Radiotherapy and Oncology Centre

Radiotherapy is one of the most commonly used treatment modalities for cancer. Depending on the type of cancer, it could be used alone or combined with other treatment modalities such as surgery, chemotherapy, targeted therapy or hormonal therapy.

Radiotherapy treats cancers by delivering high-energy radiation beams to cancer cells through sophisticated radiotherapy machines. These high-energy radiations destroy fast-growing cancer cells by damaging the DNA within these cells. Normal cells have better self-repairing capability, and thus, through individualised planning of treatment area and radiation dose, cancer cells can be destroyed by high dose while the surrounding healthy cells can recover from low dose received.

Radiotherapy is a localised treatment. It only affects the part of a body that is irradiated. This is the greatest difference between radiotherapy and chemotherapy which is a systemic treatment.

What our patients say

Gratitude Letter for Radiotherapy and Oncology clinic

I am writing this letter with a heart filled with gratitude. Thank you for recruiting a group of wonderful medical staff. Each one of them is devoted, committed, caring, patient, gentle, professional, and highly effective. I have been to hospitals in several countries such as Singapore, USA, UAE, and China. Gleneagles has given me a super pleasant and heartwarming experience.

It is really meaningful and helpful to allow patients to listen to their favourite music, which makes the treatment a soothing experience. I want to give thanks to the management/doctor who thought of such an original arrangement. Splendid!

You are all like guardian angels to the patient.

Radiotherapy and Oncology Centre staff are excellent and made a difficult treatment very pleasant!

Julie Chen

Miss Liana Tang exhibited professionalism, patience,caring and efficiency. She has provided excellent service taking care of me while sitting in the waiting room for radiotherapy.

Miss Tang Tang, gave me strength to overcome obstacles in life from our friendly conversations during my visit to your Radiotherapy Department. Her beautiful smiles and friendly attitude eliminate my pressure and fear towards radiotherapy. Without her assistance, I did not think I would finish the whole process of the radiotherapy in such a peaceful manner.

My gratitude towards her from saving of my life and she deserves a reward.
