In the "Acibadem Sistina" clinical hospital, during the treatment of patients with malignant diseases, a team of doctors with a multidisciplinary approach participates in order to provide individual treatment for each patient. In women, breast carcinoma is the most common type of malignancy, and thus the most common cause of death from malignancy in this population. This type of malignant disease can be treated with systemic therapy (chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and biological therapy) and with radiotherapy as a local treatment, explains Dr. Slavica Kraleva, oncologist at the "Acibadem Sistina" clinical hospital. At the "Acibadem Sistina" Clinical Hospital, radiotherapy is performed with a modern Trylogy linear accelerator, which enables accurate and precise irradiation of the tumor tissue.
At the same time, during the radiotherapeutic treatment, care is taken for the comfort of the patient, which is very important for the necessary and adequate radiotherapy. In addition, the following can be taken into account: the movement of organs in the patient due to breathing during each radiation as well as the change in the shape of the contour of the patient's body (due to the reduction of the tumor if it is located Nicaragua Email List close to the skin, respectively under or on the skin) or due to the change in weight body during the radiotherapy treatment that lasts several weeks. Dr. Kraleva emphasizes that radiotherapy treatment is used in the treatment of almost all types of malignant diseases, but it is also used in benign diseases. With this type of treatment, control is achieved in the growth of malignant cells or during their complete destruction.
According to her, radiotherapy is a type of treatment that is used during the treatment of carcinoma and aims to prevent its recurrence. It applies in these cases: Before starting with operative treatment in order to reduce the tumor. After the treatment carried out with the aim of destroying the remaining malignant cells after the operation. With a palliative purpose when healing cannot be achieved and the purpose of this treatment is to reduce the symptoms caused by the tumor. Radiotherapy as a local treatment can be combined with any systemic therapy (chemotherapy, hormonal therapy and biological therapy. Dr. Kraleva explains that the high-energy rays used during radiotherapy cause damage to the DNA of malignant cells, thereby preventing their ability to 'spread, by destroying the cells, the tumor is reduced. Healthy cells, unlike tumor cells, have the ability to regenerate from the damage caused by radiotherapy.
