Acibadem Sistina Hospital will soon engage in performing one of the most advanced radiotherapy techniques – Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) - using the new TrueBeam Linear Accelerator. With this, our hospital and the expert team of the Radiotherapy Department will provide oncology patients with radiotherapy compliant with the global standards.
Prof. Deva Petrova, MD, PhD, specialist in oncology and radiotherapy, asserted that radiotherapy is an important segment in the treatment of patients with malignant diseases. Progress in this branch of medicine has a great impact on the treatment success in oncology patients, hence the need for all innovations in radiotherapy to become available to our patients.
"VMAT is an advanced radiotherapy technique characterized by improved performance compared to standard treatments such as the IMRT. VMAT allows for an individualized approach and exceptional precision in the radiation treatment realization. Treatment planning plays a key role, where the oncology team uses advanced diagnostic techniques such as CT, MRI or PET Scan to determine the target volume and organs at risk," elaborates Dr. Petrova.
TrueBeam Accelerator is a revolutionary radiotherapy device, providing the opportunity to use contemporary radiation techniques such as: VMAT, SBRT, SRS. One of the major advantages of this device is the possibility of using radiosurgery - SRS, which in certain cases replaces traditional surgery in malignant and some benign diseases. These radiation techniques direct the dose to the tumour to the maximum and allows minimal damage to healthy tissues and organs, thus reducing the side effects of the therapy.
