Radiation therapy (IMRT/SBRT)
Radical or neoadjuvant radiotherapy can be considered when the lesion is unresectable or the margins are resectable and need to be downstaged; adjuvant radiotherapy can be considered after surgery if pathology indicates close/positive margins or high-risk staging; it can also be used to relieve pain

How Radiation therapy (IMRT/SBRT) is performed
Before radiotherapy, body position fixation and localization CT/MRI fusion if necessary are usually performed. The doctor outlines the target area and organs at risk and formulates dose constraints. The physicist optimizes the intensity-modulated plan or stereotactic plan. During treatment, irradiation is performed in fractions under image guidance, and respiratory management and positioning correction are performed if necessary. During the treatment period, skin, gastrointestinal, and other reactions are monitored and supportive treatment is adjusted. The goal is to control the tumor while protecting normal tissues. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific details are subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
