• Radiotherapy, also called radiation therapy, is the treatment of cancer and other diseases with ionizing radiation.
1. Medical linear accelerators are the key systems used for delivering radiotherapy treatments. Radiotherapy with 2-D, 3-D or CT scan is more impressive treatment but not all hospitals provided this treatment.
2. Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) is the newest and most sophisticated form of external beam radiation therapy for the treatment of cancer. IMRT’s most promising use will be treating body cancers with less damage to healthy tissues.
3. Intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) this technique allows doctors to administer high doses of radiation to cancer without exposing nearby healthy organs to radiation. At this point of time, this treatment is not available in Malaysia.
