Precision and Innovation in Radiation Oncology

The Department of Radiation Oncology at Samsung Medical Center delivers personalized, multidisciplinary radiotherapy using advanced imaging and precision techniques.

Our approach integrates cutting-edge technologies, robust multidisciplinary collaboration, and evidence-based practices to maximize therapeutic outcomes, minimize side effects, and enhance patient quality of life. Through continuous innovation and compassionate care, we strive to set global benchmarks in radiation oncology.

Advanced Image-Guided & Proton Therapy

Our department offers sophisticated radiotherapy through MRI-based planning, intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT), image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), surface-guided radiotherapy (SGRT), respiration-gated radiotherapy (RGRT), and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). We specialize in advanced respiratory management techniques to ensure precise and accurate radiation delivery, particularly for thoracic and abdominal tumors.

Our Proton Therapy Center, operational since 2015, incorporates advanced modalities such as pencil-beam scanning, cone-beam CT (CBCT)-guided proton therapy, intensity-modulated proton therapy (IMPT), stereotactic proton therapy, and respiratory-gated proton therapy, providing unmatched precision and minimal toxicity.

Specialized Expertise

Multidisciplinary Tumor Boards & Clinics

We conduct comprehensive, site-specific tumor boards across various cancer types, collaborating closely with surgical, medical, and pediatric oncology teams. This ensures well-coordinated, personalized care based on the latest evidence.

Hypofractionation & SBRT Expertise

Our department actively embraces modern approaches, including hypofractionated radiotherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT). We have extensive experience providing shorter, highly effective treatments tailored to individual patient conditions.

Pioneering Proton Therapy Research

We lead proton therapy advancements through extensive clinical experience and continuous research. Our ongoing investigations include experimental techniques such as FLASH radiotherapy, underscoring our commitment to innovation and patient benefit.

Research-Driven, Patient-Centered Care

We actively engage in innovative clinical trials and translational research, rapidly integrating the latest global findings into clinical practice. Our efforts balance technological advancement with patient safety and clinical effectiveness, continually establishing new standards in radiation oncology. Every aspect of our care emphasizes patient well-being, precision medicine, and compassionate, personalized treatment.
