Radiation therapy activity

  • Следоперативно лъчелечение
Следоперативно лъчелечение

It is performed for malignant tumors of the breast, gynecological tumors/carcinomas of the cervix, body of the uterus, vagina and vulva /, rectum, bladder, kidney, renal pelvis and ureter, tumors of the head and neck/brain, naso-meso, and hypopharynx, larynx, oral cavity and gums, nasal cavity and sinuses /, skin, testicular tumors/seminoma/, superficial and deep sarcomas, pediatric solid tumors, Hodgkin’s and non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas.


  • Postoperative radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy
Postoperative radiotherapy combined with chemotherapy

It is performed for malignant tumors of the breast together with targeted therapy, gynecological tumors/carcinomas of the cervix, body of the uterus, rectum, bladder, renal pelvis and ureter, tumors of the head and neck/brain, meso and hypopharynx, larynx, oral cavity, gums, nasal cavity and sinuses.


  • Preoperative radiotherapy
Preoperative radiotherapy

It is performed in locally advanced carcinomas of the rectum and gynecological carcinomas / of the cervix and uterine body / in adult patients who due to concomitant diseases are not subject to radiation therapy combined with chemotherapy.


  • Combined with chemotherapy preoperative radiotherapy
Combined with chemotherapy preoperative radiotherapy

Extremely effective combination treatment, which is used in locally advanced carcinomas of the rectum and gynecological carcinomas / of the cervix and uterine body. The treatment results are much better compared to the operation performed, followed by radiotherapy. A common fact is the lack of tumor cells in the surgical material in carcinomas of the rectum and cervix after preoperative combined chemo-radiotherapy.


  • Self-radiotherapy
Self-radiotherapy

It is used with organ-preserving functional effect in initial laryngeal carcinomas of the vocal cords, in skin carcinomas, for palliative purposes in patients with distant metastases for analgesia, decompressive (in metastases with compression of the spinal cord with the risk of paralysis), or in mediastinal syndrome. of Vena Kava /, hemostatic and for tumor reduction / esophageal carcinomas. With analgesic and anti-inflammatory purposes with low radiation doses are successfully treated joint-degenerative diseases such as gonarthrosis, periarthritis humeroscapularis/inflammation in the shoulder /, exostoses/thorns / in the heel, foot, palm, bone panaritium of Dupuytren.


  • Independently combined with chemotherapy radiotherapy
Independently combined with chemotherapy radiotherapy

It is mainly used for locally advanced tumors in ENT tumors / in the area of the oral cavity, larynx, nasopharynx, meso and hypopharynx. In the case of laryngeal and hypopharyngeal carcinomas, previously combined radiotherapy requires surgical tracheostomy and cannulation. It is effective in advanced inoperable carcinomas of the rectum, gynecological tumors/cervix, and uterine body /, carcinomas of the urinary tract.

Radiotherapy equipment and applied radiotherapy techniques

Under the Operational Program “Regional Development” 2007-2013, co-financed by the European Union through the European Regional Development Fund, after a license from the NRA Series I-81069 with registration number 04436 / 19.06.2014, in KOC-Ruse EOOD was introduced in the operation of a new radiotherapy complex, equipped with high-tech radiotherapy and dosimetric equipment, including a linear accelerator “Electa Synergy Platform” with a virtual computer tomograph “Siemens” for planning radiotherapy. The linear accelerator has the ability to apply all high-tech radiotherapy techniques such as 3D conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT), intensive modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), IMRT by the method of Volumetric Modulated Arch Therapy (VMAT), radiosurgery and hypofractional coronary radiotherapy. The department has a device for telegamma therapy (Terabalt) with capabilities for 3D planning of radiotherapy, as well as a device for superficial X-ray therapy of skin tumors and superficial benign and malignant tumors.


  • Conditions for working with patients on the linear accelerator in COC-Ruse
Conditions for working with patients on the linear accelerator in COC-Ruse
  1. Patients with an assessment of radiotherapy or combined radiochemical treatment by oncology committees throughout the country, who chose to be treated in the Department of Radiotherapy at COC – Ruse.

These patients are consulted every working day in the Admissions Office № 24 from 8.00 am to 2.30 pm with the available documentation from another medical institution in the country. After the consultation, at the assessment of radiotherapy, the respective patient is assigned a day and time to appear for radiotherapy in order to prepare for radiotherapy / performing localized CT /. The patient is recorded on the waiting list. If preliminary preparation is needed for the planning of the radiotherapy, it is explained in detail by the nurse in the office.

  1. The same way of consultation applies to patients who have passed to internal or external oncology committees at COC-Ruse.

  • Established path for radiotherapy of a patient with malignant disease in Bulgaria
Established path for radiotherapy of a patient with malignant disease in Bulgaria
  • Diagnosis by a doctor in a specialized outpatient clinic or health facility after a biopsy (tissue sample from the tumor) or after surgery.
  • The Oncology Commission examines each oncology clinical case and issues a protocol from the OC with дата and date indicating the necessary complex treatment (surgical, chemotherapeutic, radiotherapy, alone or in combination with chemotherapy), as well as the necessary sequence of different treatment methods, directly depending on the stage of the disease and the patient’s condition.
  • In case of need for a more specific radiotherapeutic method/brachytherapy / or at the patient’s request, the oncology commission refers the patient to the respective medical institution.
  • If dispensary observation is necessary, the patient is referred to the respective polyclinic office in which it should be performed.

  • Preparation for radiotherapy
Preparation for radiotherapy

During the consultation in the polyclinic room №24 the respective radiotherapist will review the medical documentation and the performed imaging examinations (CT, MRI, PET / CT, etc.), will perform a medical examination, if necessary will appoint additional tests, and will assess the possibilities. for radiotherapy (LL), its scheme and dose fractionation. You will be told about the potential risks and benefits of treatment. With your consent for LL, you will be given a date for hospital/inpatient or day hospital/admission and what are the necessary documents that you must carry.

Upon admission to the LL Department, the nurse in к24 will provide you with a series of documents for informed consent. Signing them means that you agree to conduct LL in the relevant clinic and by the relevant staff. A medical history (IL) will be drawn up, which contains important medical information about you and your illness. After the stationary/stay or day stationary/admission, the preparation of the radiotherapy plan is started. For this purpose, it is necessary to perform computed tomography (CT) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). To accurately center the radiotherapy during the scan on the patient’s skin, markers are outlined that must be preserved throughout the LL period. In LL of tumors in the area of ​​the head and neck, thermoplastic masks are prepared, which are attached to the mass of the scanner and the accelerator, with the help of a special pad for positioning the patient; they are placed while they are slightly warm and elastic, and after they harden they hold the head, neck and shoulder girdle motionless during the radiotherapy. After the localization CT scan, the radiotherapist outlines the normal organs and tissues with the respective radiotherapy volumes, determines the scheme of radiotherapy with the daily and total radiation dose, as well as the number of radiation fractions. In the second stage, dosimetric planning begins with medical physicists, which determines the direction of the beam, the distribution of the radiation dose in the radiotherapy volumes, and in the nearby normal tissues and organs, which are strictly protected by protection built into the head of the device.
