Advanced Radiation Therapy Techniques for Treating Prostate Cancer Effectively
Radiation therapy for prostate cancer involves use of high-intensity and powerful radiation to stop the production of cancerous cells and tissues in prostate gland of patients.
- Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy - Intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is a new feather in the cap of radiation therapy treatments. This state-of-art-therapy can efficiently treat cancerous cells in prostate that are difficult to treat by using other treatments or surgeries. IMRT involves use of certain softwares that can help in planning precise dose of radiation according to dimension of cancerous tumor inside patient's prostate gland in advance. These softwares create three dimensional (3D) images of cancerous tumors and determine its severity. During intensity modulated radiation therapy, respective patients are exposed to high-end device called as 'linear accelerator'. This medical instrument specifically delivers the exact amount of radiation which is pre-calculated by surgeons. The sharp beam of radiations are focused on cancerous tumor that helps in destroying their production in prostate gland. Patients may need to undergo such sessions multiple times for ensuring best results.
- Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy - Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) destroys unwanted prostate cancer tumor with millimeter precision. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses highly advanced imaging procedures to maintain accuracy throughout the radiation session. Thus, this procedure can significantly reduce the chances of damaging healthy cells nearby the cancerous tumor. Before SBRT, doctors place markers around the cancerous area that needs to be treated.

Patients struggling with advanced prostate cancer may require to undergo SBRT for several times.
