The 3 Pillars of Our Care

Top Technology
High Scientific Training
Human, Personalized Care
Stereotactic Radiosurgery & Radiotherapy

High Precision Therapies — SRS & SBRT
Stereotactic Radiotherapy and Radiosurgery are non-invasive methods that allow the administration of high doses of radiation with an accuracy of less than 1mm — without incisions and without anesthesia.
 
They are applied to:
-Primary & Metastatic Tumors
-Brain
-Spine
-Other organs of the body


The high precision of our technology allows the treatment of even the smallest tumors, in difficult anatomical positions

BRAVOS Brachytherapy System — HDR

Specialized high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy applications for:

-Gynecological tumors of the endometrium & cervix

-Intraventricular application with precise targeting

-High dose to the tumor without burdening healthy tissues

-Using international therapeutic protocols and absolute protection of adjacent tissues.

Center for Clinical Studies

Guided by scientific innovation and the safety of our patients, the Clinical Studies Centre of AGIOS LUCAS actively participates in more than 150 clinical studies, contributing to the development of oncology treatments and pharmaceutical preparations.

These are new drug therapies, new combinations of therapies or newer therapeutic strategies for specific types of cancer and are designed according to strict scientific and ethical standards and involve selected patient groups, based on the type of disease, stage, biological characteristics of the tumor and history of previous treatments.

For the patient, participation in a clinical study may mean:

- access to innovative treatment options before they become part of standard clinical practice,
- close and systematic medical monitoring throughout treatment,
- care within the framework of an organized protocol with clearly defined safety criteria.

Inclusion in a clinical study is completely optionaland is carried out only after the patient is thoroughly informed about the treatment plan, the potential benefits, the potential risks and the alternative treatment options available. The final decision is made jointly between the patient and the attending oncologist.

Why choose the Clinic “AGIOS LUCAS”?

Specialized Center

The services are provided by the scientifically responsible orthopedic surgeon, in collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of doctors, biologists, nurses, physiotherapists and gymnasts. The integrated framework of the clinic with a specialized team of scientists is our duty to the patients who trust us.

Modern and certified equipment

The Orthopaedic Clinic of Regenerative Medicine is equipped with modern and excellent machines for the application of the methods of regenerative medicine. The materials used for the manufacture of stem cells and PRPs are certified and manufactured in Germany and Switzerland.

Safety and Effectiveness

The main advantage is that these treatments, being biological, are not a medicine, as a result of which they are the safest that can be applied. They also do not simply aim to mask the symptoms, but enhance the body's ability to heal. Thus, they are an alternative, without side effects, to accelerate the healing of the affected tissue and in many cases avoid an upcoming surgery.

Guidance after treatment

Even after treatment, we are constantly next to the patient. Usually, a physiotherapy program is given with instructions to the physical therapist. The program is individualized for each condition and tailored to the needs of the particular patient. Finally, we carry out regular rechecks to assess the improvement objectively.
