Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) allows for more conformal dose distributions that can reduce normal tissue ...
Treatment for prostate cancer varies depending on the stage and grade of the cancer and if it has spread to other body parts. Proton therapy delivers extremely precise, high doses of radiation directly to tumors, working to eliminate cancer cells while minimizing exposure ...
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced form of radiotherapy for the treatment of cancer that allows, on one hand, to administer a more homogeneous dose to the patients on the volume to irradiate (which would increase the local control of the disease), and on the other ...
