Artificial intelligence has begun to be used in cancer treatments. Development of artificial intelligence; the appropriate patient is very useful in directing appropriate treatment. The unnecessary workload on the doctor is also diminishing
While the incidence of cancer is increasing all over the world, methods of smoothing in cancer treatments are developing rapidly ... A multifaceted approach to cancer makes it easier to find the most effective treatment.
Experts gave information about the latest technologies in cancer treatment ...
Get opinions from different departments.
Cancer disease is the group of patients for whom the second opinion is most frequently taken. When the patient or patient gets a familiar diagnosis, he or she will ask three or five doctors. But instead of asking doctors several times from the same unit, it would be much more beneficial for the patient to go around different units.
According to the World Health Organization, although the incidence of cancer is increasing, the life expectancy of cancer patients is prolonged. Now we can catch the disease sooner. Patients are very conscious; they can apply to the hospital in the early period.
This makes the treatment easier. Besides, we can apply much more effective methods than the past as a treatment.
The surgeon's job is getting easier
Regarding what treatment we will start with, we are interested in the region where the tumor is located rather than the size of the tumor.
When it's a big tumor, the surgeon and radiotherapy work harder.
However, removing that large tumor may be a little more difficult for surgery. We can shrink the tumor with radiotherapy and make the surgeon's job easier. When the tumor is small, we have a chance to destroy the tumor before surgery is needed.
The location of the tumor and the general condition of the patient are much more important than the size or smallness of the tumor.
Actually, there is a bad reputation among people in radiotherapy. There is understanding as 'radiotherapy burns'. This is a remnant of two-dimensional radiotherapy. The two-dimensional radiotherapy was irradiated in very large areas. For this reason, the dose given to the tumor could also harm normal tissues. He had to deal with not only the disease but also the side effects of the treatment.
With the developing technology, we can protect the normal texture better by directing the required desire only to the target.
We protect the normal tissue and increase the chance of controlling the tumor by irradiating it at higher doses, and the quality of life of the patient is seriously increasing because the normal tissue is reduced.
As we can give higher doses, we become more competitive with surgery to control the disease. For this reason, radiotherapy has improved much more than in the past.
Automatic and quick contouring
With advanced technology, radiotherapy is constantly improving. As we work with devices mostly as partitions, we are at the forefront of the areas that are most interested in the development of technology. The better the result, the better the quality of the work done. Of course, it is not enough that the devices alone are good. The team using the device is also very good, very serious and needs to be studied carefully.
With automatic contouring systems, artificial intelligence has begun to be used in cancer treatments. With automatic contouring, normal tissues collide very quickly and this makes our work much easier. Because we spend so much time with drawing normal tissues that our concentration in the whole body can be distorted. Development of artificial intelligence; the appropriate patient will be very useful in directing appropriate treatment.
By reducing unnecessary workload on us, our patients will be able to spend more time.
Right known mistakes about radiotherapy
There is a belief among people that radiotherapy is burning. Radiotherapy does not burn. Radiotherapy has side effects such as every treatment method. But with new technologies, these side effects are the least.
When patients receive radiotherapy, they think about radiation. However, this information is not correct. There is no such thing as radiating radiation after taking the treatment.
Patients continue their normal life when they receive radiotherapy. Many patients continue to work during radiotherapy. Very early in the morning or in the evening we have our patients to take care of the work. Because we only see the effect of radiotherapy on the area we practice.
We see very few side effects in the patient because it does not affect the whole body. These side effects do not keep the person from normal life. The person does not suffer pain or suffering during treatment.
Individualized treatment can be applied
Tomotherapy has become one of the methods of radiotherapy. Dose distributions may be more sensitive to tissue than other methods of treatment. Of course, there are some advantages. The patient can be treated very quickly. It is very important for the patient to remain in the device. As the patient moves, the risk of radiation is increasing. Because the patient is more likely to move as he or she is on the table during treatment. When you treat it quickly, you reduce the likelihood of moving and you increase the quality of your treatment. This situation is not possible in other treatment methods. Treatment also gives very effective results in children.
