Radiation therapy has long been a cornerstone in the treatment of cancer, offering targeted destruction of
malignant cells while sparing healthy tissue. This article explores the latest advancements in radiation therapy
techniques, including intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT), and
proton therapy. It discusses how these innovative approaches are reshaping cancer care by improving treatment
outcomes, reducing side effects, and expanding options for patients with previously untreatable tumors. Furthermore,
the article delves into the integration of cutting-edge technologies such as image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) and
adaptive radiation therapy (ART), which allow for precise tumor targeting and real-time adjustments during treatment.
By examining the current landscape of radiation therapy, this article underscores its pivotal role in the multidisciplinary
approach to cancer management and highlights the potential for continued advancements in the field.
