Stomach Cancer Radiation Therapies: Trilogy
Experienced radiation oncologists at Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) utilize one of the most sophisticated radiation therapy delivery systems available: Varian’s Trilogy™. This cutting-edge tool targets radiation treatment so precisely, it avoids harm to the pancreas, kidneys and other normal tissue close to the stomach.
Watch a medical animation that explains how Trilogy delivers radiation treatment.
There are several advantages of using Trilogy to treat stomach cancer, including:
- Multi-capability: Your care team can plan and deliver SmartBeam™ Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy, Dynamic Targeting Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) and/or 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy from one machine.
- RapidArc™ technology: The system rotates a full 360 degrees around you to deliver an optimal dose of radiation to a tumor from all angles.
- Real-time imaging: Your care team can monitor tumor motion during your treatment to ensure the system adjusts, as needed, to pinpoint your treatment to the tumor.
- Speed in delivering treatment: You spend less time on the treatment table receiving radiation therapy because Trilogy is extremely fast and efficient in comparison to some radiation therapy delivery systems.
