External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT): EBRT delivers high-energy radiation beams from outside the body to target cancerous tumors. Our radiation oncologists utilize advanced techniques such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) to precisely target tumors while sparing nearby healthy tissues, reducing side effects, and improving treatment outcomes.
Brachytherapy: Brachytherapy involves the placement of radioactive sources directly into or near the tumor site, delivering a high dose of radiation to the cancerous cells while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Our radiation oncologists specialize in various brachytherapy techniques, including intracavitary, interstitial, and surface applicators, to treat a wide range of cancers, including gynecological, prostate, and skin cancers.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT): SRS and SBRT are advanced techniques that deliver precise, high-dose radiation to small tumors or localized areas of cancer in the body, typically in fewer treatment sessions than conventional radiation therapy. Our radiation oncologists use state-of-the-art equipment and imaging technology to accurately target tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues, offering an effective treatment option for patients with tumors in the brain, spine, lung, liver, and other areas.
Radiation Therapy for Breast Cancer: Radiation therapy is commonly used as part of breast cancer treatment, either after lumpectomy or mastectomy surgery, to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. Our radiation oncologists work closely with breast surgeons and medical oncologists to develop personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique situation, aiming to achieve optimal outcomes with minimal side effects.
Palliative Radiation Therapy: Palliative radiation therapy is used to relieve pain and symptoms caused by advanced cancer, improve quality of life, and enhance patient comfort. Our radiation oncologists collaborate with palliative care teams to provide compassionate and supportive care to patients with advanced or metastatic cancer, focusing on symptom management and maintaining dignity and comfort.
Clinical Trials: Oncoheal Cancer Centre is committed to advancing the field of radiation oncology through participation in clinical trials. Our radiation oncologists collaborate with leading researchers and institutions to offer eligible patients access to innovative treatments and investigational therapies, contributing to the development of new and improved cancer treatments.
Supportive Care: We understand that undergoing radiation therapy can be physically and emotionally challenging. Our supportive care team provides comprehensive services, including symptom management, nutritional support, counseling, and rehabilitation, to help patients cope with side effects, manage treatment-related symptoms, and maintain overall well-being throughout their radiation treatment journey.
At Oncoheal Cancer Centre, we are dedicated to providing compassionate care and innovative radiation treatments to our patients. Whether you’re undergoing radiation therapy for the first time or seeking a second opinion, we are here to support you every step of the way.
