Department of Clinical and Radiation Oncology, Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre (SKMCH&RC) Lahore, is now equipped with state-of-the-art therapy machines. The facility has been upgraded with addition of fifth innovative radiotherapy machine in addition to four already installed Linear Accelerators in the department, a spokesman of the hospital, said here Saturday.

According to him, the new cutting-edge radiotherapy machine is first of its kind in Pakistan and Middle East, capable of wide spectrum and advanced treatment modalities including Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT), Stereotactic Radiosurgery with Hyper Arc, Image Guided Radiotherapy and Rapid Arc.

This machine is capable of highly conformal and targeted radiotherapy with precision of less than 1mm, thus ensuring delivery of high-intensity doses to the tumour cells only while sparing normal tissues of the surrounding parts of the body.
