Radiation therapy uses high-energy radiation to destroy or control cancer cells while treatment planning aims to reduce radiation exposure to healthy tissues.
IMRT adjusts the intensity of radiation beams to accurately conform treatment to the shape of the tumor while limiting exposure to nearby healthy organs.
IGRT uses imaging during treatment sessions to confirm tumor position and improve the precision of radiation delivery.
SRS delivers highly focused radiation to small and clearly defined targets, particularly in selected neurological and intracranial conditions.
SBRT delivers highly focused doses of radiation to selected tumors outside the brain over a limited number of treatment sessions.
Intracavitary brachytherapy places a radiation source within a body cavity close to the tumor and is commonly used for selected gynecological cancers.
Radiation therapy for neurological tumors is planned according to tumor type, location and surrounding critical brain or spinal structures.
Radiotherapy for gynecological malignancies may include external beam radiation and brachytherapy depending on cancer type and stage.
Pediatric radiation therapy requires careful treatment planning to effectively treat cancer while minimising radiation exposure to developing tissues.
Palliative radiotherapy may be used to reduce symptoms such as pain, bleeding or pressure caused by advanced cancer and improve quality of life.
