ADVANCED TREATMENT METHODS

IMRT INTENSITY-MODULATED RADIOTHERAPY
This is an advanced treatment technique in which the radiation dose is precisely adjusted according to the shape of the tumour.

IGRT IMAGE-GUIDED RADIOTHERAPY
High precision is achieved by confirming the target location using images taken before or during treatment.

SRS STEREOTACTIC RADIOSURGERY
It involves the application of high-dose radiation to brain or spinal cord lesions with millimetric accuracy in a single session or a small number of sessions.

SBRT STEREOTACTIC BODY RADIOTHERAPY
It is a precise radiotherapy method that delivers high doses in a small number of sessions to tumours outside the brain (e.g. lung, liver, spine).

BRACHYTHERAPY
It is an internal irradiation method where the radiation source is placed directly into or near the tumour.

TARGETED RADIOTHERAPY / ADAPTIVE RADIOTHERAPY
A personalised approach where the treatment plan is dynamically updated during the course of treatment based on changes in the patient’s anatomy.
