About Us
Radiation Oncology is a specialized medical field that focuses on using radiation therapy to treat cancer. Brachytherapy is a specific form of radiation therapy where a radioactive source is placed directly into or very close to the tumor. Our department is proud to have a team of highly skilled radiation oncologists who are experts in delivering targeted cancer treatments.
Our Services
- External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): We offer external beam radiation therapy using TrueBeam, a state-of-the-art linear accelerator. TrueBeam technology delivers highly precise and powerful radiation beams to target cancer cells while sparing healthy tissue.
- Brachytherapy: Our department specializes in brachytherapy, a technique that allows for the precise delivery of radiation by placing radioactive sources directly inside the body or near the tumor. We provide brachytherapy for various cancer types, including prostate, cervical, and breast cancer.
- Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): We offer IMRT, a sophisticated form of external beam radiation therapy that customizes radiation doses to match the shape of the tumor, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.
- Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT): TrueBeam technology incorporates IGRT, which uses real-time imaging to ensure the accurate delivery of radiation, even as the tumor position may change during treatment.
