Amethyst Austria Featured In Die Presse

Amethyst Radiotherapy Austria is proud to announce that it has been featured in daily broadsheet newspaper Die Presse, covering the precise cancer treatments available at the centre, including advanced imaging and highly accurate therapy application.

What sets radiotherapy treatment here apart is that the tumour is targeted exclusively, with healthy tissue protected. By using precise imaging and applications, practitioners are able to apply the therapy exactly where it needs to be, which minimises the risk to healthy tissue.

For example, in one case study, a patient presented with recurrent aggressive meningioma in the meninges. She had already had surgery and radiation therapy, but opted to seek help from Amethyst Radiotherapy Austria to prevent a relapse.

Because of previous treatment and the specific location of the tumour, further surgery wasn’t possible and conventional approaches to radiation therapy would bring with it significant risks.

As an alternative, we focused on advanced PET-CT imaging with stereotactic radiotherapy, using identical immobilisation and positioning techniques, with submillimeter precision.

This ensured that the treatment could be focused exclusively on the actively growing areas, making administration of a second curative dose possible.
