Treatment at Icon Cancer Centre Jiangxian

Radiation therapy

Radiation therapy uses radiation to destroy cancer cells, reduce their growth or relieve symptoms of cancer. Find out more about radiation treatment at Icon Cancer Centre Jiangxian.

Radiation therapy techniques at Icon Cancer Centre Jiangxian

Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH)

Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH) is a technique for left-sided breast cancer patients that reduces the potential impact of radiation on the heart.

External beam radiation therapy (EBRT)

External beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is a type of radiation therapy that uses one or more beams to deliver high energy x-rays to a cancerous tumour.

Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)

Intensity modulated radiation therapy [IMRT] is high precision radiation therapy that delivers high dose radiation to cancerous tumours, while limiting impact on healthy surrounding tissue.

Image guided radiation therapy (IGRT)

Image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) is a radiation therapy technique that utilises the most advanced imaging equipment and computer software.

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT)

Volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) involves the use of external radiation therapy beams being directed in a series of arcs or angles to allow for greater access to a cancerous tumour.

Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy is a special form of internal radiation therapy where a radioactive source is placed beside or inside the tumour, to deliver radiation to small areas over a period of time.

Stereotactic radiation therapy

Stereotactic technology is an advanced technique used to treat small tumours with well-defined edges in the brain, spine or lung, including tumours that have spread from a primary cancer.

Superficial radiation therapy

Superficial radiation therapy is a non-invasive treatment for early non-melanoma skin cancer that can be an effective alternative to surgery.

Calypso

Calypso involves using radiofrequency transponders which are surgically placed in tumours to track and adjust radiation treatment beams due to natural movements of the body, such as breathing.

Triggered imaging

Triggered imaging is a technique unique to the TrueBeam linear accelerator (radiation therapy machine) and enables visual verification that a tumour is being accurately and precisely targeted. It is specifically used for prostate cancers.

Surface Guided Radiation Therapy (SGRT)

Surface Guided Radiation Therapy is a tattoo-free radiation therapy alternative that uses advanced camera technology to facilitate 3D tracking of the skin’s surface during set-up and treatment.

Hydrogel

SpaceOAR Hydrogel is a gel-like substance that is implanted between the prostate and rectum to reduce side effects during radiation therapy treatment.

HyperArc

HyperArc accurately targets multiple tumours while ensuring limited doses of radiation to surrounding healthy brain tissue.

Adaptive therapy

Adaptive radiation therapy uses advanced technology to adjust daily treatment in real-time based on changes to internal or external anatomy

Lutetium-177 PSMA Therapy

Adaptive radiation therapy uses advanced technology to adjust daily treatment in real-time based on changes to internal or external anatomy

DCISionRT

An important precision medicine tool for patients diagnosed with Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS) post core biopsy or lumpectomy.
