Volumetric Modulated Arc Radiation Therapy
Overview
At AKUH, we offer volumetric modulated arc therapy (VMAT), a state-of-the-art radiation therapy technique for treating various cancers. With VMAT, a machine rotates around your body while you are lying down, delivering continuous doses of radiation toward the tumour. The shape and strength of the radiation doses are constantly adjusted. VMAT allows for highly precise dosage and delivery of radiation, making it a good option for treating oddly shaped tumours or tumours close to vital organs.
