Every 2nd onco-patient undergoes treatment in the Radiation Therapy Department. A linear accelerator of the latest generation is used here. The device irradiates one tissue area in 1-5 minutes.

Radiation therapy is prescribed for patients with malignant and benign tumors located in the head, thoracic organs, mammary glands, pancreas, rectum, prostate, and bones.

Types of radiotherapy used by doctors at Lippe Lemgo:

• IGRT - irradiation under visual control. It is used for "moving tumors" - lung or prostate cancer. The radiation beam adjusts to the patient's movements and affects only cancerous cells. This negates the damage to healthy tissues.
• IMRT - intensively modulated radiotherapy. Doctors use IMRT to treat prostate, intestinal tumors, head, and neck cancer. The technique directs the maximum dose of radiation to the affected area bypassing healthy organs.
• Brachytherapy for prostate cancer. Doctors put radioactive "seeds" in the prostate gland. They affect nearby malignant cells increasing procedure effectiveness.

Radiotherapy at Lippe Lemgo Medical Center, Germany

The Hospital is certified by the German Cancer Society. It guarantees effective cancer treatment according to the latest medical guidelines. Doctors specialize in treatment of such diseases as:

• leukemia, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas, plasmacytoma (bone marrow tumor);
• breast, lung and stomach cancer;
• tumors of the ear, throat, and nose.

The main treatment methods used by Lippe Lemgo doctors:

• Surgical removal of tumors. Doctors carry out sparing organ-preserving operations - neoplasms are removed through a few-centimeter wide holes (the size depends on tumor location). Such operations leave nearly not noticeable scars, the recovery process is faster than after open intervention.
• High-dose chemotherapy combined with autologous stem cell transplantation. A patient is prescribed high-dosage сhemo that destroys malignant cells in blood and lymph nodes. After the course physicians transplant stem cells to restore normal hematopoiesis. This is an effective treating technique of lymphoma, leukemia, and plasmacytoma.
• Endoscopic operations for cancer of the gastrointestinal tract. Onco-surgeons remove neoplasms in the gastrointestinal tract without skin incisions, through natural openings. Applying this method, it is possible to remove tumors in the intestine or esophagus. Among the advantages of the procedure are absence of scars and minimal recovery period.
• Radioimmunotherapy in combination with radiotherapy. The procedure is prescribed for patients with melanoma, brain glioma, lymphoma, prostate cancer. Radioimmunotherapy drugs destroy only malignant cells and do not affect healthy ones.
