgery, targeting small tumors inside or outside the skull with extreme precision.
- Electron Beam Therapy: Effective for treating skin cancers and superficial tumors while sparing deeper tissues.
- Advanced Respiratory Management (Gating): Uses modern tools to ensure accurate targeting of tumors that move with breathing, especially in the chest and abdominal areas.
- Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH): A technique that helps protect vital organs like the heart during treatment of left-sided breast cancer.
