Pancreatic Cancer Treatment: Radiation Therapy
Used alone or in combination with surgery or chemotherapy, radiation therapy can be utilized almost anywhere within your body to treat cancer. It may also be used for relief of symptoms. Radiation therapy techniques continually evolve, enabling radiation oncology experts at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) to direct higher radiation doses at pancreatic cancer cells and emit limited doses to normal, healthy pancreatic tissue.
Two of the leading radiation techniques CTCA radiation oncologists use to treat cancer of the pancreas include Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT) and 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy.
