3D Conformal Radiation for Extrahepatic Bile Duct Cancer
At Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA), our goal is to provide you with advanced treatment options for extrahepatic bile duct cancer. One of the innovative radiation techniques our cancer experts offer is three-dimensional (3D) conformal radiation therapy.
In 3D conformal radiation, CTCA radiation oncologists employ computed tomography (CT) planning to image and reconstruct a tumor and surrounding tissue in three dimensions. Then, they shape multiple radiation beams exactly to the contour of the treatment area. This exact targeting makes it possible for CTCA experts to focus higher levels of radiation on the tumor, while helping to limit exposure to nearby normal tissue.
