With its Two Versa HD machines with (VMAT) technology (Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy), 57357’s radiotherapy department is setting new standards for radiation oncology treatment regarding speed and dose reduction to the patient.
More importantly, this new technology increases the precision of the physician in a way that maximizes the radiation dose to the target and minimizes exposure of healthy tissues to radiation.
Also, for the first time in Egypt, the department is equipped with an MR simulator in radiation treatment planning ensuring more protection of healthy cells and increased precision in tumor targeting.
It is noteworthy that 57357’s radiation oncology department is a designated training center by the International Atomic Energy Agency IAEA. All of the above points to the quality service provided which ensure better patient care, decreased side effects, and increased survival rates.

This sophisticated type of scan provided by 57357’s Nuclear Medicine department relies on the injection of the body with isotopes or radioactive material to detect the cancer at the cellular level or earliest formation. Offering the latest technology, 57357’s PET/CT unit is presently equipped with two machines, which help reduce waiting time of patients.
The PET/ CT test relies on a radioactive material the isotopes which have a certain half-life. Hospital 57357 owns the cyclotron equipment, which produces the isotopes. Doing the test at 57357 is secured by the on-site constant production of isotopes.
Moreover, the Nuclear Medicine department has initiated a novel detection technique based on the usage of radioactive material F18-FET. An agent in PET imaging particularly effective in Brain Tumors. The 57357 cyclotron is presently the first unit in the Middle East and Africa to produce the radioactive positron F18-FET.
Another test is offered to prostate cancer patients utilizing a third kind of radioactive material, the F18-PSMA, also produced by 57357’s cyclotron.

Throughout its 12 years of operation, 57357 is always alert and responsive when it comes to continuously improving its care and services, offering its patients( children from 0 to 18) for free, the latest equipment, technology, and evidence-based practices.
To the question people often raise what about adult patients? Do they profit from these services as well? We came up with the best formula, which is making the adult population benefit from our surplus services production at a competitive cost. As such, adults be it patients or healthcare professionals can profit from some of our quality services and at the same time be contributing to the treatment journey of the children with cancer.
Moreover, as the charity market in Egypt is growing and becoming more and more competitive which results in a steady decline in the amount of collected donations in favor of our children with cancer; revenues from the service surplus are becoming an important source of funds enabling us to ensure the sustainability of our operations and the free quality care to our patients.
57357’s surplus services have the advantage of being the most up to date on both the national and regional levels with respect to technology and equipment. The majority of these tests are made available at a competitive cost when compared with market price of similar services. But most importantly they are offered within a patient-center environment through a team of dedicated, skilled, passionate and compassionate professionals.
