Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT/VMAT/IGRT)
It can be used for radical radiotherapy for tonsil malignant tumors, or adjuvant radiotherapy when there are high-risk pathological factors after surgery; some cases need to be synchronized with chemotherapy. The decision depends on staging and lymph node involvement, margin and invasion risk, overa

How Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy (IMRT/VMAT/IGRT) is performed
Before treatment, a fixed position is usually made and a planning CT is performed. If necessary, other images are fused to delineate the target area and protect organs. Physicists and physicians develop intensity-modulated plans (IMRT/VMAT) and complete quality control before going online. Before each irradiation, the position is corrected by image guidance (IGRT), and the treatment is completed in fractions. During this period, the oral mucosa, skin and nutritional status are regularly evaluated, aiming to achieve sufficient irradiation while protecting important structures. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
