What is IMRT?

Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is an advanced type of radiation therapy used to treat cancer. It uses computer-generated images to plan and deliver precise radiation doses to the tumor while minimizing exposure to surrounding healthy tissue. IMRT is commonly used to treat cancers of the prostate, head and neck, breast, and lung.
