Shenzhen Bao'an People's Hospital, as one of the earliest medical institutions in Shenzhen to specialise in radiation therapy, has accumulated valuable expertise in this field since the establishment of its Radiation Oncology Department in 2000. Over more than two decades of dedicated effort and continuous development, the department has brought together a multidisciplinary team of 15 professionals across five key areas: clinical oncology, radiation physics, biomedical engineering, radiation therapy, and clinical nursing. Among them are one chief physician, one associate chief physician, five attending physicians, four PhD holders, and three master's degree holders. The team has consistently prioritised regular professional training and actively promotes multidisciplinary collaboration to provide high-quality medical services to patients. They have not only gained extensive experience in radiotherapy but also continuously explore and innovate in clinical practice to deliver cutting-edge treatment options to patients.
By 2020, the department completed a comprehensive upgrade of its equipment. It is now equipped with advanced technologies, including one Elekta Precise-VMAT linear accelerator, one GE Discovery RT large-bore CT simulator with 4D respiratory gating, and one Elekta microSelectron brachytherapy machine. Additionally, the department has introduced the Monaco treatment planning system, the MOSAIQ radiotherapy workflow management system, Germany's PTW radiotherapy dosimetry and quality control equipment, and the OCTAVIUS IMRT plan dose verification system. These advancements have significantly enhanced the department's treatment capabilities, enabling more precise and safer treatment options for patients.
The department primarily focuses on the treatment of malignant tumors, including head and neck cancers, breast cancer, Gynecologic cancers, respiratory system cancers, neurological cancers, gastrointestinal cancers, lymphatic cancers, urogenital cancers, skin and soft tissue cancers, and bone tumors. It also addresses certain benign conditions such as keloids, pigmented villonodular synovitis, and thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. The department offers a range of advanced therapies, including Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy (VMAT), Three-Dimensional Conformal Radiation Therapy (3DCRT), electron beam therapy, and conventional radiation therapy. Through comprehensive quality control management of radiotherapy equipment and patient treatment workflows, the department's radiotherapy techniques have reached internationally advanced standards. We remain steadfast in our patient-centred approach, continuously optimising treatment processes, improving outcomes, and reducing risks, bringing hope and possibilities to our patients.
