Radiotherapy in Xiamen Humanity Hospital
About the clinic
Radiotherapy at Xiamen Humanity Hospital in Xiamen, China, uses advanced linear accelerators to target tumors with high precision. The hospital was built following international JCI standards to provide a safe environment for oncology patients. This facility is known for being the first accelerator-based Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) center in mainland China.
Advanced Radiation Technology
The oncology department uses the Varian VitalBeam linear accelerator. This system performs Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT). It helps doctors target tumors accurately while protecting the surrounding healthy tissues. The clinic also uses six-degree-of-freedom treatment couches to help position patients correctly during each session.
For treatment planning, the medical team uses MRI and PET-CT simulation. These imaging tools help define tumor margins clearly. This accuracy allows for better outcomes in treating cancers of the head, neck, chest, abdomen, and extremities.
Treatment Modalities and Methods
Xiamen Humanity Hospital offers several types of radiation therapy to fit different patient needs. These include:
- IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy) to adjust the beam intensity based on tumor shape.
- VMAT (Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy) for faster and more precise delivery.
- SBRT and SRS for high-dose radiation targeted at small, specific areas.
- Respiratory Gating to track tumors that move when a patient breathes.
- Brachytherapy for internal radiation treatment.
Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT)
The hospital houses the first accelerator-based BNCT center in the region using the NeuPEX System. This method works like a cellular-level scalpel. It selectively destroys cancer cells and leaves healthy cells alone. This specialized technique offers a unique option for complex cases that may not respond to traditional methods.
Patients can also receive concurrent chemoradiotherapy. This combines radiation with chemotherapy to improve the effectiveness of the treatment. The hospital also uses unconventional fractionation to adapt the schedule of radiation doses for specific medical cases.
