1 HOSPITAL OF LITHUANIAN UNIVERSITY OF HEALTH SCIENCES KAUNO KLINIKOS RADIOTHERAPY- CURRENT SITUATION AND FUTURE TRENDS Prof. Elona Juozaitytė Perspectives of Czech- Lithuanian Research Partnerships

2 About Lithuanian University of Health Sciences The largest institution of higher education for biomedical sciences in Lithuania; Integration of studies, research and clinical practice. Consists of two main academies: Medical Academy and Veterinary Academy. Includes 7 faculties, 6 research institutes, two animal clinics and the Hospital of LUHS. Over 7,000 students. Problem-based learning is a teaching method practiced by the Faculty of Medicine.

3 Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno klinikos The largest health care institution in Lithuania. Established in Providing high-quality, accessible medical services for patients from Lithuania, EU and other countries.

4 Hospital in numbers 35 clinical departments; 4 affiliated hospitals; 10 diagnostic and interventional units; 2400 hospital beds; 16 rare disease management coordination centers; Area m 2 Buildings - 26 Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno klinikos

9 Diagnostic facilities Innovative diagnostic radiology centre with facilities for computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, DEXA bone density scanning, mammography, radioisotope scanning, X-ray and others Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno klinikos

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. Ahmad AS, Ormiston-Smith N, Sasieni PD. Br J Cancer 2015 Price P., Sikora K Jacobs S et al Delaney et al. 2005

16 Improving radiotherapy delivery

17 New techniques Dose Big Protons Stereotactic RT IGRT IMRT Conformal RT low small target Conventional RT big

18 Radiotherapy wish list Conform radiation to tumour; Maximum damage to tumour; Minimum damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Precision vs. accuracy: IMRT (precise) vs. IGRT (accurate)

19 Head & neck cancer 3D-RT VS IMRT Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno klinikos

20 Intensity modulation; Image guidance; Stereotactic approach: radiosurgery, Stereotactic intracranial radiotherapy, stereotactic body radiotherapy, Dose intensive treatment; High precision radiotherapy Short treatment time. Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences Kauno klinikos
