Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT)
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy, also called IMRT, is an advanced type of radiation therapy. Radiation therapy uses powerful energy beams to kill cancer cells. The energy can come from X-rays, protons or other sources.
IMRT can be used to treat cancers and tumors that aren't cancerous, which are called benign tumors. It can treat cancers and tumors anywhere in the body.
Intensity-modulated radiation therapy, also called IMRT, is used to treat cancers and tumors that aren't cancerous. The goal of treatment is to target the radiation so that nearby healthy tissue isn't hurt.
