  • The doctors meet once a week for a consultation to discuss each patient's treatment plan and any necessary modifications.

 

Innovative technology

  • Robotic surgery is a type of surgery that uses robots to perform.
  • The Da Vinci robot is used by surgeons to operate on the prostate, kidney, bladder, and other organs.
  • Surgical procedures have grown less traumatic due to modern technologies, and the recovery period has been cut in half.
  • TrueBeam STx from Varian: 
    • Radiation therapy may now be delivered with optimal efficiency thanks to the new linear gas pedal.
    • The device's key feature is its ability to target cancerous cells. Organs and healthy tissue are unaffected.

    • This is a sophisticated computer algorithm for determining radiation exposure.
    • It eliminates the human aspect and any errors in complex calculations, saving time and money.
    • Acuros XB creates a tailored radiation treatment plan based on the patient's unique characteristics, such as height, weight, and tumor location concerning adjacent tissues and organs.

 

Artificial Intelligence in Chemotherapy

  • Liv Hospital Ulus employs the most current treatment procedures to maximize the treatment process and improve the patient's prognosis.
  • To plan chemotherapy courses, the Department of Medical Oncology uses artificial intelligence.
  • A prior chemotherapy regimen is given to the doctor based on the patient's information:
    • Height, weight, and physical characteristics
    • Comorbidities' prevalence,
    • The extent to which underlying cancer has progressed and how severe it is

 

  • The chemotherapy dose is manufactured in an automated preparation unit after the oncologist reviews and approves the proposed treatment plan.
  • The patient's state, test findings, and side effects are all factors in determining the next chemotherapy dose.
  • Changes in treatment are automatically communicated to the doctor, nurse, and patient.
  • The artificial intelligence system improves communication between medical professionals and patients while also saving time by computing routine data automatically.

 

Medication therapy in its entirety

    • Maintenance therapy

 

  • Controlling Hair Loss
    • During chemotherapy, patients must wear a DigniCap, a unique device worn on the scalp.
    • This device actively cools the hair follicles.

  • Early gene research allows for the selection of disease-free embryos.
  • PGD improves a patient's chances of becoming pregnant while lowering the danger of miscarriage and multiple births.
  • The prenatal diagnosis is non-invasive.
  • Maternal blood can be used to diagnose a fetus using next-generation sequencing methods.
