THE FIRST RADIOTHERAPY PATIENT IN ZGORZELEC

On Wednesday, November 14, the first patient of the Amethyst Radiotherapy Center in Zgorzelec began radiation treatments.

Consultations for patients in the new radiotherapy clinic began earlier, at the beginning of November this year. Based on them and after the findings of the medical consultation, it was possible to plan radiation treatments, and the first patient started therapy on Wednesday, November 14. She is a 65-year-old woman diagnosed with breast cancer. Throughout the entire time - from the first visit (mammography) through tumor removal surgery to radiation treatments - the patient is under the care of doctors from the Multi-specialized Hospital in Zgorzelec and the Amethyst Radiotherapy Center, and the entire treatment takes place in one place.

The modern Amethyst Radiotherapy Center, with two latest generation Elekta accelerators and a computed tomography scanner, operates directly next to the Zgorzelec hospital. It is an important element of the comprehensive oncological treatment program developed by the hospital, complementing the oncological surgery and clinical oncology departments run by the facility.
