Variety of Tumors: Due to the wide range of energy spectrum in this technology, our medical professionals can use this spectrum to treat different tumors and optimize treatments for different depths.
Perfect Pitch Precision: Patient positioning accuracy is enhanced by the Perfect Pitch feature, which provides 6 degrees of freedom with the couch, resulting in optimal treatment outcomes without compromising patient comfort.
Reduced Treatment Time: This technique has the unique advantage of single isocenter even in multiple targets, for example in multiple brain metastases, thereby reducing the overall treatment time.
Tumor Board Opinion
STAR Tumor Board is made up of a 11 member team, with specialists across oncology, radiology, pathology and nuclear medicine. Depending on where the tumor exists, the concerned specialist, gastro (liver cancer), neuro (brain tumor), pulmonologist (lung tumor) etc, is also invited. With each member, bringing on board their expertise, we discuss each case and suggest the best treatment plan for every patient; this may be radiational, medical or surgical.
