Yes. Tomo equipment has many advantages. To put it simply, it has the following advantages:
1. Accurate irradiation
TOMO is currently the only image-guided radiotherapy system that uses the same source of radiotherapy irradiation and CT. . The imaging accuracy is as high as ±0.1mm, which is much higher than that of conventional accelerators; the image quality of its unique Fan Beam megavoltage CT is also significantly better than the cone beam kilovoltage CT images of conventional accelerators. Quality; at the same time, the imaging system has dose calculation and verification functions, ensuring high accuracy in position and dose of the treatment plan for each patient's treatment.
2. The curative effect is obvious
Clinical summaries from many hospitals at home and abroad have confirmed that: compared with previous radiotherapy methods, the survival rate of patients with spiral tomotherapy has significantly increased. Radiation reactions and complications are significantly reduced. The 301 Hospital of the People's Liberation Army used this system to treat 73 cases of nasopharyngeal cancer with a one-year recurrence-free survival rate of 95.6%. The 2-year survival rate of 46 cases of non-small cell lung cancer was 46.8%, 25% higher than other radiotherapy methods, and there was no occurrence of grade 3 or above esophagitis. The 1-year survival rate of 42 cases of advanced liver cancer with distant metastasis after treatment was as high as 50.1%, which is significantly better than traditional treatment.
3. Simplify complexity
TOMO is the nemesis of complex and difficult tumor cases. It uses Takono's spiral tomographic irradiation method to irradiate multiple tumor lesions at once, reducing the risk of repeated irradiation of normal tissue due to complex planning. At the same time, due to the unique design of spiral irradiation, it can achieve ultra-long range intensity-modulated irradiation field (60cm X 160 cm), and there is no need to consider the connection between adjacent fields. The high precision formed by Takono also makes the protection of vital organs possible.
4. Wide range of applications
Due to the special design and functions of TOMO, it can treat tumors located in any part of the body.
The scope of treatment includes:
1). Glioma, brain metastasis, meningioma and other intracranial benign and malignant tumors
2). Nasopharyngeal cancer , maxillary sinus tumors, laryngeal cancer, tongue cancer and other head and neck malignant tumors
3). Lung cancer, breast cancer, esophageal cancer, mediastinal tumors and other chest malignant tumors
4). Liver cancer, gastric cancer, pancreatic cancer, biliary system, kidney and other abdominal malignant tumors
5). Prostate cancer, seminoma, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, rectal cancer, bladder cancer and other pelvic malignant tumors
6). Liposarcoma, osteosarcoma, basal cell carcinoma, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma and other malignant skin and soft tissue tumors
7). Leukemia, malignant lymphoma and other hematopoietic systems Lesions
8). Metastatic lesions of bones, liver, lungs, lymph nodes and other malignant tumors
5. High cost performance
Although due to the cost of TOMO equipment It is expensive and results in a higher cost for a single treatment. However, because this system can greatly increase the radiation dose of tumor tissue while protecting normal tissue to the maximum extent, it can improve the survival rate of patients and reduce the incidence of complications. Therefore, It is expected to save patients the potential treatment costs caused by recurrence and treatment of complications, so it has obvious advantages over conventional radiotherapy in terms of overall treatment cost-effectiveness.
