What is IMRT radiation and is it an alternative to a radical prostatectomy?
IMRT (Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy) is one of the best forms of radiation therapy. It is computer-controlled radiation that delivers precise doses to malignant tumors or specific areas within a tumor with minimal effect on other tissue. The technology allows for higher and more effective doses to be delivered without damaging surrounding tissue.
