Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy

Overview

At AKUH, we offer advanced intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in Radiation Oncology as part of our comprehensive cancer care program. Radiation therapy uses powerful energy beams to destroy cancer cells. With IMRT, the radiation beams can be customized to minimize the effects of radiation therapy on normal body tissues.
