Radiation therapy or radiation treatment for cancer is the pillar on which the battle against cancer is built by focusing the energy of radiation on destroying cancer cells, degrading tumours, and relieving pain for cancer patients. At Health29, our services are designed to offer cutting-edge radiation treatment for cancer, personalised care for patients affected by this disease, and support them as they go through the whole cancer treatment journey and become healthy again.
Radiation therapy (both radiation therapy and radiotherapy) uses powerful X-rays and radioactive substances to target and destroy cancerous cells in the human body. It can be used as a primary therapy, with other therapies, or as symptom relief treatment for patients with advanced cancer stages. Although radiation therapy does not eliminate cancer cells immediately, it disables their infectious DNA with time and therefore, they fail to grow or multiply.
On average about 60% of cancer patients will receive radiation therapy as a part of the treatment. It is effective for the treatment of both benign and malignant tumours, as it delivers the desired therapy with little or no damage to cancer surrounding normal tissues or organs of the body. Health29 radiation oncologists apply and utilize sophisticated technologies, for example, 3D conformal radiation therapy, IMRT (intensity-modulated radiation therapy) and SRS (stereotactic radiosurgery), in the passing of radiation beams which are highly precise and effective.
Radiation therapy also results in side effects for cancer patients like skin changes, weakness, and nausea. Health29 teams up with the patients and the supportive care team for them to lower the side effects and have a better quality of life during treatment and beyond. The patients are guided individually on the best nutrition intake, rest, and symptom management to improve their ability to retain strength amidst their cancer care treatment.
As each patient is unique and different just like the fingerprints of humans, their radiation therapy plan is always personalized to fit their specific requirements and treatment targets. Our radiation oncologists use the most advanced imaging techniques and highly targeted radiation therapies to direct the right dose of radiation to the cancer-compromised parts of the body only and minimize unwanted damage to the healthy tissues nearby. The patients receive radiation treatment either alone or together with surgery, chemotherapy, hormone therapy or immunotherapy, individually, based on their specific scenario and health condition.
Before radiation treatment for cancer begins, patients are taken through comprehensive preparations and planning meetings with many experienced oncologists. Some marks may be added on the skin or near the tumour of the cancer patient’s body and are used for precise targeting. The treatment is usually delivered on a scheduled basis over a couple of weeks, and most patients continue their everyday activities both during and after treatment.
Expert healthcare providers for cancer patients are just who we are at Health29, and we are dedicated to providing competent service, superior treatments and solid support to every patient with the best radiation treatment for cancer and much more for cancer-affected patients. Our multidisciplinary team here is there to take you through all the steps of the radiation therapy process, the aim being to achieve the best possible outcomes and a good life quality. With Helath29 beating cancer with effectiveness is possible and the best part about is that it is affordable to everyone.
