1. Linac Elekta Versa HD Radiotherapy
One of Mandaya’s leading cancer treatment technologies is the Elekta Versa HD Linear Accelerator (Linac) — an advanced radiotherapy system equipped with Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) features. This technology enables highly precise cancer treatment, enhanced effectiveness, and minimal risk to surrounding healthy tissues.
Key Advantages of Linac Elekta Versa HD at Mandaya Royal Puri:
- Precision accuracy of up to 1 millimeter for precise tumor targeting
- Equipped with 4D Image-Guided Radiotherapy (IGRT) integrated with robotic systems for submillimeter precision
- Delivers optimal radiation doses to achieve effective treatment outcomes
- Reduces the number of therapy sessions by providing higher, more efficient doses
- Protects healthy tissues around the cancerous area
- Capable of targeting multiple tumor areas simultaneously, with a treatment field up to 40×40 cm
- Comfortable therapy rooms with entertainment systems, allowing patients to watch videos or listen to music for a more relaxing treatment experience
2. Brachytherapy
In addition to external beam radiotherapy, Mandaya Royal Hospital Puri also provides brachytherapy, an internal radiation therapy proven effective for various types of cancer. This method delivers radiation doses directly to the tumor site with exceptional precision, minimizing damage to healthy tissues.
Mandaya’s brachytherapy service uses the Flexitron Brachytherapy System, a cutting-edge technology also utilized by leading cancer centers worldwide, including MD Anderson Cancer Center (USA), National Cancer Center (Singapore), University of Erlangen (Germany), and Medical University AKH (Austria).
The Flexitron Brachytherapy system employs a High Dose Rate (HDR) Afterloading mechanism, which delivers concentrated radiation precisely into or around tumor tissues. This ensures radiation is accurately focused on the cancer area, protecting surrounding healthy tissues. Thanks to this innovation, patients can undergo treatment safely, efficiently, and with shorter recovery times.
For easier hospital visits, patients can use the Chat via WhatsApp, Book Appointment, or Care Dokter App, available on Google Play and App Store, to manage visits, check queue numbers, and access complete hospital information conveniently.
