Advancements in radiation therapy include techniques like Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT), and Proton Therapy. These techniques allow for more precise delivery of radiation, minimizing damage to surrounding healthy tissues and improving outcomes. IMRT uses computer-controlled linear accelerators to deliver precise radiation doses, while SBRT delivers high doses of radiation with extreme accuracy. Proton therapy uses protons instead of X-rays, allowing for even more precision.
