THREE YEARS HAVE BEEN USED
Over 5 thousand patients who completed treatment, 12 thousand medical advice provided - the Amethyst Radiotherapy Center summarizes its three-year anniversary of operation.
When the Krakow facility was opened in December 2013, the waiting time for cancer patients for treatment was half a year. Thanks to close cooperation between specialists from the Amethyst Radiotherapy Center and doctors from the Specialist Hospital. L. Rydygiera, one of the largest full-profile oncology centers in Małopolska was established, guaranteeing diagnostics and full oncological combined treatment, and the waiting time for treatment was shortened to two weeks. Patients come here from over 40 facilities from all over the region and beyond - only 11 of them are in Krakow. Currently, it is also the only private center offering postgraduate training for doctors.
The Krakow Amethyst Radiotherapy Center has become an important point on the medical map of Małopolska. Advanced treatment technologies are used here: VMAT/IMRT, 3D techniques, stereotaxy and brachytherapy. The number of patients undergoing treatment at the Center is growing every year - in the first year of the center's operation it was 1050 people, while this year it is expected to be over 2300 patients, i.e. twice as many. The facility is also highly rated by patients and their families - as many as 99%. patients rated the work of doctors and technicians as good and very good.
