Several types of life-saving equipment are essential in cancer treatment. These include:
Radiation Therapy Machines: Devices like linear accelerators (LINAC) deliver precise doses of radiation to cancer cells, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Chemotherapy Infusion Pumps: These pumps ensure accurate delivery of chemotherapy drugs over a specified period, optimizing treatment efficacy. Imaging Equipment: CT scanners, MRI machines, and PET scanners are critical for accurate diagnosis, staging, and monitoring of cancer. Surgical Robots: Advanced robots like the da Vinci Surgical System enable minimally invasive surgeries with higher precision and faster recovery times. Biopsy Needles and Kits: Essential for obtaining tissue samples for pathological examination and accurate diagnosis. Cryotherapy Units: Used to freeze and destroy abnormal cells, particularly in localized cancers.
