3D Conformal Radiotherapy in Hyderabad
Understanding 3D Conformal Radiotherapy
3D conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) is an advanced form of external beam radiation therapy used to treat cancer. This technique allows for the radiation beams to be shaped precisely to conform to the three-dimensional (3D) shape of the tumor. The goal of 3D-CRT is to deliver a high radiation dose to the tumor while minimizing damage to the surrounding healthy tissue.
Treatment Approach
- Advanced Radiation Technique: 3D Conformal Radiotherapy (3D-CRT) uses sophisticated computer software and CT imaging to create a three-dimensional model of the tumor, allowing precise targeting.
- Tailored Radiation Beams: Customized radiation beams conform to the shape of the tumor, ensuring maximum dose delivery to cancerous cells while sparing healthy tissue.
- Versatility in Treatment: Suitable for treating a wide range of cancers, including prostate, breast, lung, and brain tumors.
- Treatment Planning: Detailed planning involves a multidisciplinary team to determine the most effective radiation dosage and approach.
- Enhanced Tumor Targeting: By using 3D imaging, 3D-CRT can accurately target tumors that are close to vital organs or that have irregular shapes.
- Reduced Side Effects: Precision in targeting minimizes exposure to surrounding healthy tissues, thereby reducing potential side effects.
- Session Duration: Each radiotherapy session is relatively quick, often completed within a few minutes.
