TomoTherapy® for Brain Cancer
TomoTherapy® Highly Integrated Adaptive Radiotherapy (HI-ART) is just one of the many leading-edge brain cancer treatment options available at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA). In one machine, the TomoTherapy® HI-ART system combines an advanced form of Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), the accuracy of CT scanning technology, and advanced tools for planning and delivering radiation therapy.
With TomoTherapy® HI-ART, the radiation therapy team at CTCA can:
- Sculpt small, powerful and precise radiation beams at difficult-to-reach tumors
- Target brain tumors using built-in CT scanning to confirm the shape and position of the tumor seconds before treatment begins
- Decrease radiation exposure to healthy surrounding tissue
Unlike traditional radiation therapies that project radiation on a tumor from only a few directions, TomoTherapy® HI-ART allows your CTCA radiation therapy team to deliver precise and powerful doses of radiation from 360 degrees.
In addition, an on-board CT scanner helps us determine if the tumor has shifted or changed shape since your last treatment. This information allows your radiation oncologist to plan your treatment better to avoid unnecessary damage to other sensitive areas.
If you have reached your maximum tolerance dose of traditional radiation, or if the tumor is in a difficult-to-reach area, TomoTherapy® HI-ART and other advanced radiation brain cancer treatments may open new doors for you.
Call us today at 1-800-615-3055 or chat online with a CTCA Oncology Information Specialist. We’ll schedule a consultation for you to learn if TomoTherapy® HI-ART is an appropriate brain cancer treatment option for you.
