Radiation Oncology
Radiation oncology departments examine effects of radiation on cancer and behaviors of tumors using ionizing radiation and conduct investigations in this field.
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high-energy x-ray or other particles to destroy cancer cells and it can treat many different types of cancer. It can also be used in combination with other cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and/or surgery.
All types of radiation oncology treatments are now provided for all types of cancers with the most-advanced technologies available in the world.
The technology used in radiation oncology are:
Cyberknife M6
Cyberknife M6 is a rare robotic surgery device dedicated to stereotactic radiosurgery today with its presence ensuring patient comfort and easy applications compared to conventional systems. It is profoundly used in malignant or benign diseases localized in the brain, in tumors localized in the spine, head and neck, lung, pancreas, liver, adrenal and prostate glands.
Varian Edge
Varian Edge is a device that can apply many treatment techniques such as IMRT, VMAT, SRS and SBRT on the same platform. The key points of the Varian Edge system are precision and treatment accuracy. The entire system works with mechanical precision below 1 millimeter. Thus, it is possible to carry out tumor irradiation with millimetric accuracy while preserving the healthy organs in the environment with the same sensitivity. All tumors inside the head and body can be easily treated with this device.
Radixact
Radixact is the most recent model of a device family known as “tomotherapy”. Helical drug delivery is its most important feature. The system is a combination of megavoltage computed tomography function and linear accelerator. Device consists of two arrays of multileaf collimator and 6 MV linac system. The irradiation is applied by a gantry with continuous rotation, similar to a computed tomography device.
