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.
