Stereotactic radiotherapy is one of the most advanced forms of radiotherapy. It is designed to achieve the delivery of very concentrated and precise beams of radiation to tumours while minimising the irradiation of any surrounding tissue, which makes it invaluable when tackling tumours and cancerous cells in or adjacent to the brain. If you are […]
The ultimate goal of the surgeon is to do no harm, and in the field of cancer care and treatment, this means using the most precise, minimally invasive procedures and tools necessary to preserve and prolong life. One of the greatest oncological innovations that abides by this principle is Gamma Knife, a highly advanced radiosurgical […]
Radiotherapy is a cornerstone of cancer care. It plays a vital role in controlling disease, relieving symptoms, and improving outcomes for patients across the world. Despite its clinical effectiveness and cost-efficiency, access to radiotherapy remains unequal—particularly in low-resource regions—and wider public awareness of its benefits continues to fall short. In response to this global […]
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare is accelerating rapidly, with market size growing by 233% between 2020 and 2023 – and projections suggesting a further 40% increase by the end of 2025. While many specialties such as diagnostics, genomics, and patient monitoring have integrated AI at pace, neurosurgery – known for its complexity […]
The first treatment for cancer that comes to mind to people who are not necessarily familiar with oncology is chemotherapy, and private chemotherapy treatment is not only highly effective but also focuses on ensuring a high quality of life before, during and after the course is complete. There are a lot of different types of chemotherapy, but […]
Serbian news platform Lepa & Srecna has published a feature about Amethyst Radiotherapy Austria and the work the group is doing to help patients along their breast cancer journey, showcasing innovative radiotherapy treatments that are successful in treating malignant tumours without damaging the surrounding healthy breast tissue. Working in this way means that full breast […]
Treating cancer using radiation therapy is about using precisely managed and targeted radioactivity to destroy malignant tissue whilst sparing healthy tissue surrounding it. In some cases, this is undertaken using an external radiotherapy beam, such as with the Gamma Knife method. However, there are other cases where the most precise way to deliver doses of […]
Radiotherapy is used to treat all kinds of cancer. It uses radiation to destroy cancer cells by damaging the DNA of those cells. This radiation is targeted to the site of the tumour to cure or shrink the tumour. The aim is always to direct as much of the radiation as possible at the cancerous […]
Cancer patients can be treated in a wide range of ways, but while it is usually the case that your treatment will involve a combination of different treatments, radiotherapy is commonly used as part of the treatment programme. Whether you have had surgery to remove part or all of a tumour, are taking anti-cancer drugs […]
