3DCRT - 3D Conformal Radiation Therapy

is a cancer treatment that shapes the radiation beams to match the shape of the tumor. In the past, radiation beams only matched the height and width of the tumor — exposing healthy tissue to radiation. Conformal radiation therapy uses the targeting information to focus precisely on the tumor, while avoiding the healthy surrounding tissue.
