Radiation Therapy for Gallbladder Cancer
Radiation therapy is a primary gallbladder cancer treatment used at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA). In addition, it can be used for the relief of related gallbladder cancer symptoms.
Radiation therapy for gallbladder cancer may be used alone or in combination with other conventional forms of treatment, such as gallbladder surgery or chemotherapy.
At CTCA, our gallbladder cancer center specializes in innovative and new radiation therapies that target cancerous gallbladder cells, sparing surrounding healthy tissue as much as possible. Many of these therapies also help to reduce common side effects of conventional treatment.
Two leading radiation therapies our cancer doctors may suggest for your gallbladder cancer treatment are Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy.
