Tomotherapy

Tomotherapy is a more advanced system that scans and treats cancer in one go. Doctors usually go for this treatment mode to effectively kill hard-to-reach and complex cancer cells. While it is useful to treat tumour cells that have spread to other organs and successfully treat multiple cancers at a time. Temotherapy reduces damage to healthy tissue and lowers the risk of complications. Moreover, it can also treat cancers that have resumed back and potentially kill all cancer cells and lessen the chance of recurrence.

Tomotherapy is an advanced radiation therapy treatment option that combines Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy with the precision of Computed Tomography, all in one machine. Tomotherapy enables doctors to adjust the radiation beam and accurately project the location of the tumour depending on the size and shape of the tumour. Tomotherapy targets the tumours with exact accuracy and spares the surrounding healthy organs and tissue from the effects of radiation.

Tomotherapy is used for treating multiple cancers like Prostate Cancer, Breast Cancer, Lung Cancer, Head, and Neck Cancers, Brain Cancer, and Spinal Neck Cancers.
