Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital has surpassed 2,000 cases of radiation cancer treatment in one month after the opening of the new hospital
Jun 16, 2025
On the 16th, Cheonan Hospital (Hospital Director Lee Moon-soo) affiliated with Soonchunhyang University recently announced that it has surpassed 2,000 treatments for newly introduced radiation cancer treatment devices 'Truebeam' and 'Helcyon'.
The two treatment units, which began operating at the same time as the opening of the new hospital on May 7, once again confirmed the capacity of the region's best cancer treatment by achieving 2,000 cases as of June 12.
True Beam, which has the highest specifications among existing X-ray linear accelerators, is famous for being a cancer treatment device with fewer side effects by finely adjusting the range of radiation irradiation.
In the case of true beam, 155 cases (19%) of lung cancer were the highest, followed by ▲ 148 cases of head and neck cancer (18%), ▲ 130 cases of rectal cancer (16%), ▲ 110 cases of liver cancer (13%), ▲ 212 cases (25%). In particular, 75 cases (9%) of brain tumor treatment were recorded, and they were also actively used in the field of radiation brain surgery.
Healthion, called a patient-tailored cancer treatment device, accurately identifies the location of tumors and surrounding organs, protects normal tissues, and greatly increases treatment accuracy. In particular, a new medical technology that can be treated without separate marking (marking) was applied to the patient's body and was actively used to treat gynecological cancer.
589 breast cancer cases (49%) were the highest in the treatment of helsion, followed by ▲ 333 prostate cancer cases (28%), ▲ 85 uterine cancer cases (7%), ▲ 193 other cases (16%).
Director of the hospital Lee Moon-soo confirmed that the number of treatments was high within a month of the opening of the new hospital, and that high-quality treatment was provided to local cancer patients"We will do our best to provide good treatment results to more patients in the future."."
