This is the most common form, where a machine outside the body delivers high-energy radiation beams.
IMRT uses computer technology to shape the radiation beam for a more precise dose to the tumor.
IGRT utilizes real-time imaging during treatment to ensure accuratetargeting.
SBRT is a highly precise formdelivering a high dose in a few sessions, often used for smaller tumors.
Brachytherapy involves placing radioactive implants directly inside or near the tumor for a concentrated dose.
Radiation oncology uses high-energy beams to destroy cancer cells while sparing healthy tissues as much as possible.
Radiation oncologists meticulously map out the tumor location using imaging techniques like CT scans or MRIs. This ensures precise targeting of the radiation beams.
During treatment, a machine called a linear accelerator directs high-energy radiation beams toward the targeted area. Think of it as a powerful laser focusing its energy on a specific point.
Radiation disrupts the DNA of cancer cells, hindering their ability to grow and divide. Healthy cells are also affected, but to a lesser extent, and they have a greater capacity to repair themselves.
Radiation therapy is often delivered in a series of outpatient sessions over several weeks. The specific number of sessions and dosage depend on the type and stage of cancer being treated.
