RADIOTHERAPY
At Clínica Abreu , together with CDD Radioterapia , we offer the most advanced radiotherapy techniques in the world, designed to provide maximum precision and effectiveness in the treatment of cancer. Thanks to our cutting-edge technology, we have implemented innovative methods that ensure personalized treatment, minimizing the impact on healthy tissues and improving clinical results. Discover how our techniques, such as IMRT , IGRT , SBRT , FastForward , Cardiac Radioablation , Radiosurgery (known as Gamma Knife) and PET-CT Guided Radiotherapy , are transforming oncology care in the Dominican Republic.
IMRT (Radioterapia de Intensidad Modulada)
La IMRT es una de las técnicas más avanzadas de radioterapia, que permite moldear con precisión la distribución de la dosis de radiación en el tumor. Utiliza haces de radiación de diferentes intensidades que se ajustan con precisión al contorno del tumor, minimizando el impacto en los tejidos sanos circundantes. La gran ventaja de la IMRT es su capacidad para tratar tumores de formas irregulares o cercanos a órganos críticos, lo que reduce los efectos secundarios y mejora la calidad de vida del paciente durante el tratamiento.
IGRT (Image Guided Radiation Therapy)
IGRT is a technique that combines radiotherapy with high-resolution imaging, such as CT or MRI scans, just before each treatment session. This allows for real-time correction of the tumor's position, adjusting the radiation to daily changes in the patient's anatomy, such as tumor movement due to breathing or changes in tumor size. IGRT improves treatment precision, ensuring that radiation is directed exactly to the affected area, minimizing damage to healthy tissue.
SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy)
SBRT is a noninvasive technique that delivers high doses of radiation in a small number of sessions. It is ideal for small tumors or those that cannot be treated by surgery, such as lung, liver or spine tumors. The millimeter precision of SBRT allows for the detection of small tumors. SBRT allows radiation to be concentrated on the tumor with great precision, which minimizes the risk of damage to healthy tissue. As fewer sessions are required, the treatment is more comfortable and faster for the patient, with excellent clinical results.
Each of these techniques represents Clínica Abreu and CDD Radioterapia's commitment to innovation and excellence in cancer treatment, providing our patients with access to the best technology available to fight this disease safely and effectively.
