Cancer Treatments – IMRT

This medical animation illustrates Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT). When this treatment is administered, beams of radiation strike the tumor target after passing through a component in the IMRT machine which acts much like a filter. It shapes the radiation beams to the size and contour of the tumor. This helps to keep the radiation distribution tightly controlled, avoiding healthy tissue close to the tumor.

IMRT can treat difficult-to-reach tumors in areas such as the spine, head, neck, prostate, lung, liver and brain.

Real Patients. Real Stories. Real Hope.

Do these videos feature real cancer patients?

Yes, the videos in this section feature real CTCA survivors with real stories to tell. These are not actors. They are cancer patients who came to CTCA and emerged as survivors. These stories are not scripted. They are personal accounts of people who found hope, and a voice, at CTCA. This is what they have to say, in their own words...

Why are some, not all, cancer types listed?

At CTCA, we treat individuals with a variety of cancer types. However, all of our survivors are not on film. If you don't see a survivor with the cancer type you're looking for, it only means we do not have a video at this time.

Keep in mind, we are continuously adding videos to this section. If you don't see the one you're looking for today, visit us again, or let us know how we can improve.
