Centro Médico Teknon
Raimon Miralbell
In Teknon Hospital physicians perform radiation therapy for throat cancer in the Radiation Oncology Department. The Department is equipped with 2 advanced linear accelerators. Patients receive maximally effective treatment delivered by a team of oncologists, radiologists, and technicians.
At Teknon radiation for throat cancer is utilized to reduce the tumor size before the operation or destroy the rest of cancerous cells after surgical intervention. If the tumor is small, physicians can destroy it with radiation alone, preserving as much healthy tissues as possible.
Patients are not required to stay in the Hospital between therapeutic sessions. The full course of radiation treatment for throat cancer can take up to 2 months.
