Introduction of the
precision radiation therapy

Experience world-class cancer care at the Precision Oncology Center of Guangdong Tongjiang Hospital. At the Precision Oncology Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Guangdong Tongjiang Hospital, we are redefining cancer care through cutting-edge technology, global expertise, and a deeply personalized approach.

Irradiation based on systemic therapy

This pioneering approach revolutionizes cancer treatment by integrating radiotherapy with systemic pharmacotherapy in a scientifically coordinated manner. The result: significantly reduced treatment-related toxicity and a remarkable boost in clinical effectiveness.


Enhanced precision radiotherapy for head & neck, thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic tumors

Our advanced Halcyon linear accelerator delivers a new standard in precision radiotherapy. With KV-level iterative cone-beam CT (iCBCT) imaging performed before every session, we achieve 100% image-guided radiotherapy-allowing real-time tumor tracking throughout the entire treatment process and ensuring precise targeting every time.

Halcyon accelerates treatment delivery to be up to four times faster than traditional systems, reducing the average treatment time to under three minutes. This not only enhances patient comfort but also minimizes motion-related targeting errors.

High-accuracy CT simulation and MR image fusion further sharpen the definition between tumor and healthy tissues, ensuring accurate, consistent radiation delivery. By eliminating risks of under-treatment or mis-targeting.


Hypofractionated Radiotherapy Technology for Breast Cancer

Hypofractionated radiotherapy for breast cancer aligns with the biological characteristics of breast cancer. By increasing the fractional dose, it reduces the total radiation dose while maintaining therapeutic efficacy equivalent to conventional radiotherapy. It results in milder acute skin reactions, with late reactions remaining comparable. Furthermore, hypofractionated radiotherapy significantly shortens the overall treatment course and alleviates the economic burden on patients. The center prioritizes hypofractionated radiotherapy for both post-modified radical mastectomy and post-breast-conserving surgery radiotherapy.


Precision Tumor Diagnosis and Treatment

  • Early Screening: Detects millimeter-level tumor lesions, outperforming traditional imaging modalities.
  • Nature Differentiation: Determines the benign or malignant nature of tumors, avoiding unnecessary biopsies.
  • Full-Course Assessment: Clarifies tumor size, invasion range, and metastasis status to assist in formulating treatment plans.
  • Neurology: Localization of epileptic foci and early diagnosis of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
  • High-End Health Examinations
  • For high-risk groups (e.g., individuals with a family history of tumors, patients with long-term chronic diseases), it provides comprehensive whole-body examinations to achieve "early detection and early intervention".

Common Pain Points for Cancer Patients

Cancer patients often face the following core pain points during their medical care process:

1. Delayed Diagnosis and Uncertainty

Early symptoms are not obvious, leading to detection at middle or late stages.

Traditional imaging examinations are prone to missed or incorrect diagnoses, and patients often need multiple tests to confirm the diagnosis.

2. Inaccurate Treatment Plans and Difficulty in Multidisciplinary Coordination

Treatment is often carried out in a single department, lacking multidisciplinary consultation (MDT), with insufficient personalized plans.

Traditional radiotherapy and chemotherapy have significant side effects, causing a noticeable decline in patients' quality of life.

3. Insufficient Cancer Pain Management

About 30%-50% of cancer patients experience cancer pain, and in advanced stages, it exceeds 80%.

Pain takes various forms (dull pain, sharp pain, burning pain, neuropathic pain, etc.), is often underestimated or inadequately treated, resulting in anxiety, sleep disorders, and decreased appetite.

4. Complicated Medical Process and Long Waiting Times

Difficulty in registration, long queues for examination appointments, and time-consuming cross-department coordination.

Non-standard medical records or translation issues (especially in cross-border medical care) affect subsequent treatment. 

5. Heavy Psychological and Financial Burden

Fear after diagnosis and psychological stress caused by treatment side effects.

High treatment costs and accessibility issues for new drugs.

Standardized tumor treatment process

The typical tumor treatment process can be divided into the following six main steps:

 1. Preliminary Screening and Consultation

For individuals with suspicious symptoms or high-risk groups, undergo tumor marker tests, imaging (such as PET-CT), etc., → then register for outpatient consultation.

2. Clear Diagnosis

Imaging examinations (CT, MRI, PET-CT)  Biopsy/Pathological examination → determine the tumor type, stage, and perform genetic testing.

3. Multidisciplinary Consultation (MDT)

Joint discussion by tumor oncology, surgery, radiotherapy, pathology, imaging, and other departments to develop a personalized treatment plan.

4. Treatment Implementation

  • Surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, cell therapy, etc. (can be combined).
  • Precision radiotherapy (such as image-guided radiotherapy) or advanced treatments like CAR-T.

5. Cancer Pain Management and Supportive Care

Conduct pain assessment and standardized pain management simultaneously, combined with palliative care to improve quality of life.

6. Follow-up and Rehabilitation

Regular re-examination, monitoring for recurrence, nutritional support, psychological intervention, entering long-term management phase.

Tumor diagnosis and equipment

Varian Halcyon Accelerator represents a global milestone in precision radiotherapy. As the core of an intelligent radiotherapy platform, Halcyon seamlessly integrates precision, efficiency, intelligence, safety, and comfort, making it the trusted choice of top-tier oncology centers worldwide.

Precision: Before every treatment session, Halcyon performs KV-level iterative cone-beam CT (iCBCT) image reconstruction, enabling 100% image-guided radiotherapy. It maintains continuous real-time tracking of tumor position throughout the session, ensuring each patient receives the most accurate and targeted therapy available.

Efficiency: With a streamlined, automated workflow, patient positioning begins with a single click. Imaging and treatment initiation take just seconds, and upon completion, patients are smoothly guided out with another single click. The entire process is completed in just 5 to 6 minutes, minimizing wait times and enhancing throughput.

Intelligence: Halcyon's radiation delivery is standardized to a uniform gold standard, ensuring consistent treatment quality across all equipped centers worldwide. Patients receive world-class care without the need for international travel.

Safety: The system features a unique closed-ring gantry design that prevents physical collisions between the gantry and patient. An integrated monitoring system continuously detects patient movement, while a low-noise intercom system allows for real-time communication with radiation therapists, ensuring both safety and peace of mind.
