Radiation Oncology
How we can help you
Radiation therapy involves the use of high-energy radiation therapy to control or kill tumour cells. It may be used to cure disease, reduce symptoms such as pain, and/or to prevent disease recurrence. Radiation therapy is an effective and important part of the management of a range of cancers, it can also be used for non-cancerous diseases. It may be given on its own or with other forms of treatment such as chemotherapy or surgery.
Most modern radiation therapy techniques focus on accurately targeting cancer cells. Which means they only affect the part of your body that requires treatment while sparing the normal cells. Like having a routine X-ray, radiation therapy is painless.
Types of radiation therapy treatments include;
- Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
- Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
- Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) for malignant and non-malignant diseases
- Total Body Irradiation (TBI) for bone marrow transplants
- Total Skin Electron Therapy (TSET) for the treatment of cutaneous lymphomas
- Volumetric Modulated Radiation Therapy (VMAT)
- Brachytherapy service includes treatment of gynaecological disease
- Interstitial sites and choroidal melanoma using eye plaques
Your assessment, treatment planning and care are delivered at our clinics and specialist radiation therapy facilities in our NCCC Radiation Oncology Department.
