, The use of radioactive sources placed into a tumor-bearing area to generate high
intensity radiation is termed? Answers - Brachytherapy
External Beam Radiation Answers - The most common type of radiation therapy used
for cancer treatment. A machine is used to aim high-energy rays (or beams) from
outside the body into the tumor. (The machine most commonly used is called a linear
accelerator or "linac.")
What radiation therapy uses several beams of various intensities aimed at different
angles to precisely target the tumor. Through the use of CT, MRI or other advanced
imaging techniques to precisely map the position of the tumor. The images are used to
design a four-dimensional, customized treatment plan that determines beam intensity
and positioning. The goal is to deliver the highest possible dose to kill the cancer while
minimizing exposure to healthy organs. Answers - Stereotactic body radiation therapy
(SBRT) or Stereotactic ablative radiotherapy
A machine called a synchrotron or cyclotron speeds up protons. The high speed of the
protons creates high energy. This energy makes the protons travel to the desired depth
in the body. The protons then give the targeted radiation dose in the tumor. There is
less radiation dose outside of the tumor which minimizes damage to the surrounding
healthy tissues & organs, which helps reduce side effects. Answers - Proton Beam
