Conformal Radiation Therapy
Conformal Radiation Therapy is a specialized form of radiation treatment designed to target tumors while minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues. It uses advanced imaging techniques to create a three-dimensional map of the tumor, allowing radiation beams to conform precisely to its shape. This precision helps to deliver higher doses of radiation directly to the cancer cells.
The technique is commonly used for various types of cancer, including breast cancer, lung cancer, and prostate cancer. By focusing the radiation more accurately, conformal radiation therapy can improve treatment effectiveness and reduce side effects, enhancing the overall quality of life for patients.
