Breast Cancer Research & Therapies

Advances in Radiation Therapy:

Advances in radiation therapy are revolutionizing breast cancer treatment, offering precise and targeted approaches to destroy cancer cells while minimizing damage to healthy tissue. Techniques like intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and proton therapy deliver radiation with pinpoint accuracy, reducing side effects and improving outcomes.

Hypofractionated radiation schedules shorten treatment durations, making it more convenient for patients. Image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT) uses real-time imaging to adjust treatment, ensuring accuracy.

Intraoperative radiation therapy (IORT) delivers a single dose of radiation during surgery, sparing healthy tissue. These advancements in radiation therapy enhance effectiveness, reduce treatment times, and improve quality of life for breast cancer patients, marking a significant stride in the fight against the disease.
