Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in Indonesia and worldwide. This disease occurs when abnormal cells in breast tissue grow uncontrollably and form a tumor. One of the widely used treatment methods is radiation therapy, which uses targeted radiation to destroy cancer cells while preventing their spread.
At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, breast cancer radiation therapy is supported by cutting-edge Elekta Versa HD technology—the latest and most advanced type of radiotherapy machine. This technology delivers cancer radiation with extremely high precision, achieving accuracy up to 1 mm. It effectively targets cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue.

Advantages of Elekta Versa HD: Radiotherapy with SRS and SBRT Technology
Elekta Versa HD is an advanced radiotherapy machine equipped with SRS (Stereotactic Radiosurgery) and SBRT (Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy). These technologies allow high-dose radiation with submillimeter precision, effectively destroying cancer cells with minimal impact on healthy tissue.
Elekta Versa HD can also target multiple tumors simultaneously in a single session, making treatment more efficient and comfortable for patients.
-
High Accuracy with Robotic System
Supported by 4D image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) integrated with a robotic system, Elekta Versa HD can align radiation beams directly to the tumor with submillimeter precision. This ensures that the maximum radiation dose is delivered to the tumor while protecting healthy surrounding tissues.
-
Radiosurgery Technology (SRS & SBRT)
Elekta Versa HD brings SRS and SBRT technology, often referred to as a “radiation knife.” By delivering high-dose, targeted radiation, this method effectively destroys the DNA of cancer cells. Compared to conventional radiotherapy, it can reduce the number of treatment sessions required.
-
Ability to Target Multiple Tumors at Once
This technology can deliver radiation beams to multiple tumors simultaneously, with a treatment field up to 40 cm x 40 cm. The facility is also integrated with Agility technology, which shapes radiation beams to match the exact size and location of tumors.
Breast Cancer Radiation Therapy Team at Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri
In addition to state-of-the-art radiotherapy technology, Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri is supported by highly experienced doctors and professors specializing in cancer radiation therapy, including:
1. Prof. Dr. Soehartati A. Gondhowiardjo, Sp.Onk.Rad (K)

Mandaya Cancer Center: Supported by Advanced Technology and Comprehensive Facilities
Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri Cancer Center offers a full range of diagnostic and therapeutic services with modern technology. Patients receive more accurate, personalized, and effective cancer treatment. Key facilities include:
-
Digital PET CT Scan
Combines PET (Positron Emission Tomography) and CT (Computed Tomography) to detect cancer at very early stages, assess its spread, and monitor therapy effectiveness with detailed precision.
-
Genomic Laboratory
Analyzes DNA and molecular profiles of cancer cells to identify genetic mutations. This allows doctors to design personalized treatment with higher effectiveness and fewer side effects.
-
Immunotherapy
Unlike chemotherapy, immunotherapy strengthens the patient’s immune system to recognize and destroy cancer cells. It offers new hope for certain hard-to-treat cancers, with longer-lasting outcomes.
-
Nuclear Medicine
Uses low-dose radioactive substances to both diagnose and treat cancer. It can detect even very small tumors and deliver targeted radiation that destroys cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues.
