As part of this comprehensive cancer management, we also offer complementary supportive therapies, such as nutrition or psychological support.
Our centres are equipped with state-of-the-art equipment that ensures appropriate treatment. The different radiotherapy techniques are chosen by your doctor for your particular case. Currently, our deployed techniques are:
Radiotherapy
Radiation therapy is a cancer treatment that uses high doses of radiation to kill cancer cells and reduce tumours.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is a cancer treatment that uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. It targets cells with rapid growth and division.
Supportive care
Supportive therapies help make other treatments more effective or help patients feel better during their treatment.
There are two main types of radiation therapy: external radiation therapy and brachytherapy. The external radiation therapy method delivers one or more high-energy X-ray beams to the tumour. The beams are generated outside the patient by a linear particle accelerator and are targeted to the tumour’s location. Advanced radiotherapy techniques aim to maximise the radiation dose on the tumour by minimising the dose received by healthy tissues surrounding the tumour. In our centres, advanced radiotherapy techniques include IMRT (conformational intensity modulation radiotherapy), VMAT (volumetric modulated arc therapy) and stereotactic radiotherapy.
