IMRT, for example, is an advanced form of photon-based radiation that allows oncologists to shape and modulate the radiation beams to conform to the three-dimensional shape of a tumor.
Photon beams can reach tumors deep inside the body but scatter bits of radiation along the way, which can lead to side effects in the area treated. IMRT, for example, is an advanced form of photon ...
For patients with intermediate- or low-risk localized prostate cancer, intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton beam therapy are both safe and effective options, according to ...
Radiation therapy treats cancer by using high-energy waves to kill tumor cells. The goal is to destroy or damage the cancer without hurting too many healthy cells. It is given over a certain time ...
