Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT/VMAT, IGRT)
It is suitable for radical treatment of localized or locally advanced prostate cancer, and is also used for postoperative adjuvant or salvage irradiation in case of recurrence. The decision is influenced by staging, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and changes, margin/lymph node status, previou

How Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT/VMAT, IGRT) is performed
External beam intensity-modulated radiation therapy is performed after positioning CT with body fixation, and can be combined with MRI fusion; if applicable, gold markers or spacer materials can be placed to optimize positioning. The radiation oncology department formulates an intensity-modulated or volumetric rotational plan based on the delineated target area and organs at risk, and irradiates it in daily fractions after image-guided calibration. During the treatment process, skin, urinary, and intestinal reactions are monitored, and supportive treatment is adjusted as needed. The goal is to control the tumor while protecting the surrounding tissues. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specifics are subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
