Radiation Oncology | Radiotherapy for Cancer

What is Radiation Oncology?

Radiation therapy kills cancer cells by administering high-energy radiation in precisely targeted and regulated dosages. Some cancer cells die immediately after treatment, but the majority die or become disabled due to radiation-induced damage to the cancer cell’s chromosomes and DNA. Radiation oncologists collaborate with medical oncologists, surgeons, and other specialists to provide the best possible care for you. • Extensive experience with cutting-edge technology.

About TrueBeam STx,- What Is TrueBeam STX Radiosurgery?

TrueBeam STx is an innovative linear accelerator and radiosurgery therapy device that enables physicians to target difficult-to-reach malignancies. The equipment use cutting-edge imaging technology to acquire photographs of the tumor, even as it moves during your normal breathing patterns. It uses these photos to ensure that the radiation beams are always focused on your tumor. Furthermore, because tumors are not exactly round, TrueBeam STx may adjust the shape of the radiation beam to match the shape of your tumour. This may reduce the quantity of radiation that reaches healthy tissue surrounding the tumor.
