Cancer is diagnosed in several ways:

Conventional, microscopic and laparoscopic surgery with tumor biopsy: These methods have developed significantly over the past two decades and contribute to determining the type, grade and stage of the tumor.

Diagnostic tests: These include various types of imaging and various analyses. These tests help determine the type and stage of cancer and whether there are other similar diseases. The results of the tests affect the method of treating cancer.

Blood tumor marker analysis: Some tumors, such as prostate and colon cancer, can be diagnosed through a blood test that indicates tumor activity. These tests are also used in follow-up after treatment to assess the condition of the tumor.

Radiotherapy is localized, so hair loss does not occur if an area other than the head is treated.
If an area of the head is treated, hair may fall out in the area near the treated area and in many cases the hair grows back after a few months.

It is important to attend all scheduled sessions. If you have to miss one, notify your healthcare team to reschedule it as soon as possible.

There are three main ways to treat cancer:

Surgery: One of the main methods of treating cancer.

Radiotherapy: It is more vague than other types of treatment and aims to preserve the organ affected by the cancer. For example, in cases of breast cancer, it can be used to provide results similar to surgical removal, or in some stages of laryngeal cancer to preserve the larynx and its function instead of removing it completely.

Drug therapy: Conventional chemotherapy, biological therapy, hormone therapy, and targeted therapy include drugs that reach the cancer in different ways.

In most cases, the sample is one of the most important stages of diagnosis. The treatment plan cannot be developed without knowing its type, origin, and degree. There are also many other diseases similar to cancer in their diagnostic form through examinations, which makes the treatment completely different.

The duration varies according to the type of cancer and the goal of treatment. In many cases, it is several weeks, and in some cases it is within a week or less. Each case is different from the other; therefore, the treating physician is the best one to clarify the number of treatment sessions.

There is a misconception that radiotherapy causes cancer, but the rates of this happening are very small and depend on several factors. The rates are very small and depend on the patient’s age, gender, treatment location, and the dose reaching healthy organs. The rates of tumors occurring due to treatment range from 1 in 100 cases, and reach 1 in 1,000, depending on the previous factors. No treatment plan is adopted until the expected benefit is much greater than any resulting harm.

Cancer grade refers to how aggressive a tumor looks under a microscope, and it varies from one tumor to another. In simple terms, each increase in grade means a greater ability to grow and spread.

Grade I (indolent): This means that the tumor is indolent or slow-growing.

Grade II (intermediate): This means that the tumor has an intermediate growth rate, and its size increases faster the longer it is left, and the risk of it spreading outside the organ is possible but not high.

Third and fourth degree (aggressive): This means that its size increases rapidly and the chances of it spreading outside the affected organ are high.

The type of device worries some patients or their families, so they tend to search for the device more than they search for the treatment team. It must be remembered that the device is just a tool, and that the treatment team is the main factor for the success of any treatment, God willing. Most modern devices use advanced technologies to direct radiation with high accuracy to tumors, which reduces the effect of radiation on the surrounding healthy tissues.

Radiotherapy often has no effect, but if it is combined with chemotherapy, which directly affects the immune system, it is important to take precautions to avoid infection during treatment.

Radiation therapy is a type of medical treatment that uses x-rays to treat diseases, especially cancer.

Diagnostic radiation, such as CT scans, has low doses and low energies that interact with the body’s tissues according to their density, showing an accurate image that describes the body’s internal details. As for therapeutic radiation, it is given in high and intense doses and energies, so it becomes destructive to its target. These doses are often not given at once for reasons including: alleviating the symptoms of treatment, leaving a chance for healthy tissues to recover, as the recovery system for cancer cells is often damaged, unlike healthy tissues.

The number of sessions and the method of treatment are determined based on certain protocols and the assessment of the patient's condition by the treating physician. Each patient is different and these decisions depend on the type of disease, its stage, the location and size of the tumor, and other factors.

Customized radiation therapy: The center provides customized radiation therapy for each case, using the latest medical technologies to ensure the effectiveness of the treatment and reduce side effects.

Specialized team: The center includes a team of specialized radiation therapy doctors and qualified technicians, with a focus on providing individual care and psychological support to patients.

Modern technology: The center is distinguished by providing modern technology in the field of radiation, such as laser therapy and sensing techniques that contribute to increasing the accuracy of treatment and reducing its negative effects.

Ease of access to the service: The center is interested in raising the level of comfort for patients by providing services that facilitate the patient’s access to his daily treatment and access to information and service with ease and without effort.

The cancer grade refers to how aggressive the tumor appears under a microscope, and it varies from one tumor to another. In simple terms, each increase in the grade means a greater ability to grow and spread.
Grade I (indolent): This means that the tumor is indolent or slow-growing.
Second degree (intermediate): It means that the tumor growth rate is moderate, and its size increases faster the longer it is left, and the rate of its spread outside the organ is possible but not high.
Grade III and IV (aggressive): This means that the tumor is growing rapidly and has a high risk of spreading outside the affected organ.

There is a misconception that radiotherapy causes cancer, but the rates of this happening are very small and depend on several factors.

No treatment plan is adopted until the expected benefit is much greater than any resulting harm.

Regular follow-up varies from one patient to another based on the type of tumor, the location of treatment, and the patient’s health condition. Each case requires a customized follow-up plan that suits the patient’s needs and circumstances.
