Radiation tumor department

Introduction of the medical department

The Department of Radiation Oncology is a specialized clinical department that mainly treats malignant tumors (cancer) using high-energy ionizing radiation (X-rays and electron beams). It is comprised of two professional medical staff, a medical physicist, a therapeutic radiologist, and a nurse. Radiation therapy is one of the three major tumor treatment methods, along with surgery and chemotherapy. Radiation therapy kills cancer cells by causing ionization when ionizing radiation (X-rays or electron beams) passes through the cancerous area of the human body.

Major Diseases

Breast cancer, lung cancer, rectal cancer, prostate cancer, head and neck cancer, bone metastasis, brain metastasis, cervical cancer, etc.
