Which hospital in China has Varian Halcyon sharp knife?

In the process of tumor treatment, radiotherapy is a common method for 70% patients, and about 40% tumors can be recovered by radiotherapy. Ordinary traditional radiotherapy uses the characteristics of rapid proliferation and short cycle of tumor tissue compared with normal tissue and its sensitivity to radiation to treat diseases. Its radiation dose to the tumor is limited by the tolerable dose of the surrounding normal tissues. Usually, the conventional fractional radiation method is adopted, which takes a long time to treat, and the patient's normal tissues receive a large additional radiation dose, which often produces clinical radiation injury symptoms such as alopecia and radiation dermatitis. Therefore, although traditional radiotherapy has important significance and status in tumor treatment, it also has some shortcomings such as low efficiency, long treatment period and many complications.

Varian Halcyon sharp knife is an intelligent radiotherapy platform with full image guidance, which has the advantages of high integration, high automation and high intelligence. Seeing the word "knife" of "sharp knife", many patients feel the same as surgery, just like cutting a knife on their bodies. However, the sharp knife does not mean a scalpel in the actual sense, but kills tumor cells through targeted focusing. The technological innovation of sharp knife is incomparable to traditional radiotherapy. It is a "nuclear weapon" for tumor radiotherapy, which not only increases the dose of the target area, but also reduces the dose of the surrounding normal tissues, greatly improving the radiotherapy effect and reducing the side effects of radiotherapy. So, which hospital in China has Varian Halcyon sharp knife?

Without going abroad or going to Beijing, you can get quiet and smart radiotherapy at Changsha Kexin Cancer Hospital, so that cancer patients can enjoy treatment without running around.

In order to bring better medical experience and therapeutic effect to cancer patients, Changsha Kexin Cancer Hospital invested a huge sum of money and introduced the intelligent radiotherapy equipment of Varian Company-Halcyon sharp knife. This is the first hospital in China to introduce this equipment after the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center, The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center and Leuven University Hospitals.

Characteristics of quiet, rapid and sharp radiotherapy;

1, intelligent radiotherapy with little side effects: Whole-course image-guided radiotherapy realizes better radiotherapy planning and intelligent radiation, and effectively reduces the radiation dose of normal tissues.

2. High accuracy, direct attack on the focus: the unique "Gemini" fast double-layer multi-leaf collimator reduces the ray transmittance between leaves to 0.0 1%.

3. Speed up and increase efficiency, which is convenient and quick: the blade speed is increased to 2 times, the frame rate is increased to 4 times, and the treatment time is 1/3 of that of ordinary accelerator.

4, multiple tumors, one-time treatment: for example, radiotherapy for multiple intracranial metastases can be completed at one time, and it is not necessary to interrupt radiotherapy because of changing the target.

5, patients first, better experience: large aperture, low noise; Integrated ambient lighting, the light is soft and not dazzling.
