In a qualitative leap towards alleviating the suffering of Cancer patients in northern Syria, a linear accelerator device arrived at Afrin Hospital, which the Al-AminOrganization supports, it is designed to give radiotherapy to tumors, with a pet scan device, which will reduce the number of referrals to Turkish hospitals to less than a third.

This device can improve the quality of treatment for oncology patients in northwest Syria, reduce the suffering that oncology patients, and reduce the burden on the Turkish side, Through the Pet Scan device, it is possible to accurately detect the location and spread of tumors and follow up on the treatment evaluation for tumor patients by measuring the metabolic activity of tumor and healthy cells to differentiate between them.

The linear accelerator device projects high-energy beams of more than 18 megawatts carrying electrons and protons onto the tumor, directing the radiation to cancerous tumors with extreme precision, while preserving nearby healthy tissue, It is used to provide several types of external radiation therapy, including Imaging-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), which is used in cancers of the breast, rectum, uterus, brain, and others, increases the chances of patients being cured and does not have to travel to Turkey and bear the physical burdens and material costs, and the accompanying bad psychological state of patients, as a result of their distance from their families and badness of housing services and the accommodation available for patients there.
