Radiotherapy
Barkat Cancer Hospital uses modern radiation therapy devices such as the Cyberknife device, etc., in order to improve the maximum number of patients
The radiotherapy department of Barkat Cancer Hospital is located on the third floor. Also, one of the important and necessary parts in the path of cancer treatment is the use of radiation therapy devices, which is mainly prescribed by the attending physician separately or in combination with chemotherapy.
Radiotherapy is the use of ionizing radiation to destroy or shrink cancerous tissues. The goal of radiation therapy is to destroy as many cancer cells as possible with minimal damage to healthy tissues. With the benefit of excellent doctors and experts, as well as modern and equipped devices, it has taken a step in this way
Knowing about this problem, Barkat Cancer Hospital has tried with the cooperation of experienced doctors, physicists and experts and benefiting from modern radiation therapy devices such as cyberknife devices, tomotherapy devices and advanced linear accelerators to provide the best treatment method for the maximum improvement of the patients
Cyberknife device
Cyberknife is the latest radiosurgery technology in the world that can treat many cancerous tumors in different parts of the body. With the use of this technology and the high accuracy of this device, many cancerous tumors that are located in parts of the body that are not accessible to surgeons or are located in very sensitive areas such as the brain stem, spinal cord, pancreas, lungs, etc., can be cured and cured
In this method, of course, there is no real knife, but the irradiated beam narrows the area on cancer cells like a precise and painless knife, without the need for anesthesia. This device is actually a compact linear accelerator mounted on a robotic arm. Using a robotic arm, Cyberknife delivers multiple beams of high-dose radiation from different angles.
Tomotherapy device
Tomotherapy device is an advanced technology that treats tumors and cancer cells using radiation therapy. This device has a computer receiver and linear accelerators are also built into it. In the tomotherapy device, the radiation therapy process is performed piece by piece and the amount of damage to healthy tissues is minimized compared to other methods
The reason for the popularity of tomotherapy devices around the world is that this device can accurately determine the location of the tumor in a three-dimensional way and with a specialized CT scan. The most important principle in tomotherapy is that the linear accelerator
and tomograph are irradiated to the patient's body at the same time. This synchronicity helps cancer cells to be destroyed and other healthy cells of the body are not harmed.
Linear accelerator device
A medical linear accelerator delivers very high energy x-rays or electrons to an area of a patient's tumor. This device is designed in such a way that it can destroy cancer cells and cause minimal damage to the healthy tissue around the tumor.
The linear accelerator device is capable of treating all tumors in the body and offers the best type of treatment to the patient using common techniques and treatment methods.
