Radiation Oncology Outpatient Waiting Room

Greetings

The Department of Radiation Oncology is a new medical department specializing in radiation therapy. Previously, it functioned as a part of the Department of Radiation Oncology, but was separated into two departments to further enhance its expertise.
We will continue to work in cooperation with the various clinical departments at our hospital to provide better cancer treatment, so we appreciate your continued support.

Characteristics of the department

Establishment of a Radiation Therapy Center

In addition to the existing staff, the Radiation Therapy Center will have a new medical physics room with a full-time medical physicist and a certified cancer radiation therapy nurse, starting with a new system suited to the high-precision radiation therapy of the future.

High-precision radiation therapy

• 
  OXRAY radiation therapy device
• 
  TrueBeam radiation therapy device

In addition to conventional three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy, we will continue to respond to the ever-advancing radiation therapy, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT), and stereotactic body radiation therapy for lung cancer and liver cancer.

Brachytherapy

• 
  Brachytherapy device

We have introduced a brachytherapy device using the Remote Afterloading System (RALS), which allows us to complete radical radiation therapy for uterine cancer and other conditions at our hospital.
