Radiotherapy unit

Radiotherapy is a medical treatment that uses ionizing radiation (X-rays, electrons) to destroy cancer cells or control their growth. It works by damaging the DNA of tumor cells, preventing them from multiplying, while preserving healthy tissues as much as possible. It can be used alone or in combination with surgery and/or chemotherapy.

At Ibn Khaldoun Medical Center, we offer advanced radiotherapy technologies to treat cancer with maximum precision and personalized care in a secure and compassionate medical environment.

Basic Principles

• Precise Targeting: Radiation is directed at the tumor while sparing surrounding healthy tissues as much as possible.
• Fractionation: Treatment is delivered in several sessions to optimize effectiveness and reduce side effects.

Our Strengths

• Individualized protocols tailored to each patient
• Double dose control by a medical physicist
• Fast treatments (a few minutes per session)
• Comprehensive patient care with integrative medicine

Indications for Radiotherapy

• Curative treatment (complete tumor elimination)
• Concurrent treatment with chemotherapy (to increase treatment effectiveness)
• Adjuvant treatment (after surgery to reduce the risk of recurrence)
• Neoadjuvant treatment (before surgery to reduce tumor size)
• Palliative treatment (pain relief and symptom management)

Our Advantages

• State-of-the-art equipment for precise radiation delivery
• Multidisciplinary team: radiation oncologists, medical physicists, radiotherapy technologists, and specialized nurses
• Personalized planning using imaging (CT, MRI, PET scan)
• Close monitoring to minimize side effects
