Radiation Oncology

Radiation oncology is a branch of medicine used in cancer treatment and aims to destroy cancer cells with high-energy radiation. The radiation oncology department of our hospital offers the best service to our patients with state-of-the-art devices and specialized physicians.

Radiation Oncology Services

External Radiotherapy (External Beam Radiation Therapy): External beam radiation therapy is a radiation treatment applied from outside the body. In this method, high-energy radiation beams focus on the cancerous area and destroy tumor cells.

• Conformal Radiotherapy (3D-CRT): Determining the tumor with 3D imaging techniques and delivering radiation according to its shape.
• Intensity Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT): Protection of surrounding tissues by delivering the radiation dose at different intensities within the tumor.
• Image Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT): Precise localization of the tumor by imaging during treatment.

Internal Radiotherapy (Brachytherapy): Internal radiotherapy is applied by placing radioactive materials directly into or near the tumor. This method ensures that cancerous cells receive high doses of radiation with minimal damage to surrounding tissues.

• Intracavitary Brachytherapy: Insertion of radioactive materials into body cavities (for example, into the uterus).
• Interstitial Brachytherapy: Placing radioactive sources directly into tumor tissue.

Stereotactic Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery (SRT/SRS): Stereotactic radiotherapy and radiosurgery are methods that deliver high doses of radiation to the tumor very precisely. These techniques are usually used for small tumors and tumors in specific areas.

• Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT): Precision radiotherapy for tumors in the body.
• Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): High-dose radiation therapy for brain tumors.

Radionuclide Therapies: Radionuclide therapies are injections or oral administration of radioactive substances into the body to destroy tumor cells. It is especially used to treat certain types of cancer, such as thyroid cancer.

• Iodine-131 Treatment: A method used in the treatment of thyroid cancer and thyroid diseases.
• Lutetium-177: It is a radioactive substance used in the treatment of neuroendocrine tumors and prostate cancer.
