At the Group Florence Nightingale Hospitals Department of Radiation Oncology, we believe that including standard modern devices is absolutely necessary, but not enough. It’s the experience that makes the difference.
Radiotherapy is a team job, and we have an experienced radiation oncology team.
Our department was the first in Turkey which performed 3-D conformal radiotherapy technique in 1998. Having accumulated extensive experience in conformal radiotherapy technique, then we had a pioneering role in density adjusted radiotherapy (YART) technique use in Turkey in 2005. We are proud to be the Oncology Department, which has the most extensive experience in YART in our country.
The Radiation Oncology Department which began to apply radiotherapy with radiometric density adjustment with RapidArc device since 2010, the treatment time of our patients with this method is quite shorter and the patient’s decreased duration of stay in the treatment device. The shortening of this period also minimizes positional changes due to the prolongation of the patient’s stay at the table, allowing to increase set-up accuracy and increase the effectiveness of treatment.
At our department, our other outstanding high-tech devices are;
Additionally, we have been doing radiotherapy with golden markers for 10 years, especially in radiotherapy of prostate cancer. We monitor prostate movement during treatment with electromagnetic transmitter inserted into the prostate, and stop therapy when excessive movement is observed while treating millimetric prostate cancer. This is advantageous, because high doses of radiotherapy can be administered more effectively in a shorter time.
For the last 2 years, we have been able to remove the rectum (intestine) from the cloud of high dose with gel injected between the rectum and the prostate, and many intestinal side effects of radiotherapy are overcome.
