intensity modulated radiation therapy (imrt)

What are the Benefits of IMRT?

The key benefits of IMRT include:
Precision: IMRT allows for highly precise targeting of the tumor, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding healthy tissues.
Higher Dosage: The ability to modulate the intensity of the beams means higher doses can be delivered to the tumor, potentially improving treatment efficacy.
Fewer Side Effects: By sparing healthy tissues, IMRT reduces the likelihood of side effects commonly associated with radiation therapy, such as fatigue, skin irritation, and damage to organs.
Improved Outcomes: Studies have shown that IMRT can lead to better treatment outcomes, including higher rates of tumor control and survival.
