How can virtual reality (VR) be used in cancer care?
Virtual reality (VR) has emerging applications in cancer care, including pain management, patient education, and surgical planning. VR can provide immersive experiences that distract patients from pain and anxiety during treatments. For educational purposes, VR can create 3D models of tumors and treatment procedures, helping patients understand their condition and the planned interventions. In surgical planning, VR allows surgeons to visualize and practice complex procedures, improving precision and outcomes.
