The outpatient clinics of the Oncology Clinic of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and the Motol University Hospital are located in the main building of the FNM on the 3rd floor at node D.

Every new patient who is treated at our clinic goes through this part of the clinic.

At the first visit, he is first taken in by the nurses at the reception, where they write down his basic data with the patient and check with which health insurance company he is registered. He is then admitted by a doctor who takes him and treats him.

There is an initial examination and the planning of additional examinations. Each patient is assigned a treating physician.

At the initial examination, the patient is acquainted in detail with the type of disease and its extent. At the same time, treatment is proposed. If the patient agrees to treatment, treatment is initiated.

Each patient signs an informed consent stating how information about his illness can be handled and which of his relatives and friends can be informed about his illness.

At the outpatient clinic, blood samples are taken for blood tests, biochemical tests and urine tests.

These examinations are part of both the controls during the treatment of the disease and after its termination and the long-term monitoring of the patient.

Long-term patient monitoring - dispensarization includes regular check-ups at various intervals in accordance with standard procedures. When the patient's condition worsens, checks are performed at shorter intervals as required by the patient's condition.

At the outpatient clinic, the cancer is treated in the following ways:

• chemotherapy
• biological treatment
• immunotherapy
• hormonal treatment

The application of chemotherapy and biological treatment takes place in a hospital

Scope of activity

At the workplace, we perform all techniques of intracavitary, interstitial, intraluminal and superficial brachytherapy, especially for tumors of the following locations:

• cervix
• uterine body
• vagina
• vulva
• prs
• bronchus
• ret
• skin
• nasopharynx
• esophagus
• anal canal
• lower part of the rectum
• bile ducts
• penis
• soft tissue sarcomas
• and preparations for the initiation of HDR prostate brachytherapy are completed

Statistical data

We perform 500 - 600 brachytherapy applications a year at the workplace. A significant part is the application of intracavitary brachytherapy in gynecological tumors, where brachytherapy forms a substantial part of radiation treatment protocols. As the number of breast-sparing operations increases, so does the number of interstitial breast applications. Indications for irradiation techniques are very strictly individually indicated.

Organization of work

Invasive techniques (interstitial brachytherapy, intracavitary uterine techniques) are performed under general anesthesia, which is provided by the anesthesiology and resuscitation clinic.

We perform application techniques requiring endoscopy in close cooperation with the relevant specialists.

The department has developed a quality assurance program both in terms of physical and technical, as well as in terms of organization and clinical. The responsibilities of individual employees for partial process steps are determined in detail and standard procedures for individual application techniques are developed. The irradiation plan is made for each application individually. A detailed database of individual patients and performed procedures is maintained to evaluate the results of treatment.

Ordering patients for brachytherapy treatment

Patients are indicated for irradiation of brachytherapy according to treatment protocols, either for separate brachytherapy or as part of combined radiation therapy with external radiotherapy. Brachytherapy is classified based on clinical need and there are virtually no waiting times. The order time is governed only by the connection to external radiotherapy or the healing time for postoperative irradiation. In addition to patients from our catchment area, we also irradiate patients from more distant areas with brachytherapy, where special brachytherapy techniques are not available.

One of the basic components of oncological treatment is radiation - radiotherapy. The section of external radiotherapy - telotherapy (irradiation room) is located outside the main building of the Motol University Hospital - on the ground floor of the building of the new pediatric oncology (see map, building no. 23). This section is divided into a section where preparation for irradiation takes place (simulator, planning computer tomograph / CT /, planning section, model laboratory) and own irradiation rooms with ambulances. The department is equipped with three irradiators - linear accelerators, which use photon radiation X 6 and 18 MV (Linac 1, 2) or 4 MV (Linac 3) for radiation, or radiation with accelerated electrons with energies 6,9,12,16 and 20 MeV (Linac 1, 2).

We irradiate about 1200 new patients a year. We provide both radical and palliative treatment, irradiation can take place as a treatment alone or in combination with brachytherapy or chemotherapy, it can be classified as either preoperative or postoperative treatment. The basic irradiation technique is 3D conformal radiotherapy, ie. radiation therapy, based on three-dimensional planning, where the irradiated volume is as close as possible to the treated area. Therefore, multiple input fields are used, which are shaped, and the dose distribution in the target volume and surrounding organs is evaluated according to dose volume histograms.

At our clinic, we also irradiate pediatric patients, and we also perform whole-body irradiation of children in preparation for a bone marrow transplant. Another special technique is stereotactic fractionated brain radiotherapy. We perform radiation intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT), in which we use an additional kilovoltage device attached to a linear accelerator.

Patients are sent for irradiation based on the decisions of consiliar examinations or multidisciplinary oncology teams. To decide on the method of radiation treatment, it is necessary to know complete information about the patient (anamnesis, concurrent diseases, the course of the current disease, imaging results, surgical findings, histological examination, imaging documentation) at the first visit of the patient to the irradiation facilities. Based on the examination of the patient and his documentation, the patient is focused on irradiation, in some cases including the production of special fixation aids, and then a planning CT examination. The patient is informed about the method of radiation treatment, receives instructions about treatment, and signs consent to radiation treatment.

At the second visit, the prepared irradiation plan is checked on the patient - the simulation of the irradiation plan on the radiotherapy simulator. Irradiation parameters and images of irradiation fields are entered into a computer verification system and are used for inspection at each irradiation.

The actual irradiation usually takes place daily except Saturdays and Sundays for several weeks.

The patient is regularly checked by a doctor, and blood tests are performed as needed. Checking the correct position of the patient during the irradiation cycle is performed by repeated imaging on the irradiator and by comparing the acquired images with reference images.

Procedure for ordering new patients to the Oncology Clinic of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine of the UK and Motol Medical Center

This procedure applies to the following situations:

• A doctor or patient (or his family) requests to take over an oncology patient under the care of the Oncology Clinic of the 2nd Faculty of Medicine of the UK and the Motol General Hospital

• The patient requests a second opinion on current and/or planned anti-tumor treatment (second opinion).

In order to order a patient, we require sending or delivering information about the reason for the order, the treatment to date and the examinations performed. In addition, it is necessary to provide contact information for the referring doctor (e-mail address and/or telephone number) and contact information for the patient (always telephone number or e-mail address).

The documentation should contain an overall report on the current course of the disease and its treatment, histology, possibly the surgical protocol, the results of essential examinations (laboratory examinations, descriptions of CT or other imaging examinations, etc.)

The above information can be supplied:

• By mail with documents attached as scans or photos. The email address of the clinic is onkologie@fnmotol.cz
  In person - bring to the oncology clinic file (main building of FN Motol, node D, 3rd floor)

• By mail to the clinic address

• In exceptional cases, the clinic can be contacted at 224434760

After sending the patient's documentation, the patient and/or the referring doctor will be informed within 5 working days whether the patient can be taken into our care and the date (date, time) of the patient's first visit to the oncology clinic.

Please note that the capacities of our clinic are limited and when deciding whether to accept a patient for treatment, we also take into account the availability of adequate oncology care closer to the patient's place of residence.
