Shrink Cancer
Highly effective to cure or shrink early-stage cancer with minimal side-effect.
Stop Cancer Recurring
To stop cancer from recurring or treat symptoms caused by advanced cancer.
Improve Effectiveness
Elevate effectiveness by combining with chemotherapy (chemoradiation) or preparing for surgery (neo-adjuvant radiotherapy).
Reduce Pain
Radiotherapy can alleviate pain, reduce tumor size, and improve your overall quality of life.

RapidArc® Radiotherapy is an advanced form of IMRT sculpts a 3D dose distribution with a 360-degree gantry rotation in a single or multi-arc treatment.
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS)
Stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) is a non-surgical radiation therapy used to treat functional abnormalities and small tumours of the brain.
Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT/SRT)
Stereotactic radiotherapy (SBRT / SRT) gives radiotherapy from many different angles around the body. It is mainly used to treat smaller-sized tumours in lungs, liver, lymph nodes, spinal cord, and brain.
Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT)
Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) is the use of imaging during radiation therapy to improve the precision and accuracy of treatment delivery. Making this a great for more precise targeting tumour.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the difference between Varian Halcyon and other radiotherapy machines?
Introduced in 2017, Varian Halcyon is the latest radiotherapy machine which delivers treatment fast, accurately and is built with patient comfort and safety in mind. For example, a 2 partial arc RapidArc lung treatment session can be completed in approximately 2 minutes (imaging – 15 seconds and treatment – 1 minute 30 seconds). The dual-layer multi-leaf collimator comes with a stacked and staggered design, with interleaf leakage of 0.01%, which means the risk of unnecessary radiation to healthy tissue nearby is low.
2. How many radiotherapy sessions are needed?
Your radiation oncologist will advise on exactly how many treatment sessions you need for your condition. Typically, radiotherapy is given once a day, five times a week for 5-7 weeks and takes a few minutes in the machine each day of treatment.
3. Will there be side-effects after the treatment?
The side-effects vary depending on the body area being treated with radiotherapy. Common side effects you may experience include fatigue, nausea, and skin changes. Your consultant will elaborate more on these and other side effects that you might experience.
4. When can I resume my daily activities after undergoing radiotherapy?
Some may feel fatigue, shortly after treatment, while others only feel it after a few sessions of radiotherapy. You can resume your daily activities if you do not feel tired and your doctor has given you the clearance to do so.
