10 Diagnostic facilities PET-CT scanner has brought new possibilities for detecting tumours before, during and after treatment, for cancer patients radiotherapy planning and follow-up of cancer patients. Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno klinikos
11 Diagnostic facilities Clinical laboratory and pathological anatomy clinics are fully equipped for clinical chemistry, genetic, hematologic, microbiologic and other diagnostic analysis. Laboratory performs more different diagnostic analysis /year. Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno klinikos
12 Radiotherapy infrastructure Radiotherapy in Kaunas is part of multimodality cancer care system; Four modern linear accelerators; IMRT, IGRT and stereotactic intracranial and body radiotherapy; Extensive HDR and LDR brachytherapy programme.

14 Role of radiation oncology for cancer control If RT is a treatment of choice, it is indicated when it offers: The best chance to cure The best improvement of local control The best of organ/function preservation The best palliation and/or The least side-effects
15 Why radiotherapy? Cured patients: 40% with RT (49% - surgery, 11% - chemotherapy) Indication to cure or improve survival 85% of the cases Overall 50% of new cancer patients would benefit from RT or least once Radiotherapy is one of the most cost-effective cancer treatment.
