Oncology and radiotherapy

Treatment of tumors is a combination of surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy and the most suitable therapy method is selected for patients after tests after examination of his medical tests. In this type of treatment, all three methods of surgical procedures, radiotherapy and chemotherapy, or two methods may be used simultaneously, depending on the patient's condition (sex, age, etc.) and the condition of the ailment (location and extent of the tumor and the type of illness ...). The combination and sequence of these methods also varies.

Radiotherapy

Radiotherapy includes external therapy (external) and internal therapy (brachytherapy).

In external therapy, ionizing radiation from the outside of the body transmits into the body at a certain distance and angle. In internal treatment (brachytherapy) radioactive substances enter the body cavities or the lumina of the body, (for example, in treatment of esophagus tumors and cervix tumors and ...) or enter into the body tissue.

External radiotherapy department

In this department, radiotherapy is used to treat and control tumoral diseases, including cancers. Two radiotherapy devices of the Siemens Primus model, which are capable of producing ionizing radiation with an energy of 15.6 (MW), are used.

Brachytherapy department (internal)

Treatment of a tumor is done from a close distance that includes an intracavitary method such as the space inside the rectum or uterus, and interstitial space in which the radioactive substance is inserted inside or near the tumor. This method is used for the treatment of tumoral diseases of the esophagus, oral cavity, prostate, end of intestine, and occasionally head and neck tumors.
