The use of radioactive sources placed into a tumor-bearing area to generate high intensity radiation is
termed? - ANSWER Brachytherapy
External Beam Radiation - ANSWER 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. - ANSWER 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. -
ANSWER Proton Beam Treatment
