First in Canada cancer radiation machine in Kelowna
Cancer radiation treatments are becoming faster thanks to a new machine in Kelowna that’s the first of it’s kind in Canada.
With the older machines, radiation treatment is the same everyday, and when, for example, someone’s tumor gets smaller, the team of doctors has to create a new plan that could take days to make and put in place. Bachard added that the machine does around 80 per cent of the work while they complete the other 20 per cent.
It’s been a long process not just for BC Cancer Kelowna, but for cancer centres around the world to use this new technology. This machine got FDA approved in 2020 and approved by Health Canada around a year ago. Before it was even approved, the Kelowna centre was looking at purchasing one. When the technology got approved by Health Canada, Kelowna was in line to purchase the machine.
Whether the machine is old or new, the centre is able to treat 30 patients a day but are hoping they are able to treat more in a day with the nech machine. Because its still so new, it’s too early to tell.And while this machine is the lately and greatest, the older machine are still effective in eliminated one’s cancer as some machines are tailored to different types of cancer.
