RADIOTHERAPY CENTER – ECHIFA INTERNATIONAL HOSPITAL DJERBA

A MODERN, HIGH-PERFORMANCE CENTER DEDICATED TO FIGHTING CANCER

At the Echifa International Hospital, our latest-generation radiotherapy center is fully dedicated to cancer treatment using targeted, precise and non-invasive methods. With the Elekta Versa HD® linear accelerator, we deliver ultra-precise irradiation of tumors while preserving healthy tissues and minimizing side effects.

Our experienced multidisciplinary team, composed of radiation oncologists, medical physicists, technicians and specialized nurses, supports you comprehensively and compassionately throughout your care pathway.

WHAT IS RADIOTHERAPY?

Radiotherapy uses ionizing radiation (X-rays, electrons) to destroy cancer cells or control their growth. It works by damaging the DNA of tumor cells, preventing their multiplication while preserving healthy tissues as much as possible.

It can be used:

• Alone: as the main treatment for certain cancers
• In combination: combined with surgery and/or chemotherapy for greater effectiveness

Basic principles:

• Precise targeting: irradiation limited to the tumor
• Fractionation: several sessions to maximize effectiveness and reduce side effects

OUR ADVANCED TECHNIQUES

3D RADIOTHERAPY / CRT

• High precision to target the tumor while limiting side effects

IMRT (INTENSITY-MODULATED RADIOTHERAPY)

• Adjusts beam intensity to precisely match the shape of the tumor and protect healthy tissues

VMAT (VOLUMETRIC MODULATED ARC THERAPY)

• Allows rapid and continuous dose delivery, optimizing comfort and precision

IGRT (IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOTHERAPY)

• Verification of tumor position before each session for millimeter-accurate and safe treatment

STEREOTACTIC RADIOTHERAPY (SBRT)

• Ultra-localized, effective for small tumors with minimal side effects

INDICATIONS FOR RADIOTHERAPY

• Curative: complete elimination of the tumor
• Neoadjuvant: reducing tumor volume before surgery
• Adjuvant: destroying residual cells after surgery
• Concurrent: combined with chemotherapy
• Palliative: relieving pain and improving quality of life
