Radiation therapy impacts cancer locally to destroy cancer cells. It’s appointed to a patient in the radical (in order to be cured), neoadjuvant (for pre-operative preparation), adjuvant (as an assisting therapy in post-operative period) and palliative (for reducing the symptomatic caused by cancer and improving quality of life) regimes
Each personnel of National Center of Surgery's radiotherapy department is strictly guided by the international guidelines.
So-called medical tourism is successfully conducted in the radiotherapy department. For oncologic disease treatment, the clinic is visited not only by the Georgian citizens but also by foreign guests.

It should be noted that radiation therapy in modern oncology is one of the main treatment methods that is necessary to use for min. 50% of the diseased people on different stages of the battle against cancer.
Since the establishment of the radiotherapy department in National Center of Surgery, many patients have utilized high-quality medical assistance using qualified medical staff and ultramodern technologies.
