Using a state-of-the-art Varian TrueBeam linear accelerator, Icon Oncology Malaysia provide precise radiation therapy treatment for all cancer types.

HyperArc: An advanced technique that precisely targets multiple intra-cranial metastases with high doses of radiation whilst minimising doses to surrounding healthy brain tissue

Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT):  A technique that utilises advanced equipment and computer software (including MRI, CT and x-ray) to precisely target a tumour with radiation beams

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT): A technique that delivers high dose radiation therapy to cancerous tumours, while limiting the impact of radiation on healthy surrounding tissue

Stereotactic Radiation Therapy: An advanced technique that delivers pinpoint precise radiation therapy to treat small tumours with well-defined edges, including tumours that have spread from a primary cancer

Volumetric Modulated Radiation Therapy (VMAT): A technique that delivers radiation therapy beams in a series of arcs or angles by a rotating machine to allow for greater access to a cancerous tumour

Deep Inspiration Breath Hold (DIBH): A technique for breast cancer patients that reduces the potential impact of radiation on the heart
