Personalized Radiation Treatment
TomoTherapy is the most efficient and developed way for fighting cancer and provides cancer patients with chance of cure in İstanbul Medicalpark Bahçelievler Hospital. In the field of radiotherapy, necessary dose and intended ratio can be delivered to multiple tumor cells while organs are protected and healthy tissues are hold harmless, to maximum extent, by TomoTherapy device, which is found in only two healthcare facilities in İstanbul.
TomoTherapy is one of the most advanced radiotherapy devices and is considered one of the most efficient methods for cancer treatment. It enables targeted beams to be delivered at different doses to various types of tumors, which may also differ in size and location, all at the same time. After localization of tumor cells is identified, radiotherapy is delivered at different doses and different angles using TomoTherapy, which requires making a personal plan for each patient, and thus, not only cancer cells are most efficiently treated, but also exposure of healthy organs to high radiation is avoided.
There are only two healthcare facilities in Istanbul equipped with the TomoTherapy device, and one of its most significant advantages is its ability to deliver targeted therapy. The multi-directional spot beams used in this method help protect healthy tissues surrounding the tumor cells, resulting in fewer side effects compared to conventional radiotherapy. Additionally, the ability to deliver beams to multiple regions simultaneously provides a major advantage in treatments where time is critical.
Advantages of Treatment with Tomotherapy:
✔ Targeted Therapy
✔ Less side effect
✔ Capability of repeated treatments
✔Saving of time
✔Clinical Excellence
It enables planning and delivering precisely conformed radiation doses. Imaging guidance is idealized integrating "Computed tomography" technology into daily routine for precise patient positioning, reduction of margin and adaptive planning.
Patient Oriented Approach
Each patient receives "Personalized" and "Customized" treatment. Side effects can be minimized, since more healthy tissue is spared.
Comfort
It facilitates programming in conventional time frames. It enables treatment options which are not possible with conventional linear accelerators. It is capable with rapid and versatile treatment planning for each patient. "Quality" and "Trust" increases efficiency.
3D Procedures
Images are processed at daily intervals with real 3D computed tomography system integrated with the Tomotherapy system, and "Helical" delivery of radiation is associated with three-dimensional treatment doses.
