Severance University Hospital: Oncology department

Republic of Korea, Seoul

Every year 240 thousand cancer patients choose Sevrans, this is 650 calls every day. Therefore, the oncologists of this center have experience in treating rare and severe forms of diseases.

Innovative technologies

For the first time in Asia, the Severance Clinic presented the ultra-precise Versa HD radiation therapy device. The machine features not only controlled intensity radiation therapy, but also image-tracking radiation therapy. It is a particularly effective device for performing image guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). It provides safe and effective treatment, even when the cancer is complex and very close to normal tissue.

Benefits of Stereotactic Radiation Therapy:

  • reduces the number of procedures up to 1-4 times compared to conventional radiation therapy, which was carried out for one to two months.
  • the dose is 1.5–2 times higher, therefore, the therapeutic effect is much higher compared to traditional radiation therapy.
  • Ultra-precise high-dose radiation exposure minimizes the radiation dose to surrounding normal tissues, increases control of tumor growth rate and reduces side effects.

    Why people choose Severance clinic for stomach cancer?

    Three major advances in the treatment of this disease:
    More than 1,000 surgeries per year to remove stomach cancer are an indicator of the world’s leading specialized centers.
    More than 900 endoscopic surgeries to remove precancerous lesions — the level of diagnosis allows detecting a tumor at an early stage.
    Korea’s first robotic stomach cancer surgery was performed here. Since then, 2000 operations have been performed with the Da Vinci robot.

    Why do patients with esophageal cancer choose Severance clinic?

    The main reason is the Da Vinci robotic system. On the 14th day after robotic surgery for esophageal cancer, the pain score (1-10 points) is very low, on average 3 points, and there is no chronic neurological pain as after a conventional operation. The operation does not require traction of the lungs and preserves the vagus nerve and collateral blood vessels as much as possible, which makes it possible to reduce the incidence of pneumonia, the most difficult complication.
