I Am Conquer C – Yes, You Can!

 

The Conquer C Center has a highly-experienced treatment team (radiation oncologists, interventional radio-oncologists, nuclear oncologists, medical physicists, radiation technologists, radio-oncology nurses, among others) dedicated to provide state-of-the-art therapy in a setting that is supportive and compassionate.  This team collaborates closely with the medical, surgical, dental, and supportive care teams of the other ACI Centers. The Conquer C Center offers SERVICES in:

 

RADIATION ONCOLOGY

 

Specialized procedures like Stereotactic Radiation Surgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Radiation Therapy (SRT) can be done through the latest version of the TomoTherapy HAD-H Series Machine which includes CT Scan for planning.

 

The TomoTherapy HAD-H Series Machine uses stationary radiation beams to precisely target atypical tumors over a wider variety. It is the only machine in the Philippines that treats patients with no compromise and enables planning and delivery of highly-sculpted dose distributions. 

 

Brachytherapy is a radiation therapy that places a radioactive material in the body. The latest version of the Brachytherapy with cobalt source enables radiotherapy procedures with High-dose Rate.

 

NUCLEAR ONCOLOGY

 

• Nuclear Oncology is an arm of the Nuclear Medicine Unit and offers: Diagnostic Bone Scintigraphy
• Therapeutic Iodine-131
• Tumor-specific Radio-pharmaceuticals [e.g., Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT)]

 

INTERVENTIONAL RADIO-ONCOLOGY

• Interventional Radiology, under the Radiology Department, offers image-guided minimally invasive surgery, using the most advanced diagnostic and molecular imaging techniques, and non-invasive therapies. The minimally invasive therapeutic procedures include: Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) which uses localized thermal destruction of tissue (tumors) by radiofrequency waves.
• Chemoembolization which uses an image guide to deliver chemotherapy directly to the tumor through its blood supply.
• Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT) with Nuclear-Oncology
• Image-guided Thoracentesis and Paracentesis
• Image-guided Biopsies
