At the Center of Oncology there are subsections of radiotherapy, brachytherapy, chemotherapy, genetic oncology, neuro- and psychooncology, the center of breast cancer treatment. High-precision equipment and innovative methods are used here, so patients have access to advanced methods of diagnosis and treatment of cancer:
FoundationOne genetic test is an analysis of a tumor for the presence of genetic mutations. It helps to choose the most effective drug and predict the success of immunotherapy.
Radiation therapy equipment: Novalis TrueBeam STx. With their help, the doctor affects the neoplasm with millimeter precision and does not touch healthy tissues. Radiotherapy is conducted by doctors using RapidArc technology with extremely precise impact on the tumor itself. This increases the effectiveness of treatment and minimizes the risk of damage to healthy tissue.
