External beam radiation therapy (IMRT/VMAT)
It is often used for adjuvant treatment after surgery for high-grade gliomas, or for local control of incompletely resected/inoperable cases; it can also be considered for some low-grade lesions when the risk is high. Decision factors include pathological grade, residual extent, whether previous rad

How External beam radiation therapy (IMRT/VMAT) is performed
Radiotherapy usually starts with body positioning and localization CT, and MRI is fused if necessary to delineate the target area and organs at risk. Physicians and physicists optimize the dose distribution based on intensity-modulated techniques (IMRT/VMAT). During treatment, the body position is corrected through image guidance, and fractional irradiation is performed to balance control of the lesion and protection of normal tissues. The response is evaluated regularly during treatment, and follow-up imaging is arranged after completion. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
