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.

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.
