Radiotherapy
An important and frequently used therapeutic method in oncology, using ionizing radiation to treat cancer. Radiotherapy is effective in most cancers and its use significantly increases the chances of cancer patients to achieve a full recovery.
Brachytherapy
It enables the application of radiation directly to the diseased area, which ensures the greatest precision of therapy. At the Radiotherapy Center in Krakow, brachytherapy is most often used in cases of cancer of the female reproductive organs, prostate, breast, head and neck, and skin.
Patient care
It is important that patients feel comfortable during therapy. Providing mental support during illness is of great importance in the treatment process. An additional aspect is an appropriate diet, thanks to which patients maintain strength to better undergo therapy.
