Details

Gyro Knife (Gyro Knife Cobalt-60)

  • Function: Non-invasive gamma knife radiotherapy system.

  • Indications: Brain tumors, lung cancer, spinal cord tumors, head and neck tumors.

  • Ideal for: Patients unsuitable for craniotomy or those requiring precise localization.

  • Clinical Use: Precision-targeted treatment, tumor localization irradiation.


VMAT Linear Accelerator (Elekta VMAT)

  • Function: Arc-based intensity-modulated radiotherapy system for rapid radiation delivery.

  • Indications: Breast cancer, prostate cancer, esophageal cancer, etc.

  • Ideal for: Patients requiring high doses and high tissue protection.

  • Clinical Use: Conventional radiotherapy, combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy regimen.


3D Conformal Radiotherapy (3D-CRT)

  • Function: Designs radiation beam shapes based on the tumor's shape.

  • Indications: Lung cancer, liver cancer, bladder cancer, etc.

  • Ideal for: Patients undergoing conventional radiotherapy who wish to reduce side effects.

  • Clinical Use: Radiation for early to middle-stage cancers, adjuvant therapy.


Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT)

  • Function: Modulates radiation intensity to achieve non-uniform irradiation distribution.

  • Indications: Nasopharyngeal cancer, prostate cancer, head and neck tumors.

  • Ideal for: Tumors located near important organs.

  • Clinical Use: High-precision, refined treatment.


Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT)

  • Function: Real-time image guidance to improve radiotherapy precision.

  • Indications: Tumors with significant mobility (such as lung and liver tumors).

  • Ideal for: Patients requiring precise targeting of the radiotherapy area.

  • Clinical Use: High-precision, personalized radiotherapy.


Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT)

  • Function: High-dose, precise radiotherapy for small volume lesions.

  • Indications: Lung cancer, liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, brain metastasis.

  • Ideal for: Patients who cannot undergo surgery or those with postoperative recurrence.

  • Clinical Use: Non-surgical curative treatment, control of small lesions.


High Dose Rate Brachytherapy (HDR Brachytherapy)

  • Function: Direct irradiation of the tumor through a cavity or tissue-based radiation source.

  • Indications: Cervical cancer, rectal cancer, prostate cancer, etc.

  • Ideal for: Localized solid tumors, tumors accessible via a cavity.

  • Clinical Use: Local control, combined chemotherapy and radiotherapy strategies.


Radiofrequency Hyperthermia (HY7000 Hyperthermia)

  • Function: Localized heating to enhance sensitivity to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

  • Indications: Breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, uterine cancer, liver cancer, etc.

  • Ideal for: Patients with advanced tumors or those who respond poorly to radiotherapy and chemotherapy.

  • Clinical Use: Combined thermochemotherapy, palliative treatment.
