Radiation oncology is an important method used in the treatment of cancer patients. This branch involves the use of high-energy beams or particles and has developed many techniques and methods aimed at destroying or controlling cancer cells. Radiation oncologists determine treatment plans for cancer patients and monitor the health and well-being of patients during radiation therapy. As Enodia Health, we support patients in their fight against cancer by using the latest technology in radiation oncology.
Scope of Radiation Oncology
- External Radiotherapy (External Radiation Therapy): In this method, high-energy rays or particles from outside target the tumor by focusing on cancer cells. External radiotherapy aims to destroy or control cancerous tissue and is usually administered in a series of sessions.
- Internal Radiotherapy (Brachytherapy): In this method, radioactive substances are placed directly into the tumor or nearby tissue. This delivers a high dose of radiation to cancer cells while minimally affecting surrounding healthy tissues.
- Volume Modulated Radiotherapy (VMAT): VMAT is a technique that can rotate the tumor up to 360 degrees and deliver targeted high doses of radiation. This method targets the tumor more precisely while sparing surrounding healthy tissues.
- Proton Therapy: Proton therapy is a radiation treatment method that uses high-energy protons. This method has the capacity to target the tumor while causing minimal damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
