What Are the Latest Developments in Radiation Therapy?
Radiation therapy has become more precise with advancements like Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and Proton Therapy. IMRT tailors the radiation dose to the shape of the tumor, minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissues. Proton Therapy uses protons rather than X-rays, offering more precise targeting and reducing side effects. Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) delivers high doses of radiation in fewer sessions, proving effective for certain types of cancer.
