Thanks to the implementation of the national «Healthcare» project, advanced radiation therapy equipment has been deployed in the Republican Oncological Centre, granting the residents of the region access to state-of-the-art methods of cancer treatment.

The most recent linear accelerators allow for the treatment of inoperable tumors of various locations, including those affecting the brain. Radiation therapy proves particularly effective when the tumor is located close to vital organs and structures such as the brain, blood vessels, nerves and others.

In 2024, over 400 individuals received radiation therapy at the Radiation Therapy Department of the Republican Oncological Centre. Patients with brain, head, neck, breast, prostate, cervical, bladder, lung, esophageal, skin and metastatic tumors were treated.

Treatment under the obligatory medical insurance system is provided free of charge, with doctors, medical physicists and operators of the newly installed equipment having been trained in leading centers across the country.

Radiotherapy in Dagestan is conducted in accordance with the highest international standards set by the Radiation Therapy Oncology Group (RTOG) and the International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements (ICRU), ensuring optimal efficacy and safety. The importance of early detection of oncological conditions is underscored by radiotherapists, who advocate for regular screening and monitoring.
