Radiation Oncology

The Radiation Oncology Department at SGM Cancer Hospital aspires to provide the most advanced and precise cancer care with a multidisciplinary evidence guided approach. Using cutting-edge technology and clinical expertise, we utilize ionizing radiation to destroy cancer cells and shrink tumours. Our advanced Varian VitalBeam linear accelerator can provide highly conformal radiotherapy that targets precisely the tumour and spares surrounding healthy tissue. Our team includes Radiation oncologists who offer clinical care, design treatment, outline and monitor patients during radiotherapy; Medical physicists are responsible for radiotherapy commissioning, developing complex and precise clinical plans for treatment and ensuring radiation safety for patients and staff; Radiation technologists who operate machines and deliver radiotherapy.
