Treatment Facilities

Our imaging and radiation therapy suites provide comprehensive diagnostic and imaging and radiation therapy services supported by a team of inhouse radiologists, radiation oncologist, physicists, clinicians and allied health professionals.

Located at 3 levels, our suites offer a full spectrum of imaging services from routine screenings to complex diagnostic and radiation therapy procedures. Adopting a patient-centric approach, our patients' comfort and well-being are our priority. Our integrated centre allows for treatment to be done in a single location.

Part of a comprehensive healthcare network and with a focus on seamless coordination of care, we work together with our panel of specialists to provide effective treatment plans.

Diagnostic Imaging in Cancer Care

Diagnostic imaging plays a crucial role in cancer treatment, providing detailed visuals of the inside of your body to help doctors:

Detect cancer early: Spotting tumors and abnormalities even before symptoms appear.
Determine the extent of cancer: Accurately staging the cancer to guide treatment decisions.
Plan treatment strategies: Mapping out the precise location and size of tumors for surgery, radiation therapy, or other interventions.
Monitor treatment effectiveness: Tracking how tumors respond to treatment and making adjustments as needed.

Common imaging techniques

X-rays: Used to visualize bones and detect tumors in the lungs or breasts.
CT scans: Provide detailed 3D images of organs and tissues to locate tumors and assess their size and spread.
MRI scans: Use magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues, particularly useful for brain, spine, and musculoskeletal cancers.
PET scans: Help visualize the metabolic activity of tumors, aiding in diagnosis and monitoring treatment response.
Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to create images, often used for breast cancer detection and biopsies.

Diagnostic imaging is a vital tool in the fight against cancer, helping to improve diagnosis, treatment planning, and patient outcomes.

Our Diagnostic Imaging Suites are situated at Level 2 and Level 11.

Radiation Therapy in Cancer Care

Radiation therapy uses high-energy rays to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumors. It's a cornerstone of cancer treatment, often used in conjunction with surgery, chemotherapy, or other therapies.

How does it work?

Radiation damages the DNA of cancer cells, preventing them from growing and dividing. This targeted approach aims to destroy cancer cells while minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissues.

Types of radiation therapy

External beam radiation therapy: Delivers radiation from outside the body using a machine called a linear accelerator.
Internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy): Places radioactive material directly inside or near the tumor.

What cancers are treated with radiation therapy?

Radiation therapy is effective for a wide range of cancers, including:

Breast cancer
Prostate cancer
Lung cancer
Head and neck cancers
Skin cancer
Gynecological cancers

Benefits of radiation therapy

Non-invasive: Many forms of radiation therapy are non-invasive, requiring no incisions.
Targeted treatment: Focuses on the tumor, minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
Effective for various cancers: Can be used to treat many types of cancer at different stages.
Can be used alone or with other treatments: Often combined with surgery or chemotherapy for optimal results.

Our Radiation Therapy Suite is situated at Level 3.

Nuclear Medicine Imaging in Cancer Care

Nuclear medicine imaging uses small amounts of radioactive materials to create pictures of the inside of your body. It's a powerful tool in cancer treatment, helping doctors:

Pinpoint cancer's location: Identify the precise location of tumors, even small ones that may be missed by other imaging techniques.
Assess cancer spread: Determine if cancer has spread to lymph nodes or other organs.
Guide treatment decisions: Help doctors choose the most effective treatment plan, whether it's surgery, radiation therapy, or targeted therapies.
Monitor treatment response: Evaluate how well treatment is working and detect any recurrence early.

Common Nuclear Medicine scans

Bone scans: Detect cancer that has spread to the bones.
PET scans: Show the metabolic activity of tumors, helping to distinguish between benign and malignant growths.
Thyroid scans: Evaluate thyroid cancer and its spread.
Sentinel lymph node biopsies: Identify the first lymph node(s) to which cancer is likely to spread.

Nuclear medicine imaging offers unique insights into cancer, providing critical information for diagnosis, staging, treatment planning, and monitoring. It's a valuable tool in the fight against cancer, helping to improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
