Radiation Oncology
The Department of Radiation Oncology at Ilsan Paik Hospital specializes in the treatment of various malignant tumors (cancers), selected benign tumors, and certain non-malignant conditions using high-energy radiation. Radiation therapy plays a critical role alongside surgery and chemotherapy in comprehensive cancer treatment.
With the advancement of radiation therapy equipment and computerized treatment planning systems, we are able to deliver highly precise radiation focused on tumors while minimizing exposure to normal tissues. This enables effective treatment outcomes with reduced side effects.
State-of-the-art radiation therapy equipment combined with precision planning systems allows accurate targeting of tumors based on their exact size, shape, and location.
High-dose radiation is concentrated on tumors while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, reducing complications and enhancing treatment safety.
Treatment is tailored based on tumor stage and the patient’s overall condition, combining radiation therapy with surgery and chemotherapy when necessary to provide individualized, integrated cancer care.
Treatment duration and strategy are customized according to the therapeutic goal.
Through CT simulation and computerized treatment planning, radiation dose calculations and validation are completed before actual treatment, ensuring safe and highly accurate therapy.
With continuous technological advancements, radiation therapy is becoming increasingly essential in cancer care worldwide, and Ilsan Paik Hospital delivers care that meets these global standards.
The Department of Radiation Oncology at Ilsan Paik Hospital is committed to providing high-precision cancer treatment that maximizes therapeutic outcomes while minimizing side effects. We strive to improve survival rates and enhance patients’ quality of life through advanced medical care.
