Upon the opening of the new department at Shaare Zedek, the vision is to establish a cutting-edge center equipped with the most advanced technologies, while never compromising on addressing the emotional needs of the patients and their families.
The department's management has successfully recruited the finest doctors, physicists, nurses, radiology therapists, and administrative team. Additionally, young professionals were brought on board and paired with more experienced colleagues to ensure their optimal development and performance.
Since radiotherapy relies on advanced technologies, the institute has acquired the most reliable and state-of-the-art equipment, including Varian's linear accelerators and specialized devices for treating specific growths, like the Sensus BRAINLAB AND.
Furthermore, the institute has been accepted into the research group of the National Cancer Institute in the United States (NRG Oncology). Through this association, the institute enables its patients to participate in the most advanced research studies conducted worldwide. Alongside technical advancements, their commitment remains unwavering in providing the best emotional and therapeutic experience for the patients and their families.
Shaare Zedek's Radiotherapy Institute offers a wide range of cutting-edge technologies, placing it at the forefront of radiation treatments worldwide. Among these offerings are IMRT, VMAT, Image-guided radiotherapy, and Radiosurgery. Emphasis is placed on employing advanced technologies and the importance of providing empathetic and compassionate care for the patient and their family.
This approach to cancer treatment will allow Shaare Zedek Medical Center to make groundbreaking strides in both research and emotional support for patients. For example, collaboration with NRG (the leading research group at the National Cancer Institute in the US) examines the combination of radiation therapies with advanced treatments such as immunotherapy, as well as a unique partnership with Professor Amir Amitay from the Rehovot University to find ways to reduce anxiety and stress during radiation treatments.
