Decatur, TX - Cancer treatment care sees exciting advances that open doors to more precise diagnostic methods as well as state-of-the-art treatment. The job of cancer care centers is to ensure that patients have access to these incredible developments.

“Cancer patients get up-to-date cancer treatments and quality therapies at our center,” say theradiation oncologists. “Chemotherapy is one of the treatments we offer in a comfortable and pleasant environment.”

Here are the three advanced equipment and techniques used in treating cancer:

Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy – IMRT provides potential benefits for the care of different cancer types. With this technology, oncologists can bombard cancer cells with higher radiation doses unlike before, while keeping the normal tissue exposure on a low.

Image Guided Radiation Therapy – IGRT offers a one-of-a-kind treatment advantage; it can achieve both unmatched tumor control and normal tissue sparing. The photo beam is shaped according to the tumor’s dimensions, and a high radiation dose can be directed to a malignancy without causing harm to surrounding tissue.

Linear Accelerators – This is a platform for IGRT and IMRT, which allows specialists to deliver variable amounts of radiation, is a controlled way. The machine utilizes a computerized tool to shape the radiation beam according to the optimized treatment plan. Linear accelerators can continuously move to change both the intensity and shape of the beam to fit a tumor’s form and size.
