Treatment at Icon Cancer Centre Chongqing

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 Chongqing.

Radiation therapy techniques at Icon Cancer Centre Chongqing

TomoTherapy

TomoTherapy allows continuous delivery of radiation beams from all angles by using a slice by slice process, or one layer at a time which enables all areas of a tumour to receive radiation.

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]

IGRT is a radiation therapy that utilises the most advanced imaging equipment and computer software. An image is taken before radiation commences to guide the treatment and ensure the degree of accuracy can be maintained from day to day.

Volumetric modulated arc therapy [VMAT]

Volumetric modulated arc therapy [VMAT] is the latest in radiation treatment delivery and involves the use of external radiation therapy beams which are directed in a series of arcs or angles to allow for greater access to a cancerous tumour, reducing the length of treatment and patient discomfort.

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. It is especially useful for certain types of cancers including gynaecological, urological, and head and neck cancers.

Stereotactic Radiation Therapy

Stereotactic technology is an advanced technique used to treat small tumours with well-defined edge, in the brain, spine or lung.

Skin brachytherapy

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

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.

HyperArc

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

Proton Beam Therapy

Proton Beam Therapy uses protons to target and destroy cancer cells.
