Volumetric Modulated Arc Therapy
Volumetric Modulated arc Therapy in Yeshwanthpur
Volumetric Modulated Arc therapy is an advanced technology used by clinicians to treat cancer patients with radiation therapy. VMAT utilises a machine that circumnavigates around your body while delivering continuous doses of radiation to a tumour. As a subtype of Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT), VMAT takes precision to a new level. It employs varied radiation doses across multiple smaller beams, allowing healthcare providers to target tumours with unprecedented accuracy while sparing surrounding healthy tissues from harmful radiation levels.
VMAT discovers particular utility in treating irregularly shaped tumours or those in proximity to vital organs. The procedure is mostly used to administer radioactive doses in the prostate, head and neck, lung, anal, brain, breast, cervical, colorectal, oesophagal, nasopharyngeal, oropharyngeal cancer and more. Utilising photons (X-rays) generated by a medical linear accelerator (LINAC), VMAT provides maximum radiation dose delivery to the cancerous tumour. The LINAC machine adjusts small beams of varying intensities as it rotates around the patient, optimising the shape and strength of the radiation beams directed at the tumour. The process allows for the destruction of cancer cell DNA, leading to the cessation of these cells. VMAT is a refined and effective approach to cancer care and offers precise treatment while safeguarding healthy tissues from harmful radiation levels.
