Cancer Center at AKH
The oncology center was opened in 2011. Each patient in the center receives an individual treatment plan. The tactics of therapy are developed jointly by several specialists, including oncologists, surgeons, and radiologists.
The AKH Cancer Center features state-of-the-art equipment and technology. This allows accurate diagnosis, radiation and chemotherapy, immunotherapy, hormonal and targeted therapy, surgery to remove tumors, bone marrow transplantation, and other types of treatment.
International protocols for the treatment of oncology are used in AKH. The radiologists of the clinic use the latest developments in the field of radiation therapy:
- IGRT is image-guided radiation therapy using a variety of imaging modalities such as CT scans, ultrasound, or X-rays. The goal of IGRT is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of radiation therapy, and to reduce the risk of damage to healthy tissues and organs. IGRT is used to treat a variety of cancers, especially those that can move or change in size during treatment. For example, the method is effective in lung and prostate cancer. IGRT allows to adapt the dose and direction of radiation according to the current position of the tumor and the anatomy of the patient.
- SIRT is selective internal radiation therapy used to treat primary and secondary liver cancers. During SIRT, microspheres with a radioactive substance are injected into the hepatic artery, which deliver radiation directly to the tumor cells. SIRT allows to destroy or stop the growth of the tumor while minimizing damage to healthy tissues and organs.
Both of these radiotherapy methods allow for more precise and effective approaches to cancer treatment, improving outcomes and minimizing side effects on healthy tissue.
