Detailed Services and Their Benefits to Patients

1. Surgical Oncology (Cancer Surgery)

Shefaa Al Orman has four advanced operating rooms designed to handle complex cancer surgeries with high precision. These surgeries are critical for patients whose cancers can be partially or fully removed. Conditions treated surgically include:

• Breast cancer

• Lung cancer

• Gastrointestinal cancers (colon, stomach, pancreas)

• Head and neck cancers

• Brain and spinal tumors (CNS)

Advanced surgical tools available include:

• Laparoscopic systems for minimally invasive operations

• Surgical microscopes for neurosurgery

• Nano Knife and CUSA for delicate tumor removal

• Laser and ultrasonic cutting tools for high-precision procedures

These technologies allow for safer procedures, faster recovery, and minimal scarring — particularly important for international patients with limited travel time.

2. Endoscopy Unit

This unit specializes in non-invasive diagnostics and tumor evaluations using advanced endoscopic techniques. It is ideal for patients experiencing symptoms but lacking a clear diagnosis, or those needing confirmation before surgery or treatment.

Services include:

• Upper and lower GI endoscopy for stomach and colon cancer detection

• ERCP and EUS for bile duct and pancreatic evaluations

• Bronchoscopy for lung-related symptoms

• Fiberoptic laryngoscopy for throat and vocal cord issues

• Sinus endoscopy for head and neck evaluations

These procedures support early diagnosis, treatment planning, and biopsy collection without surgical incisions.

3. Radiotherapy and Brachytherapy

Shefaa Al Orman offers comprehensive radiation oncology services, essential for patients requiring non-surgical cancer treatment or post-surgical control.

Types of radiation therapy:

• External radiotherapy (e.g. LINAC) for localized tumor control

• High-Dose Rate (HDR) Brachytherapy, ideal for cervical, uterine, and prostate cancer

Brachytherapy features:

• Cobalt-60 source with a 5-year half-life

• Flexitron afterloader for enhanced safety

• 3D-guided brachytherapy applicators

• No or light anesthesia depending on the case

CT-Simulation:

• Conducted using Siemens CT-Simulator to create a 3D map of the tumor before treatment starts

This service is especially suitable for international patients who require a short number of treatment sessions (3–5) with high accuracy.
