TrueBeam in Jinshazhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine

Radiation therapy using the Varian TrueBeam system is available at Jinshazhou Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine in Guangzhou, China. This technology provides sub-millimeter precision for treating tumors in the lungs, liver, brain, and prostate. Prof. Dr. Wang Yang leads the radiotherapy team, bringing international expertise to advanced cancer care in South China.

Advanced Precision with TrueBeam

The Varian TrueBeam system at Jinshazhou Hospital uses dynamic tracking to handle tumors that move when a patient breathes. This is especially helpful for lung and liver cancers. The system monitors itself every 10 milliseconds, checking over 100,000 data points during each session. This real-time verification helps the beam hit the tumor while protecting the healthy tissue nearby. Patients do not need to hold their breath during the procedure because the beam adjusts to their natural movement.

Multidisciplinary Cancer Care

Before starting treatment, every patient undergoes a multi-disciplinary team (MDT) consultation. This meeting includes surgeons, oncologists, and imaging specialists to create a personalized plan. Prof. Dr. Wang Yang, a professor and Director of the Radiotherapy Center, oversees this process. The hospital also employs Dr. Wei Xiapin, a Chief Radiotherapy Physicist who specializes in adaptive radiotherapy planning and system positioning. These experts work together to manage the dose delivery and beam adjustments for each individual case.

Modern Hospital Facilities

Jinshazhou Hospital is a Tertiary Class-III General Hospital with 1,500 beds and 31 laminar-flow operating rooms. The facility houses a specialized radiotherapy suite that includes the TrueBeam system alongside other technologies like CyberKnife and Ethos. This variety allows the medical team to choose the exact method that fits the patient's specific tumor type. Most radiation sessions are performed as outpatient procedures, allowing patients to stay in nearby accommodations rather than a hospital ward.

Targeted Conditions

The TrueBeam linear accelerator treats a wide range of cancers, including:

• Nasopharyngeal and laryngeal tumors in the head and neck.
• Thoracic cancers such as lung and esophageal tumors.
• Abdominal and pelvic conditions involving the liver, rectum, or cervix.
• Neurological and urological cases including brain and prostate tumors.
