“This treatment method helps to implement the<br />

treatment correctly and reduce side effects by tracking<br />

the position of the tumor tissue and surrounding healthy<br />

tissues during radiation therapy. It allows us to effectively<br />

monitor the patient throughout the radiotherapy process<br />

and can follow the position of tumor tissues and internal<br />

organ anatomy at every stage of treatment. In this way, it<br />

is possible to apply radiation more precisely to cancerous<br />

cells and to affect healthy tissues less.”<br />

Increases the response rate to treatment<br />

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nilay Şengül from Department of Medical<br />

Oncology of Medicana Ataköy Hospital, said, “After<br />

the diagnosis of cancer is made, the disease is staged.<br />

Treatment options are different at each stage. There are<br />

types of cancer for which radiotherapy is used in addition<br />

to systemic treatment in advanced stages. Especially in<br />

the metastatic stage, radiotherapy is also used to form a<br />

whole. Not only the developments in medical oncology,<br />

but also the developments in radiotherapy are followed,”<br />

she said, stating that this treatment method increases<br />

the response rate to treatment and emphasizes that it<br />

helps to provide local control.<br />

Bu sayede radyasyonun kanserli hücrelere daha kesin<br />

bir şekilde uygulanması ve sağlıklı dokuların daha az<br />

etkilenmesi mümkündür” diye konuştu.<br />

Tedaviye yanıt oranını arttırıyor<br />

Medicana Ataköy Hastanesi Medikal Onkoloji Bölümü’nden<br />

Doç. Dr. Nilay Şengül ise, “Kanser tanısı konulduktan<br />

sonra hastalık evreleniyor. Her evrede tedavi seçeneği<br />

ise farklı. İleri evrelerde sistemik tedavinin yanı sıra<br />

radyoterapinin de kullanıldığı kanser tipleri var. Özellikle<br />

metastatik evrede radyoterapi de kullanılarak bir bütün<br />

oluyor. Sadece medikal onkolojideki gelişmeler değil,<br />

radyoterapideki gelişmeler de takip ediliyor” diyerek<br />

bu tedavi yönteminin, tedaviye yanıt oranını arttırdığını<br />

belirterek, lokal kontrol sağlamaya yardımcı olduğunu<br />

vurguladı.<br />
