Tomotherapy

Tomotherapy is a system for high-tech radiation therapy that allows for highly precise irradiation of tumors of significant length and, in certain clinical cases, of the entire body of the patient.

Tomotherapy is a modern type of radiation therapy that fundamentally changes the standard approach. Unlike traditional radiation therapy, where radiation is delivered statically, tomotherapy is performed in motion.

The tomotherapy machine sequentially irradiates the patient along the entire length of the body, ensuring precise targeting of the tumor while minimizing the impact on healthy tissues.

Main Advantages of Tomotherapy

Highest Precision:

The technology allows for submillimeter-accurate targeting of tumors with complex shapes and large sizes.

Maximum Protection of Healthy Tissues:

Controlled radiation minimizes exposure to surrounding organs and tissues, reducing the risk of side effects.

Ability for Total Body Irradiation (TBI):

In certain clinical cases, the device can be used for whole-body irradiation, which is critically important when preparing for bone marrow transplantation.

Who is tomotherapy especially indicated for?

Tomotherapy is used to treat central nervous system tumors, complex spinal lesions, as well as in preparation for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In the case of aggressive hematologic diseases, total body irradiation is the preferred option for pre-transplant conditioning, as it allows for the most effective consolidation of results.

This technology becomes a lifeline for patients with lymphomas, leukemias, and other conditions requiring TBI (total body irradiation).

High-Tech Radiation Therapy

The introduction of tomotherapy at the A. Tsyb Medical Radiological Research Centre (MRRC) – the branch of the National Medical Research Radiological Centre of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federationis a clear example of how modern technologies are changing the approach to treating cancer. The ability to precisely target complex and extensive tumors, minimize damage to healthy tissues, and carry out procedures such as total body irradiation greatly expands the arsenal of oncologists and gives new hope to patients, even with the most serious diagnoses. The center confirms its status as a leading institution where the future of medicine becomes reality today.

Accessibility of Innovative Treatment:
Russian patients have access to world-class standards of radiation therapy without the need to go abroad.

New Technological Level:
Domestic oncology is strengthening its position, offering a comprehensive approach – from diagnosis to treatment – using the most advanced equipment.

Treatment under High-Tech Medical Care:
All procedures are carried out within the framework of providing high-tech medical care (HTMC), which makes innovative treatment accessible to patients.
