Radiation Oncology

Radiation Oncology

The Radiation Oncology Department at Burjeel Cancer Institute provides state-of-the-art radiation therapy to treat various types of cancer. Our advanced technologies and expert team ensure precise targeting of tumors while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. This system delivers a variety of advanced radiotherapy techniques, including Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), and Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT) 

Conditions We Treat

Radiation therapy is an effective treatment option for a wide range of cancers, including:

  • Breast cancer
  • Lung cancer
  • Prostate cancer
  • Head and Neck cancers
  • Colorectal cancer
  • Brain Tumors
  • Liver cancer
  • Cervical and Other Gynecological cancers
  • Bone and Soft Tissue Sarcomas
  • Lymphoma and Leukemia
  • Metastatic cancers

Treatment Options

Treatment Options

We offer several advanced radiation therapy techniques to treat cancer with precision and effectiveness:

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)

Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)

A high-precision radiation technique that allows for modulation of radiation doses to spare healthy tissues.


Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) & Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) & Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)

Delivers high doses of radiation to small, well-defined tumors in fewer treatment sessions.

 
Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)

Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT)

A form of IMRT that delivers radiation in a 360-degree arc, enhancing treatment speed and precision.


Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)

Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)

Uses real-time imaging to ensure precise delivery of radiation.


Brachytherapy

Brachytherapy

Internal radiation treatment, particularly effective for cancers such as prostate and cervical cancer.


Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT)

Intraoperative Radiation Therapy (IORT)

Administers radiation during surgery, particularly useful for breast and gastrointestinal cancers.

Our Approach to Treatment

We employ a multidisciplinary approach to radiation oncology, ensuring the most effective treatment plan is tailored to each patient. Our approach includes:

Personalized Treatment Plans

Personalized Treatment Plans

Radiation treatment plans are developed based on detailed imaging, tumor location, and cancer type, ensuring optimal targeting and minimal impact on surrounding tissues.

 

Multidisciplinary Collaboration

Multidisciplinary Collaboration

Radiation oncologists work closely with medical oncologists, surgeons, radiologists, and pathologists to deliver coordinated, comprehensive care.



Advanced Technology Integration
