The Radiotherapy Department specializes in providing radiotherapy treatment. Radiation therapy is equally effective as surgery in treatment of radical cancers, and offers body-friendly treatment which can be tailored to suit elderly patients or patients with complications. It is also used as an effective means to alleviate various types of pain, including cancer pain. When establishing a treatment plan, we fine-tune the irradiated area to strike only the cancerous tumor, avoiding harm to healthy tissue. This allows treatment of cancer without impairing the body’s normal function.
