At Sunway Medical Centre Penang, our Radiotherapy Department is equipped with advanced technology to provide precise and effective radiation therapy for cancer patients.

Our services include:

• Radiation Therapy for Cancer Treatment – Delivering targeted radiation to treat various types of cancer while minimizing impact on healthy tissues.

• Advanced Radiotherapy Techniques:

  • Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT): A highly precise technique that delivers radiation in a continuous arc, reducing treatment time and increasing accuracy.
  • Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT): Offers high-dose radiation treatment to small tumors in the body with extreme precision, typically in fewer sessions.
  • Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS): A non-invasive procedure that uses focused radiation to treat abnormalities in the brain.
  • Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT): Delivers radiation with pinpoint accuracy to specific areas in the body, sparing healthy surrounding tissues.

While both SRS and SRT target brain abnormalities with the same concept of focused radiation, SRS is typically completed in one visit, offering a faster treatment option compared to SRT, which usually requires multiple visits.

Gated 4DCT Treatments

Our department also offers Gated 4DCT treatments, allowing for better tumour tracking and ensuring that radiation is delivered more accurately. This enhanced precision helps to spare more of the healthy surrounding tissues, making treatment safer and more effective.

Our experienced team ensures that every patient receives personalized care using the latest innovations in radiation therapy to achieve the best possible outcomes.
