Emergency radiation therapy

Advantages of emergency radiation therapy in EMC

Spinal cord compression treatment

In case of emergency conditions in oncology, emergency radiation therapy may be required.

The most common oncological emergencies:

spinal cord compression;
brain metastases (may lead to impaired consciousness, uncontrollable seizures);
superior vena cava syndrome (compression or blockage of the superior vena cava can lead to swelling of the face, neck, shortness of breath, headache, in severe cases – impaired consciousness, laryngeal edema and other consequences);
acute respiratory tract obstruction;
uncontrolled bleeding in the tumor.

In the European Medical Center, emergency radiation therapy is performed around the clock, on an outpatient basis (without hospitalization), for both adult patients and children.

Advantages of emergency radiation therapy in EMC

Emergency care 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Highly qualified specialists with work experience in clinics in Israel and the USA
The most modern and effective methods of radiation therapy
Reducing the duration of treatment
Reduction of side effects due to the most accurate targeted effect on the tumor

Spinal cord compression treatment

A malignant tumor that exerts pressure on the spinal cord (metastatic spinal cord compression or MSCC) can cause symptoms such as pain, weakness, or tingling in the legs, as well as loss of control over urination or defecation. This situation is very serious, because if the pressure on the spinal cord continues, it will lead to permanent damage to the spinal cord. Therefore, if you experience any of the above symptoms, tell your doctor right away.

It is possible to carry out emergency radiation therapy at EMC and get advice on further treatment. The use of radiation therapy reduces the tumor and quickly relieves pressure on the spinal cord. The sooner this happens, the sooner the symptoms will disappear. In addition, it reduces the likelihood of permanent damage to the spinal cord.

Questions and answers

Is there a better sleep aide i can get other than what I have been using over the counter

Is there a better sleep aide i can get other than what I have been using over the counter. I know getting Ambian is a big hassle but is here something in between? I've been using Ambian for about 10 years almost daily, if it matters.

Rhinoplasty after 40

I would like to do a rhinoplasty, but it is said in some sources that “rhino” is not indicated after 40.

What to do first

What should I do first: Laser Fraxel and then the fillers, or Vice versa?

Malignant kidney tumor

CT scan revealed a malignant kidney tumor in my brother. The tumor size is 3x7, which corresponds to stage 2. Tell me, please, how long does it take for such a tumor to be developed? And is it possible to remove the tumor surgically (total kidney removal)?

Prostate cancer

I am 74 years old. Prostate cancer was diagnosed. Total PSA was 25.8 ng/ml. Outpatient check-up was carried out. Are "Zoladex" injections enough? Biopsy revealed moderately poorly-differentiated small-acinar prostate adenocarcinoma. Where to start?
