In the past decade, CHSL has successfully administered radiation therapy via a Linear Accelerator at the Ceylinco Radiation Treatment Centre and via its TomoTherapy Centre, both located at Park Street, Colombo 2. Because a patient’s anatomy can change from day-to-day, image-guided radiation therapy helps doctors make immediate adjustments to allow for tumour movement or shrinkage, weight loss and other changes. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Sri Lanka’s leading life insurance company Ceylinco Life, CHSL’s two radiation treatment units are the most experienced and affordable private cancer treatment centres in the country. CHSL has upgraded its Radiation Treatment Centre with the acquisition of a new Linear Accelerator from Varian Medical Systems, a global leader in Radiation Oncology. The latest Clinac® iX linear accelerator replaced the older unit, which when commissioned in 2007, was the first linear accelerator in the country.
