Radiotherapy Center Cologne
Center for Radiation Therapy Cologne is a German private clinic in the city of Cologne for the treatment of cancer patients.
The radiation therapy center treats various diseases, such as: brain tumors, radiation of the breast after surgery, radiation after gynecological diseases, radiation therapy for ENT organs.
The clinic is primarily engaged in the diagnosis and therapy of oncological diseases, curative therapy is carried out in order to cure the disease and palliative therapy.
At the first visit to a medical institution, a personal card is created for the patient, where all information, medical history, test results, including MRI, CT, etc., are stored. First of all, each patient undergoes a consultation on how much there is an indication for radiation therapy, an anamnesis is taken, the doctor tells for what purpose the treatment is carried out and what stages of therapy.
Mandatory diagnostics before starting radiation therapy:
- consultation
- laboratory tests
- computed tomography (CT)
- magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
The duration of irradiation can be from 2-3 minutes (for breast cancer), 5-6 minutes (for prostate cancer) to 15-20 minutes for chest diseases.
Just a year ago, the department has a state-of-the-art CT machine, its advantage is a special navigation system for positioning the patient and it helps to even more accurately determine the site of the tumor using infrared rays "scanning" the patient. This data is compared with CT scans and scans obtained during the scans in the supine position just before the irradiation itself, thus the positioning accuracy is 0.01 mm.
