Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy or control cancer cells. Treatment planning depends on tumor type, size, location, stage and surrounding normal tissues.
3DCRT uses three-dimensional imaging to shape radiation beams according to the tumor while limiting radiation exposure to surrounding healthy organs.
IMRT adjusts the intensity of radiation beams to deliver a highly conformal dose to the tumor while protecting nearby critical structures.
IGRT uses imaging before or during treatment to verify tumor position and improve the accuracy of radiation delivery.
Tomotherapy combines image guidance with rotational intensity-modulated radiation delivery, allowing complex tumors to be treated with highly conformal radiation doses.
Stereotactic radiotherapy delivers precisely focused radiation to selected tumors or lesions using advanced imaging and treatment planning techniques.
SRS delivers highly focused radiation to selected brain lesions and other intracranial conditions without the need for conventional surgical incisions.
Brachytherapy places a radioactive source directly inside or close to the tumor, allowing a concentrated radiation dose to be delivered while reducing exposure to surrounding tissues.
Radiotherapy may be recommended after breast-conserving surgery or mastectomy depending on cancer stage, tumor characteristics and recurrence risk.
Radiation treatment is frequently used for cancers affecting the oral cavity, throat, larynx and other head and neck regions, either alone or alongside chemotherapy and surgery.
Radiotherapy for lung cancer may involve conformal, intensity-modulated or stereotactic techniques depending on tumor stage, size, location and respiratory function.
Radiation therapy may be combined with chemotherapy and surgery in selected patients with esophageal cancer based on disease stage and tumor location.
Radiotherapy may form part of multidisciplinary treatment for selected stomach cancers, particularly when additional local disease control is required.
Radiotherapy is commonly used before or after surgery for selected rectal cancers to reduce tumor size, improve local disease control and lower recurrence risk.
Cervical cancer treatment may involve external beam radiotherapy combined with brachytherapy and chemotherapy depending on disease stage.
Radiation and systemic treatment may be considered for selected ovarian cancers as part of a broader multidisciplinary treatment strategy.
Radiotherapy may be recommended after surgery for selected endometrial cancers depending on tumor stage, pathology and recurrence risk.
Radiation therapy may be used as part of treatment for selected uterine cancers to improve local disease control.
Palliative radiotherapy may help relieve symptoms such as pain, bleeding, pressure or other complications caused by advanced cancer.
