Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide, including in Indonesia. This disease develops when abnormal cells in lung tissue grow uncontrollably and form tumors.
One of the proven effective treatment methods is radiation therapy, which uses controlled doses of radiation to destroy cancer cells and prevent them from spreading.
At Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri, lung cancer radiation therapy is performed using Elekta Versa HD, the latest and most advanced type of radiotherapy machine. This technology delivers accuracy up to 1 mm, enabling precise targeting of cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy lung tissue.

Advantages of Lung Cancer Radiation Therapy with Elekta Versa HD
Compared to conventional methods, the use of Elekta Versa HD in lung cancer treatment offers several key benefits:
1. Submillimeter Precision
Radiation is directed straight to the tumor with accuracy up to 1 mm, effectively destroying cancer cells while preserving nearby healthy tissue.
2. SRS & SBRT Technology
Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) work like a “radiation scalpel,” delivering high doses in a targeted manner. This allows fewer therapy sessions while maintaining effectiveness.
3. Ability to Target Multiple Tumors at Once
Elekta Versa HD can treat multiple tumors in a single session with coverage up to 40 cm x 40 cm, making therapy more efficient and comfortable for patients.
4. 4D IGRT (Image-Guided Radiotherapy) Technology
The 4D imaging system ensures radiation remains on target even when tumors move as the patient breathes, maintaining consistent and precise treatment throughout the procedure.
5. Minimal Side Effects on Healthy Tissue
With highly focused radiation, damage to surrounding healthy lung tissue is minimized, reducing the risk of complications.
6. Shorter Therapy Duration
Thanks to high-dose precision delivery, the number of therapy sessions can be reduced, making treatment faster compared to conventional radiotherapy.
7. Improved Patient Comfort
With robotic technology and the ability to adapt radiation according to the shape and location of tumors, patients experience greater comfort and less pain during therapy.
