Tomotherapy

Tomotherapy is a precise type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer. It combines imaging, which maps the tumor accurately, with radiation delivery. The machine moves around the patient in a spiral pattern, delivering narrow beams of radiation from many angles. This allows for targeted treatment that conforms closely to the tumor’s shape, sparing healthy tissue. The process is highly controlled and customizable, often used for complex or hard-to-reach tumors, improving effectiveness and reducing side effects compared to traditional radiation methods.
