The  Radiotherapy unit of RROC is the most equipped and advanced radiation therapy center in Iran .

With the help of modern devices and experienced specialists, this center is able to perform up-to-date treatment techniques such as   3DCRT, SBRT, SRS, DIBH, IMRT, IGRT .

For example, the  IMRT treatment technique will be able to preserve healthy and sensitive tissues around the tumor and therefore increase the amount of radiation reaching the tumor, which will lead to complete control and treatment of the tumor

Another advanced technique is the  DIBH technique (respiratory monitoring control) in which the treatment team informs the treatment team of the range of breathing and the condition of healthy and cancer tissues, and by this means the sensitive healthy tissues are removed from the radiation and Provides more controlled treatment for the patient
