Arc Therapy

Advantages Arc therapy offers several benefits, including:

• Precision: It provides highly accurate dose delivery to the tumor, which minimizes radiation exposure to surrounding healthy tissues.
• Efficiency: The continuous rotation and modulation of the radiation beam reduce treatment times compared to traditional methods.
• Flexibility: It allows for complex treatment plans and can accommodate tumors in various locations and shapes.

Applications

 Arc therapy is commonly used for treating various cancers, including those in the prostate, breast, lung, and brain. It is particularly effective for tumors that are irregularly shaped or located near critical structures.

Outcome 

Patients typically experience shorter treatment sessions and potentially fewer side effects due to the precise nature of the therapy. The effectiveness of arc therapy depends on the cancer’s type, stage, and location, as well as the accuracy of the treatment planning and delivery.
