External Beam Radiation Therapy (EBRT)
EBRT is one of the most common forms of radiation therapy, where beams of high-energy radiation are precisely aimed at the cancerous area from outside the body. Our hospital uses advanced imaging techniques to ensure precise targeting, minimizing harm to surrounding healthy tissues.
Internal Radiation Therapy (Brachytherapy)
In brachytherapy, a radioactive source is placed directly inside or near the tumor. This approach delivers high doses of radiation to the tumor while sparing nearby healthy tissue, making it especially useful for cancers like prostate, breast, and cervical cancer.
Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT)
IMRT is a specialized form of EBRT that allows for varying radiation intensity within each beam. This precision allows us to deliver higher radiation doses to the tumor while sparing nearby organs and tissues, enhancing both safety and effectiveness.
Image-Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT)
Using imaging technology, IGRT provides real-time visualization during radiation therapy, ensuring accurate delivery of radiation to the tumor’s location. This method is particularly beneficial for tumors that may shift position, such as those in the lung or abdomen.
