RADIATION THERAPY
State-of-the-Science- Treatment
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays or particles to kill cancer cells to improve tumor control and help improve the survival rates of patients. Radiation therapy may be combined with surgery and chemotherapy to achieve these objectives. The MMC Radiation Oncology Section is staffed by a team of oncology experts who make use of advanced technology for radiation treatment planning and delivery. MakatiMed’s radiation therapy services include External Beam Radiation Therapy, High Dose Rate Brachytherapy, Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS), Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT), and Total Marrow and Lymphoid Irradiation (TMLI). MakatiMed was the first in the Philippines to offer image-guided radiation treatment via TomoTherapy.
