Dr Diana Pillay, one of the centre’s specialised oncologists says: “The discipline of oncology has always been regarded as an art and a science. The application of science to eradicate cancer, or reduce the symptoms of the disease, in the most humane way has always been desired by healthcare professionals. In the past, the biggest challenge in oncology has been to improve patient outcomes whilst reducing toxicity of cancer treatments. This balance has been successfully achieved with the new radiotherapy machine at Busamed Gateway hospital.
The Hypersight technology at Busamed Gateway Oncology Centre offers my patients state-of-the-art technology to treat their cancer. Scientific advances such as the Deep inspiration breath holding technique, surface guided radiotherapy and adaptive real-time treatment, complements the precision of intensity modulated radiotherapy and volumetric modulated arc therapy to accurately target the malignancy whilst minimising dose to normal tissues. I am reassured that improved survival with meaningful quality of life outcomes is guaranteed in my patients through the use of such technology.
I have been present when my patients were treated and have seen their satisfaction in the treatment process, professionalism of the staff and the aesthetically pleasing environment. Overall, the Busamed Gateway radiotherapy machine affirms that I am bringing science to the bedside by always using evidence-based medicine to promote the best interest and wellbeing of my patients.”
