Overview

Hypofractionated radiation therapy such as TAMC Precise splits the total radiation dose into fewer fractions of larger doses given over a shorter period. This approach is possible because the radiation beam can be very precisely targeted to the site of a tumour. This method of radiation delivery is called stereotactic because it uses special equipment to position the patient and deliver the radiation to an exact spot. With TAMC Precise, you will be treated by radiation oncologists with extensive experience, using state-of-the-art equipment and highly advanced imaging techniques to ensure greater precision and safety.

The radiologist at the Israeli clinic Tel Aviv Medical Clinic is fluent in radiological diagnostics and carries out radiation therapy of both malignant and benign formations. The specialist for each patient individually selects an appropriate method of treatment, corrects the radiation dose. Internal ionizing irradiation techniques may be used during the operation. Also, the doctor carries out one-time irradiation of the formation with the help of a powerful dose of radiation, which destroys pathological cells.

Why is TAMC Precise™ Radiation Therapy effective?

Hypofractionated stereotactic radiation therapy is highly effective even though it requires fewer treatment sessions. At higher doses, radiation therapy can work better at killing cancer cells or slowing their growth by damaging their DNA. Cancer cells whose DNA is damaged beyond repair stop dividing or die. The high-dose radiation also damages blood vessels in and around the tumour, hampering its blood supply. 

This form of radiation can safely deliver treatment in fewer visits to your doctor, so it can allow you to spend more time on things that matter most to you.

Adverse reactions that may occur

With the use of the most modern methods of planning and dosing radiotherapy, the doctor can reduce the dose of radiation of healthy tissues. Sometimes the patient may experience the following adverse reactions:

• Redness or peeling of skin;
• Swelling of the affected area;
• Nausea;
• Increased fatigue;
• Dizziness;
• Reduced appetite;
• Reduced immunity.

Often side reactions can be controlled with drugs. As a rule, the negative effect passes independently after the end of treatment.
