Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital operates the first female cancer-only radiation cancer treatment device at a university hospital nationwide
Oct 30, 2025
Cheonan Hospital (Hospital Director Lee Moon-soo) affiliated with Soonchunhyang University will operate a radiation cancer treatment device for women's cancer for the first time in the country from November.
The hospital is currently operating three world-class radiation cancer treatment devices, and among them, Varian Corporation of the United States operates 'Helsion' as a treatment plane for women's cancer (bubble cancer, cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, ovarian cancer, etc.).
Helcion is a patient-tailored cancer treatment device with high-resolution imaging functions that accurately identifies the location of tumors and surrounding organs to protect normal tissues and greatly increase treatment accuracy.
In addition, the treatment speed is up to four times faster than before, and there is less noise and more internal space, providing a more comfortable treatment environment for patients.
In particular, a new medical technology, the surface-guided radiation therapy (SGRT) system, is introduced together, allowing patients to be treated without a separate marking (marking) on their bodies.
Director Cho In-young (Department of Radiation Oncology) explained, "In the past, ink or tattoos were drawn on the treatment area to prevent side effects such as dermatitis from occurring or the mark from being erased. SGRT is the latest female-friendly radiation technology that can be treated without marking the treatment area.".
In addition, Soonchunhyang University Cheonan Hospital plans to deploy additional female radiologists to protect the privacy of patients who occur during women's cancer treatment and to help emotional stability.
Director of the hospital Lee Moon-soo "We have established a treatment environment that minimizes the inconvenience of female cancer patients and takes care of their hearts."We will establish ourselves as a representative cancer treatment hospital trusted by local residents..." he said.
