Treatment with a certain radiation therapy worsens quality of life in patients with prostate cancer. An expert explains ways to mitigate side effects. Patients with prostate cancer who receive ...

External-beam radiation therapy (EBRT) is a treatment where radiation beams come from a source outside the body. Usually, it comes from a machine called a linear accelerator (also called a LINAC).

The use of artificial intelligence in creating radiation treatment plans for prostate cancer appeared to be a success, according to a blinded, head-to-head study. Overall, radiation oncologists ...

IMRT uses a linear accelerator, a computer-controlled machine that’s about the size of a small car. It sends high-energy radiation or X-rays to cancers. IMRT doesn’t hurt. You shouldn’t feel anything ...

According to new research, radiation therapy administered before surgery rarely produces favorable responses in patients with ...

Our radiation oncologists use the latest technology available for radiation therapy. It’s important to understand how radiation therapy fits into your rectal cancer treatment plan. This information ...
