Oncology & Radiation Therapy
Radiation Oncology
External beam radiotherapy delivered with modern planning techniques including IMRT, IGRT, and VMAT for precise tumor targeting and protection of surrounding healthy tissue.
About this service
Radiation Oncology at Mersin University Hospital provides external beam radiotherapy for a wide range of cancers using contemporary treatment planning and delivery techniques. Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT) shape the radiation dose precisely to the tumor, while image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) verifies the target position before each session to protect surrounding healthy tissue. Treatment plans are prepared jointly by radiation oncologists and medical physicists and reviewed within the hospital's multidisciplinary tumor board, ensuring radiotherapy is integrated with surgery and systemic treatment where appropriate. For international patients, the department offers structured treatment schedules and clear communication throughout the course of therapy, from initial simulation to follow-up after the final session.
