Situations Where Radiation Oncology Consultation May Be Recommended

A radiation oncology assessment can help determine whether radiotherapy has a role in cancer management. The recommendation depends on the cancer diagnosis, treatment stage, previous therapies, and overall health.

• Following a new cancer diagnosis when radiotherapy is being considered.
• Before surgery when radiation may help reduce tumour size in selected cases.
• After surgery when additional treatment is required to reduce recurrence risk.
• Alongside chemotherapy for cancers that benefit from combined treatment.
• When cancer returns in a previously treated area.
• When a tumour requires highly focused radiation treatment.
• When cancer-related pain or other symptoms require palliative radiation.
• When seeking specialist guidance or a second opinion about radiotherapy.

• Palliative Radiotherapy: Carefully targeted radiation may help manage symptoms associated with advanced cancer.
• Re-treatment Planning: Specialised assessment may be considered for selected patients who previously received radiation and develop recurrent disease.

Modern Radiotherapy Technology Supporting Treatment Accuracy

Our radiation oncology team uses advanced treatment systems and planning tools to support precise radiation delivery. Technology selection depends on the patient's cancer type, treatment site, and clinical requirements.

• Linear Accelerator: Used to deliver external beam radiation with controlled dose and treatment positioning.
• IMRT Technology: Helps shape and modulate radiation doses for selected treatment plans.
• IGRT Systems: Imaging guidance supports accurate positioning immediately before or during treatment.
• SBRT Technology: Enables highly focused radiation delivery for appropriately selected tumours.
• Computerised Treatment Planning: Helps radiation specialists design treatment fields and calculate appropriate radiation doses.
• Three-Dimensional Treatment Planning: Supports detailed visualisation of the treatment region and nearby organs.

Your Journey Through a Radiation Oncology Consultation

During the initial consultation, our radiation oncologists assess your diagnosis, previous treatment history, imaging, pathology findings, and overall health. They then explain whether radiation therapy may be suitable, discuss the treatment objectives, and outline the expected process before developing an individualised plan.

• Review of cancer diagnosis, medical history, and previous treatments.
• Assessment of biopsy, pathology, and imaging findings.
• Evaluation of the tumour location and treatment requirements.
• Discussion of available radiation techniques and treatment objectives.
• Explanation of the expected treatment schedule and possible side effects.
• Preparation of an individual radiation treatment plan when indicated.
• Guidance regarding follow-up visits and supportive cancer care.
