Services

Dr. Etsebeth offers an extensive range of radiation oncology services. She employs advanced technology and modern equipment to ensure accurate treatment. Each service is carefully tailored to meet individual patient needs. Key services include:

• External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT):
  She delivers high-energy beams that precisely target and destroy cancer cells. This method minimizes damage to healthy tissues.

• Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT):
  She modulates radiation doses with pinpoint accuracy. Consequently, IMRT reduces exposure to adjacent healthy tissues and lowers side effects.

• Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS):
  She administers high-dose radiation with pinpoint precision. This treatment benefits patients with brain and spinal tumors by protecting surrounding areas.

• Brachytherapy:
  She places radioactive sources directly into or near the tumor. As a result, brachytherapy provides a concentrated dose of radiation while sparing healthy cells.

• Specialized Cancer Treatments:
  She focuses on treating gynaecological malignancies, head and neck cancers, central nervous system tumors, and rare cancer types. Additionally, she customizes treatment protocols to provide symptom relief and maintain patient quality of life.
